Another great haul from my Church lady friend! She purged more patterns and a box of fabric too. There were a lot of patterns for children and purse patterns in this load. I found a few patterns that I will keep. An apron pattern, a tote bag, a few wardrobe and skirt patterns. Unfortunately I don't have any little girls to sew for, so I will be passing those along.

I love when fabric comes with a story! I was told that this lace panel came from a trip to Europe. They don't have screens on their windows and use lace fabric panels to cover window openings. This is a beautiful lace panel. There's a rod pocket along the top edge and a weighted hem. How interesting!

This yard of fabric is my favorite one out of the bunch. It's a medium/heavy canvas type fabric. I'm thinking a tote bag for the beach this summer. It's talking to me..........

When making my pattern fitting, I use a brown kraft paper to redraw onto. I have had the same roll of brown kraft paper for over 5 years! It lasts forever. I have finally gotten close to the end of the roll so I had to do some shopping. Thank goodness for Amazon so I can shop from the comfort of my recliner.
I found a roll of brown kraft paper that was 30" wide and 1010' feet long! Compared to my previous roll that was only 24" wide, I won't have to piece fuller skirt patterns or sleeves. I can lay multi pieces of patterns on a sheet of kraft to retrace. I'm ready to trace out patterns!

I'm hoping to work on another Muse Natalie Dress this week. I was gifted 2 yards of a floral print knit fabric that I think will make a nice version. The only thing that has me hesitant is that the floral print is a one way design.............
Wish me luck...................
Until next time....................................
