It’s been a while since I posted anything, but between Jan. & April thing get very busy on my job, and when I get home the last thing I want to see is a computer. I just wanted to say hello and updated you on what I’ve been doing since my last blog.
Although, I have a lot of projects on the burner, I’m making a dent in my WIP’S especially my sewing, knitting is going kind of slow, but now that I have a saner schedule I’ll be able to accomplish more.

I also started another one for my other granddaughter Ami who is 9 yrs old, she’ll be 10 yrs old on June 25th, so I am making her something else I am not sure what as yet so I’ll post hers when I am done.
Necia (janeofalltrades), Chante {harlempurl} and I went to Manny, Necia’s fabric outlet, (Thank you Necia & Chante) .
Manny has a wide array of fabrics it was had to choose, bought these beautiful pieces.

So far I’ve cut all of the fabric white & I with the exception of the red my favorite and I’m still looking for the perfect pattern. I’ll posting as soon as I finished them
I made this a 2 pair of Capri’s and a pair of black pin stripe slacks. I used this Butterick Pattern. The fabric is a piece of remnant from suiting, usually used to make men suits very wide. I stole it from my mother the last time I went to Panama.
