August sewing: I hope to get busy with Gertie

After seeing Anna's sailor blouse that she whipped up using Gerties Sailor Blouse course on Creative Bug, I have been keen as, to whip up the same using the L'Estrange fabric I purchased at Tessuti
.
Sadly, I bought the class, printed out all the pattern pieces, washed the fabric and was ready to go,  but found it difficult to match the print outs and couldn't find the sizing chart so, in a moment of frustration and desperation  just..... ended up buying Gerties book so that I could get the pattern. I know, I know, I could have just fumbled through, but it was the principle of the matter. So now I wait for the book to arrive.

I also bought a piece of fabric from Shaukat which I'm also waiting on. I justified my purchase after finishing off in record time two projects using recent purchases.   I've got a feeling I might make a shirt dress - Amy made a great one which you should check out if you haven't already , but I think I might go with something like the one Sallie made.  I guess I'll have a better feeling for what I should make when the fabric arrives. But I wait for that too.

So, I might get on with something tomorrow, I have a couple of projects which I could start, and there is also the Sewcial Bee tomorrow, but for now, I'm lethargically snuggling up with my lap blanket...
