What are you working on at the moment?

Me? Usually I'm a one project at a time girl.  Maybe I can throw a knitting project in with a sewing project, but really that's the extent of my sewing multi tasking. I prefer to focus and finish.  Well something has happened because I now find myself with four projects currently on the go. I mean really on the go and not just in my wish list, which like everyone elses is overflowing and only getting bigger..

Number one on the sewing list is obviously my drop waist shirt dress.  Sadly, today I only managed to cut out the Tiny Dancer fabric and then I promptly put it back in the cupboard. I just didn't feel like sewing it today.  Strange. My due date for this is July so there is still time. Slow and steady on this one.

 

Tomorrow marks the start of the Bombshell sewalong so today I spent my afternoon prepping the pattern and listening to this Thread Cult pod cast rather than sewing my shirt dress.  Last night I panicked and decided that the fabric I had in the stash left over from this dress, which I've always wanted to use in a swimsuit might not actually be water resistant let alone chlorine resistant.. so I did a midnight buy from Tessuti and ordered this fabulous fabric.

Last week I bought some double muslin as I had some great plans to join in the pyjama party , but I went a bit 'off piste' as Jo would say and ended up making a mess of them.  I've been wanting, like some old lady, a little blanket for my legs when I'm watching tv (first I was obsessed with Mr Selfridge, then Game of Thrones and now it's Sherlock) - well it is winter, so I decided to cut up my pj mess and make it into a lo fi quilt, using the rest of the double muslin I have in the stash.  It is very lo fi, but will be lovely to snuggle up under.. and because I'll hand quilt and hand sew the binding it also means I can be under it while I'm sewing. Yay.

Lastly, I've got this little babie beanie on the go for my French teacher who is expecting her first baby (a girl).  Clearly I'm a knitter with only one trick in the book.  A baby beanie... well two if you count baby leg warmers.
