My March Project - Planning

I am keeping my New Year's resolution!  It's March and here is my March project.

This knit was in the stash photos I shared in January. I got it from the sale section at Joann's for about $7 a yard. It is very soft and slightly "see-through".  I don't want to make anything too involved with it for 2 reasons. First being, I'm super super busy and don't have much time and really this is a beautiful piece of fabric and it doesn't need much.

I bought this book recently. I think I read about it in a magazine ... can't remember. Anyway, it talks about 10 iconic black dresses worn by famous people over the last 60 years or so and gives patterns for these dresses with one variation each, which explains the 20 garments mentioned on the cover.

See the pouch with all the folded up patterns?

I wondered how she got so many patterns squished into that small envelope. Well, this is how! The patterns are all printed on top of each other. And all sheets are printed front and back, so you have to trace out the pieces you need.


Next time I will show how I did that and cut this top out.

    I am a commercial pattern maker who is now "sewing over 50"!
    I love to sew and hope to encourage others to come back to sewing.
