Even though I have plenty of fabric and trims…I can always find something pretty to buy when I go fabric shopping.  I will walk into the store with a few items I may need in the back of my mind.  While inside I will walk down the aisles and feel the fabric.  I’ll envision a dress out of this piece, maybe a purse out of this…oh, and that would make a lovely skirt for me!  Ideas for future projects dance in front of my eyes.

I think if I had a proper sewing room, I wouldn’t buy so much fabric.  I forget what I have when the fabric is stuffed in a tote instead of nicely folded on a shelf.  One of these days our dream of a finished basement will come to fruition.  I make my plans for a sewing room/guest room with storage and space to work.  It will have a murphy bed for those occasions when we have guests, so it will be a wonderfully functional room.  Brian makes plans for the wine cellar of his dreams, of course. 

I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the bead trims here (purses perhaps?), but the pink trims will certainly adorn some pretty TWIRLY (very important!) dresses for summer.  Anya has decided that she now likes to wear dresses, so she has taken to wearing all her summer dresses right now.  They work quite well with a long-sleeved top and leggings, to keep her warm. 

Now, I just need a week or so of free time to get sewing done for summer.  I’m very happy that was able to make a lot of Anya’s clothes for this winter, so that is my plan for her summer wardrobe.  I also want to make a few items for Kailan, too.  The only thing I really won’t make is jeans.  I’m not a huge fan of making anything with zippers. 

There is always some sort of “project” the lil ones are working on, too.  Getting them to clean up after they are done?  That is the challenge!
