A busy wonderful weekend!

I mentioned in my last post that I played hooky on Friday! So glad that I did! The extra day off was exactly what I needed because I am feeling myself again! I can go back to work Monday feeling relaxed and refreshed!

My weekend project

I found the material above at Joann fabrics! I love animal prints and decided to make a light knit dress. I haven’t sewn for myself in a while and decided that I’d like to get back into making clothes. I also found some new patterns that I haven’t used! ( I also have a pattern for dog hoodies that I must put to good use!) It didn’t take me long to put the dress together and it fits perfectly! However…..

My new dress

I forgot to buy an invisible zipper so I have to wait to finish it! I can’t wait to wear it and will post a picture when I do. I had enough material left to cut out a pair of pants and make an infinity scarf.

My infinity scarf

I had made another scarf last weekend after I finished my top. ( Made from material I bought years ago!) I plan to use the rest of the material for a skirt to match the scarf. It is thin material so I will need material for a lining.

I love scarves!
My finished top

I really didn’t like working  with the floral material, but I do love how the top turned out. There was enough material left for a skirt but decided against making it. I will probably make a red skirt to go with it. (I have some cotton material that may go well with it.)

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
