My first sewing projects after Christmas





I brought a boxful of "Make it Easy". A collection that was collect weekly in 1980 to 1982 for just $5. Some very nice and basic patterns which are included in each issue. :) Also some very retro patterns too. lol. Not sure if the sizes are bigger then back then to what they are now, so just going to make up one and see. My brother is having a new baby in January so I will be making them a summer romper and matching jacket. Will find out next week what they are having so will be able to look around to see what fabric I would like it. Spotlight here I come.

After that I am going to have a go at make this simple summer dress for Willow.
