Sew! Sew! Sew for the craft show!

Sewing is like exercising. If you aren't use to sewing everyday, you get sore! I've been sewing as fast as I can, and I still can't compare to most seamstresses. I'll get there yet though!
My sewing room on the main floor has been painted, now all it needs is trimming, flooring and a new light fixture and I'm ready to move in! I'm soooo stoked! My first real sewing room... I'm just going to let that sink in for a bit....
And I'm back. I've got some items to show you, although i only have 3 finished ones. I've got 3 more cut out ready to sew, and fabric washed for five more.
Speaking of fabric, wanna know what my hubby got me for Mother's day? If you can't guess, you may want to put down your wine, or get some sleep ;) Fabric! Actually, he gave me money for fabric, which is better, because that means fabric shopping with a friend! And who was the awesome friend that came with me? The one and only Jeanine Thomlinson! I'm privileged to get to hang out with her in real life, and she's just as awesome in person! Now at least, I have something that is beginning to resemble as 'stash'.
So back to what I sewed.
First up on my list is one of the patterns I'm am currently addicted to. The Tobago Tank, by SS/SB. This one makes number 2 of many to come. I love this monotone fine print. It works like a solid, with the perk of a print :) (Btw, like my dress form? It's full rolls of tp, wrapped in a jersey pillow case, lol. Make it work!)
Tobago number 3! This print caught my eye at the local fabric shop. I knew it would make a great Tobago, and what little girl wouldn't love this cute fairy castle print?


Picked up this super cute shorts pattern, and couldn't wait to stitch up a pair for my youngest! Fabric was given to me by a teacher from my past (shout out to Miss K!Thank you!) I've got a tobago cut out in a coordinating print, and will post them together yet on my girly. Can't wait to sew up some more of these, who knew shorts could be such a quick sew, and with functional pockets too! That was a must, seeing as little miss Monkey is a collector of all things small.

And there you have the beginning of my collection for the last minute craft show, which is coming up fast! I'd better get some sleep, I've got a lot of sewing to do tomorrow! Thanks for checking out my little corner of the web!
