Happy New Year 2015



HAPPY NEW YEAR

Goodbye 2014 - Hello 2015

Lots of plans and ideas - now to implement them!!  

I am aiming for a productive year.

Over Christmas/New Year, my sewing room became the junk/storage room - where everything got shoved into in cleaning up for Christmas.  I finally excavated in there yesterday and tidied up - and now have it all but
clean again. 

My sewing pattern addiction has not abated.  I need to buy a couple more storage tubs to put the latest lot in. I've taken a bag of patterns into work to photocopy front & back of the envelope when I have some spare time.
Spotlight,I'm pleased to say seems to be having more regular pattern sales with patterns costing $5-00. I keep a listing patterns I want to buy on my phone.

During the New Year sale at Spotlight,I picked up a couple of pretty fabrics. A cotton sateen in a lightish grey with a splashy floral print and also a blue paisley print on a cotton pique.  I'm thinking skirts.  I'd love to get some more of the cotton sateen to make a matching jacket -  I feel another trip to Spotlight is in my future!

I washed the lime rayon  that I bought several months ago yesterday - only to discover that I had left it on my sewing table in front of the window - a little bit of sun damage!!  Lucky I bought a little extra and should be able to work around it.  I'll be buying a blind for that window on the weekend.
