Choose your own fabric adventure!

It's Tuesday yet again! Things are (shop) hopping here, and we've hardly sat down today. I hope it's a great day for you, too-- get out and enjoy some of the sun after its brief disappearance (do I mean the cold or do I mean the eclipse?).

We saw those oh-so-balmy temps coming and thought we've got JUST the thing: light, dreamy, bright-and-beautiful rayon! But what to make, hm? Well, I can't make decisions for you... but I can make them easier. Here's three perfect patterns to picture in three flirty, floaty fabrics!


LENOX SHIRTDRESS	FRACTURED CONTOUR	JALIE ADELE FLUTTER SLEEVE TOP

FAN DANCE, TURQUOISE/BRIGHT PINK	CHALK & NOTCH FRINGE DRESS	LONDON FLORAL, CABERNET

I've locked myself away in my garret to batch sew for a vacation in June (and for warm-weather wear in general, since I'm seriously lacking). I'm tracking my projects through the beta version of the app Backstitch, which bills itself as a Ravelry for sewing. Have you tried it yet? How do you keep track of your plans and projects?

Did you catch Michele and I unboxing these new cottons? I'm a certified bird maniac, but I might've loved these already: they remind me of making monoprints in my college printmaking courses, with their wonderful chine-colle textures and bright, melty color!


ANEMONES	COUCAL MULTI	PECHE MULTI	STELLA BLUE

But they aren't the only new arrivals...
