I've been working on my spring wardrobe! But also I'm also working on SWAP. The theory being I make 11 pieces and then six of those form a core which is suitable for spring 6-PAC.

However, I've only completed one item. It is a very basic & versatile dress, sewn Alabama Chanin-style. Definitely the right sort of garment for a 6-PAC. (Pic shows how I can layer it many ways.) If I had black jersey yardage, I would have already sewn a second one, but I don't and that's that.


I'd already posted the dress in SWAP and Alabama Chanin so I didn't post it here yet as I didn't want to go overkill and plaster it all over the board, LOL.

I'm also working on an embellished tank but I'm not sure if it will be part of the 6-PAC. (This is the back of the tank.)



And today I'm cutting out two dresses, one striped and one floral, both black/grey. One of these will be in the 6-PAC and one maybe not. So I have plans, and I am sewing, but I'm a bit confused which garments will fit into the 6-PAC or SWAP or both.  ::) For the record, I do wear colors other than black and grey, but I am in dire need of neutral basics just now.

Janis, I'm sorry you're having trouble in the sewing room and hope that things look up soon!

Susan in Saint John, I'm not too optimistic about the arrival of spring here, either. Yesterday was a glorious 50 degree (F) day and tonight we are getting another big snow.

Redside, I'm looking forward to seeing your first item! I wonder what it will be! ;D

I like Silk Baron. Their dupioni is the slubbier Indian weave. I like the texture, but some prefer the smoother Italian dupioni.

I've recently purchased charmeuse from them and am quite pleased with the quality.

I've been to this expo a couple of times in the past when it was held at the Framingham Hilton, so glad they decided to have it at the DCU center instead since its a much larger venue

Would this be the correct place to post this?   After reading the above two posts, and knowing I use stash to make Jalie Tshirts, and have accumulating SO many items above what I need, I am giving them away by the sacks!

Is that stash reduction?

I am dancing around the house getting ready for the Atlanta trip tomorrow!  This is a highlight of my year, and I am bringing someone new this year, as I try to do every year.

I am NOT gloating, just 100% excited!

La Madelines, Gail K's, Nordstrom....all of that is part of my enjoyment of the trip.

Louise's booth is always the first booth everyone who is a serious seamstress visits.

keep us posted.  I'm still awaiting delivery.  Like Bev - I love the top pattern.  I also have the banded front cardigan.  I've made 3 of those for DDIL.
