RAK WINNER FROM YESTERDAY IS....
Can you see who is in the NUMBER ONE SPOT? Send me your snail mail addy! You can click the picture to make it bigger! Congrats and look for another one soon!!!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA man!!!
This used to be the JAM! Well it is STILL in rotation lol.
Now on to some sewing stuff lol.
I am on the clock to get a few things made. I put a little widget under my profile pic so I can hopefully meet my goal. If not..oh well. It is JUST a goal. I will NOT rush lol. Rushing and sewing is NOT good lol.
McCall's 5241 I need something to throw over my arms just in case I get COOL and not cold. I will use this eyelet type sweater knit that I got from Hancock. I've had this for a while. Finished January 26, 2009
Butterick 5247 I swear this is one of my FAVORITE patterns!! This time I am going to make the dress version using this lovely bamboo knit I picked up from Gail K last summer. Finished January 23, 2009
Have you noticed I'm STILL sewing from my stash!?!? lol
Vogue 8379 Good ole Vogue 8379! I think I've made this 3 times? I LOVE this dress and it really is a TNT pattern! This is a jersey I picked up from my trip to North Carolina last November. FINISHED FEBRUARY 4, 2009
Vogue 8390 View B.I wanted to do something fun with this top. I didn't want to go with a solid and since spring really is JUST around the corner I want to use this fun knit. I can NOT remember where I got this from lol. Finished January 24, 2009
Vogue 8291 I LOVE view A of this shirt. Just a simple tunic but I'm torn on the fabric. I don't know if I should use this yellow, that I picked up in Nashville OR this one...
I got this one from Hancock and it's like this purple-ish color with gold undertones. I think it is really pretty. What do you think? Which one?? I can't decide.
Vogue 8558 One can never have enough casual tops. I am really liking view A but since it IS still January I will be making view B. FINISHED FEBRUARY 7, 2009
Vogue 8565 At first glance this looked really maternity-ish. But upon closer inspection...I can jazz this up. I think this will be a great "car ride" or run out and grab the kids outfit. Comfy but still cute. I don't know bout y'all and y'all KNOW how I feel about sweats! I am only going to make the top from this one and wear the pants below with it. DISASTER!! LOL Thrown away February 7, 2009
McCall's 5819 I didn't even notice this pattern until made it. Too cute!!! I was going to make mine in coral but ummm lol Imma do mine in black. I am gonna make the pants in black too and wear them with the above pattern lol. FINISHED February 8, 2009
LAST but NOT least....
Vogue 1099 I have LOVED this jacket since the moment I laid eyes on it. My problem!?!? Hancock didn't have the patterns when they were on sale. This one WILL be made in white pique "IF" it gets to me on time lol. I do believe it will lol. :-)
I think I can do it. These are all pretty easy and straight forward patterns and all my patterns and fabric are cut out EXCEPT the last vogue one...I am stalking my mail main DAILY! LOL
Ok...guess I need to get sewing!!
Toodles!
Great picks. I love that last Vogue jacket.

I was preppin' and doing the reebok the entire time I read this post, LOL! You took me back with that one. Can't wait to see your finished projects, they always inspire me.
Posted by: KeeKee | January 23, 2009 at 08:10 PM
Yellow for the tunic! So does this mean you still haven't bought any fabric in 2009?
Nancy :)
Posted by: nancy winn | January 23, 2009 at 09:11 PM
Great song, fabulous patterns/fabrics, and I hope you don't mind, but I nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger award.
Mmmmwah!
Posted by: Gorgeous Things | January 23, 2009 at 09:51 PM
Those patters are soo cute! Maybe I can get my sewing mojo going again! It always seems to disappear completely when it gets cold out!
Posted by: Michelle | January 24, 2009 at 09:16 AM
Oooh, projects! I love it. Waiting to see the finished pieces.
Posted by: carlitadee | January 24, 2009 at 09:59 PM
I nominated you for the Kreativ Blogger award. Faye nominated me, you're supposed to post the award, nominate 7 other blogs and post a message on those blogs. Happy Sewing, can't wait to see your FOs.
Posted by: Tanya | January 24, 2009 at 10:13 PM
I love the fabrics you've chosen. Especially the yellow. I can't wait to see the finished garments.
Posted by: Flora | January 25, 2009 at 12:34 PM
You kill me and now I have opened my sewing machine and will attempt that Vogue 8558 pattern...WHY did the cost go up for me at size 16? That is SO unfair!!!
Posted by: Gina | January 25, 2009 at 02:46 PM
*cries inconsolably because I didn't win*
You didn't choose the itty bitty shorts? :o(
I was thinking of adding that song to my blog's playlist. For the moment I only added Beepers but Posse On Broadway is classic!
Posted by: Freaky Deaky | January 26, 2009 at 09:39 AM
Thank you for stopping by my blog. Wao, you got lots of vogue going on there, I just made my first vogue, and with all those your picks, I have been inspired to try the V8379 out. I will see how I will do with it. You are such an inspiration.
