I feel like such a bum!
I have done nothing towards my plan all week. When I last wrote that I was going to start working on Jalie 2806, I actually ended up on my couch, watching through my BWOF issues for some fantasy sewing, reading a couple of magazine articles and eating chocolate chessmen cookies,,, they are quite good, better with ice cream but I was too lazy to get up to go to the fridge. That may have been for the best.. hmmm
Oh snap,,ROFLOL,,, hopefully I looked a little bit more pulled together while I was doing it!
Okay all giggling aside.
How about some Fabric Love.
The Story
Last weekend, we took my MIL and BIL to New York City so they can see what it looks like in person. My MIL was very impressed, even though we were soaked.... why?
Because as soon as we got there the rain came down in a Fury. I had on a white shirt,,,, do I need to say more?
I didn't feel that bad, after all its NY, at least my flats didn't float away like this one girl that jumped across a huge puddle of water,, she made it, but one of her flats didn't.
Nevertheless, she kept moving like it was still on, didn't even looked at it as it floated away,lol, only in NY baby, only in NY.
Its been a while, I see the city as it is,, my MIL was just awe struck, the building,, what people actually call clothing,,, and even worse, the fact that they actually wore it outside of their homes, lol, its fun for me, its like a free show.
But anyway, seeing that the rain was stop and go, we made it up to 39th and 7th Ave. For a minute, I totally forgot I was in the Fashion District, I was so caught up with pointing things out to my MIL. Once we stopped for shelter, I saw we were across the street from Fashion Fabric, Inc. (270 W. 39th St. between 6th and 7th Ave, NY).
You best believe, Devin gave me the look of Disgust, once he put two and two together.
I had a moment of reflection, this trip is not about me, its about my dh's family, I should have some manners, some hospitality, some darn etiquette....
then I saw this eyelet

and a close up

inside the door..... then every shred of decency and good upbringing went straight out the window and I made a dash for it. He didn't follow me.
As I paid for my two and half yards, I did think about how I was going to get home, if he did decide to leave me......... hmmmmmm
whatever, I would take the train to my dad's place in Brooklyn, NO BIGGIE, "CREDIT PLEASE", lol
but he come in to get me, he must have saw me eyeing the silk chameuse that seem to be in every freaking color on the wall.
After that, we went to toys R us and the rest is History, so what am I going to make?
Well....................
don't know but I am liking,,,,,, really yearning for something along these lines.
but I can't find a pattern, I am loving this square front button down business, oh so cute, with my new favorite white cropped jacket, lol, told you I would get into one, we will see, I may just post it on PR and see what they come up with,,, most helpful place IMO,,, well,,, SG is awesome too but I read more than I post.
Oh,, and who is doing the sew-along for Burda English group,,,..
I am
and who just got some yummy stretch cotton today for 06-2008-107..
I did.

both from SaywerBrook.
So,,,, hopefully this is what I will be working on this weekend so I can get it out of the way, I had to put it in my plan but this is for Phase 3,, a hint of the colors that will be featured there btw. So,,,, no finished Garment post, if you are not in the burda English group, until Phase 3 time. Sorry!
okay okay
so I'm a little corny today, but its all to cover up my depression. My coworker Christina, decided to quit,,,,,,, I know it was the best thing for her but it sucks for me, I will miss having her around, she was one of my biggest motivators, so kind hearted, all around fabulous person,, ever,,,, sniff sniff!
anyway,more photos to follow.
Have a great weekend!
