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! 🙂
