Every fall for as long as I can remember I have wondered (an worried) what would hold my interest during the long winter months. My sewing has always been there, but I usually need something new to spark my creativity. Last year it was putting together 60's patchwork quilts, making purses and FINALLY making a couple of pairs of jeans.
This fall I think that I may be off to a good start. I just earned a free 6-month subscription from e-rewards to WWD...Woman's Wear Daily. For 26 weeks I will be able to see the latest and the greatest from the world of fashion...5 days a week! Just long enough to take me into the Spring.

My Fortunate Fabric Finds
Sometimes I get so lucky buying fabric.
Yesterday I found two pieces of stretch denim each large enough to make a pair of jeans....for only $3.74 each! I couldn't believe it. Also, I found navy blue knit to make a "Three Graces T-Shirt" and a piece of see-through fabric with irredescent plastic squares on it instead of sequins. Very unusual. Not sure what I am going to do with it yet......it would make a flashy dress-up jacket or be beautiful hanging behind the Christmas tree.

Goodbye Summer
Today may be the last time that I will be able to use my porch.
The temperature is going to be in the 70's and I plan to go out there to read. Soon I will be packing up everything for the winter. I will miss my magical 60's room.
