Are you getting ready to do some Christmas sewing? I’m going to be making some pretty things for the gals and myself to wear. Ball skirts for Cate and me, and little dresses for Carrie and Sophie. I might even do matching waistcoats for all the boys. I’m LOVING the Princess Mary tartan above, which is normally $65/yd. I managed to find it for $14.75 (!!!). It’s a gorgeous crispy silk dupioni - one of my favourite fabrics to work with.
If you like a bargain, too, come on along to the Simple Gifts Email List. The Princess Mary Tartan and several other beautiful silk dupionis and cotton velvets are available on the current co-op order. Co-op prices are at least HALF off regular prices! Get your sewing machine tuned up - you’re going to be busy.
