You should know...

That I love to sew.

Currently on the sewing machine: Naomi's Easter dress. $3 fabric from Wal-Mart. Bought on a whim because there were coordinating purple fabrics on the $3 rack! :) Going for coordinating purples this year, rather than matchy-matchy. Using THIS pattern, and doing the cap sleeves.

Currently in the mend pile: A pair of Naomi's leggings that have sprouted a hole in the crotch. My sister-in-law's cropped cardigan. She was going to throw it out because it has a hole. (((wink))) We can fix that!

Currently on the "I want to sew that in my free time" pile: A grape vine fabric mantel cover for a friend who has a grape vine obsession. Thinking something like THIS fabric, using a pattern she gave to me (she says she'll never get around to sewing it herself).

Currently in the "Must be sewn before Easter" pile: Silver satin to make THIS dress. For me ;). the tank version with ruffles. Let it be written in history: Susie, high-school hater of all this prissy, girly, ruffly, or pink - now wears pink and intends to wear ruffles.

Currently on the list of things to do: No sewing! Must clean house!
