My new dresses
This is from Simplicity 3835 (one of my favorites). It is a fall color, but I just had the urge to make it. I'll wear it this Sunday and save it for the fall.
This the first time I've tried this pattern. Cut on the bias. I made A version from one of my thrifed sheets. (Sheets are great for trying out a pattern). I love the way it fits. This was my Spring Fever fix (almost Spring). Today's temps 68 degrees.

Friends visit
My friend Teresa came over today to get the organizer for her sister. My sister Vickie and my niece Ashley also came over and we all had lunch and talked a lot. Teresa and I email each other, but we haven't seen each other in over a year. Can't wait to do that again. Should have taken some pictures.
My other purse I was working on Friday. I really like the colors. Used recycled handles from a yard sale purse.

2 purses and an organizer
Made this organizer for my friend's sister (Teresa, hope Anna likes it). Then I was definitely on a roll and completed 2 purses and almost another one.
The front of this purse is from a pillowcase. I had the idea for a long time, just decided it was time. I really want to start an Etsy shop. What do you think? Could I make it?

More thrifts (I'm on a roll)
The corduroy reminds me of Lera's great find. I'm been wanting some ever since I saw the dress she made. It was $2.00 for 2 7/8 yards. The eyelet type material (not cotton) 3 yards was $1.50 and a zipper for .10.
Still working on that quilt for Jakob. It won't be long now. I also found a pair of jeans today for a $1.00 which should help me finish.

Crayon holder
Layla informed me her birthday was in October and she doesn't have a shirt with the number 5. So I had to make one.

My latest pillowcase finds. I found 2 of these lovely embroidered pillowcases at Goodwill for .99 each. Haven't found much of anything else lately.
