It is for the yummy yellow dress from the February 2010 issue of BURDA Style. The pattern is very simple, so it will showcase the lovely drape of the gabardine.
I am thinking of embroidery for the collar, and a self belt with a little embroidery as well.
Picture something with minimal thread coverage and maybe a few swarovski crystals. I will report back after reviewing my embroidery designs.
Meanwhile, the leather skirt is still on the sewing table and will hopefully be finished before I get too involved with the planning of my next project.
My new year's resolution to focus less on work has suffered a minor setback as I worked both Saturday and Sunday this weekend, but I think I will ask for a day or two off midweek next week to stay home and sew. That would be terrific! A whole day or two to myself....
Deb, love your sewing but I wanted to comment on work taking over your life. There was a time when even taking a vacation was difficult for me to schedule. I found that taking a day here and a day there for sewing, yes, but sometimes just to luxuriate. Like a day at a spa, or even just afternoon at the manicurist. Taking a day or afternoon for yourself, can improve your attitude and satisfaction with life but it also reminds those your work for that you are valuable. Don't hesitate to ask for a short periods of time off.
