Between ruining my waistband on my pants and finally fixing it - I was sew restless! So, what did I do - bought some Moda by United Notions (5.49 yard) dishtowel fabric from a local store and made gifts!
I also made two pillowcases (no pictures but similar to previous pillowcases). . .one tool bag for knitting (a later post), blind-hemmed suit pants (super easy with my blind hemming foot) and tailored an anthropologies dress to fit better (lots of ripping).
This will probably be my last bit of winter sewing - and after this - I'm onto the Spring? Has anyone ventured into Spring sewing yet?

I had no idea you could buy teatowel fabric - have never seen it in Australia!
I didn't know that either! Was knitting them not fast enough for you? Ha! I'm still trying to finish my winter sweater - haven't started on the other sleeve. I guess that'll wait till next year to get worn. Congrats on having the kohones to do a tailoring sew-along!
I have to go to that fabric store this afternoon - I'll find out who makes them - they had quite a few different ones to chose from .. ..I was surprised as well! A lot more cost effective I must admit.
Yes, I'm getting out of the winter sewing mode. BTW, I may be derailed - my kelly green wool fabric may not be enough to participate in the sew-along - I only have 1 yard and 3/4. Darn it. So, I'd like to do it but don't want to invest in more fabric right now for a jacket that will only be worn a month or two . . . I have to think about it - there is some extremely beautiful wool fabric (light blue boucle) that Mood has - but it's 35-49 dollars a yard. . . I have to think about it.
Yes, Judith - I'm glad you asked - it's Moda Fabrics by United Notions - and the towel fabric available online widely. I'll amend my post!
