Not in keeping with my goals, but in keeping with the time I’ve left myself (gallivanted to NC, & stayed an extra day, instead of sewing, LOL), the first make of the year is a dress! I fell in love with the lace fabric
and finally found an excuse to actually get it and make it into something. I had planned a different pattern for the office party January 9th, but while in NC decided to buy the lace, and a coordinating poly shantung, and cut it all out while I was there.
(Remind me later to tell y’all about Mingo’s totally-but-unexpectedly-her-dress-to-be! We picked up fabric for that too!)
Once I got back, I cut lining pieces and started sewing. So far, so good.
To be continued. The party is Thursday! 
The party is less than 24 hours away and she’s holed up with her sewing machine, sewing like a madwoman. I’ve been able to see as it comes together and it’s looking good.
