New project?

Well, I went to the rummage sales yesterday and scored some lovely blue velour (yards and yards of it for $1). I think I might use it to tackle the Willemientje dress from Farbenmix. The blue would be the overdress color and I still need to decide on what to use for the underdress. White satin? Maybe a nice bit of white eyelet material? I'm thinking light colors. It will definitely be a winter garment if I make it out of velour so I'd better get on it if I want it to be worn this year.

I also purchased some lovely bright flowered fabric that I might use as a underdress for a Feliz dress for Primrose. I have a lovely bird print that I could use for the apron--or vice versa. Maybe flowers over birds. Too many choices.

I finally set up my mannequin but she's not wearing anything new yet. I can't bring myself to cut into any fabric.

First rummage sales of spring (almost)

March 11 and 12 it's the big church rummage sale kick-off with West Seattle Presbyterian and Tibbetts Methodist having their sales from 9-5. Just as a head's up, University Congregational  (in the U district) is having it's annual rummage and plant sale April 15. Doors open at 9:30.

I love church rummage sales. I am waiting eagerly for Sandpoint Community Methodist to have their annual sale. I could swear that they had it the same day as Tibbetts second sale last year, but I suppose that that would make it an Autumn sale instead of spring.

Exactly how far will I drive for a good church rummage sale? So far, I think it's Everett. Although I have definitely given Puyallup some thought.
