Thanks to a generous offer from a dear friend to run an errand for me yesterday I actually found a few moments to focus my efforts in the sewing room.
There is a little more fabric in residence at the moment than will fit in the allotted storage area so a few pieces have been allowed to take up residence on the cutting table. These are knits that should fill my immediate requirements for summer tops, a few pieces that are crying out to be made up soon, and a couple of other pieces that I just want to get off the fabric shelves and into the closets.
Then, because I had "free" time, I actually got some of the fabric washed and ready to cut and I was able to pull out the two versions of the pattern drafts I made for that last Burda knit top and start to compare what I had done, so that I can make the necessary fixes and continue my work on this pattern. I may interrupt for a few projects, depending on mood, but I definitely want to perfect this pattern a little more, and I will definitely wear it again.
And you know what? It was so nice to play with fabric, dream of garments, and actually look at pattern pieces and try to reassemble my thoughts after a couple of months absence.
