I have been really thinking recently about doing some sewing. I just have to disconnect myself from the keyboard long enough to do it. lol That’s awesome!

I almost bought a Simplicity pattern like the Burda Maria skirt you mentioned, but since I was at Hobby Lobby, $8 seemed like a lot (especially since Joann's is having a 1.99 Simplicity pattern sale this weekend). I'm also loving the pink frock top in the upper left corner. This is a wonderful tidbit, and a bit more extra inspiration that I need. Too bad I have barely enough for the dress I want to make, otherwise I'd be glad to part with some of my pink lame that I got on sale for $1.20 a yard last Christmas! Tricia,
