New Look 6515

Another bit of summer wardrobe sewing completed. The pattern is New Look 6515, bought back in April, and the fabric is a printed cotton lawn, which I found at Walmart. I really love the fabric. I left off the ties that were called for and had to make a few adjustments to the size. It has a side zipper which I'm still not sure I put in exactly right, but it seems to work and look o.k., so I'm happy. It's much lower cut than I had hoped, but luckily today I found a camisole to match...Thank you all for stopping by and for your encouraging comments and e-mails. I want to reply and answer your questions, and I really do hope to get going on that after the holiday.

Tomorrow we're headed over to my mom & dad's to celebrate the Fourth ~ do you have any special plans for the day?

the weekend

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Our heat wave has passed, and we are having cooler temps in the 70's. This little nest and blue speckled egg were found on the ground after some recent high winds...


The weather was perfect this weekend for getting out into the gardens and doing some weeding and watering ~ we are hoping for some much needed rain soon!

I also got some lavender cut...

And, the henhouse was cleaned, feed was bought, sweet cherries were picked, and I almost finished sewing a pair of brown linen capri pants ~ a good weekend in all!


This week I have been mostly crocheting!




Shower puffs! what else possibly......
