So along with sewing a dress for Angela & Thomas's wedding, I'm going to work at finishing up and making a few other projects for myself. And perfect timing Made by Rae posted her "Spring Top Sewalong" for 2012 today!
I've been following her blog for a while now and have read and voted the last few years in the Spring Top sewalong - and although I thought about entering last year I never did. This year I fully intend on finishing and entering a top.
In fact you can submit something that you have previously started but not finished. Rules are you must have finished your top after March 1st 2012. (no issues here, since its totally not finished)
I'm going to finish up (my almost started) Shearwater Kaftan summer top. I fell in love with this pattern last year and searched for the perfect fabric. Finding this great pale grey stone gauze fabric from etsy seller UniqueShiny.

But to date I've only got as far as cutting out all the pieces and sewing the the hem around the neck. Time to pull it out and finish it. And I really have been wanting to finish this for a while now. In fact I had originally planned to finish it last year in time for Rhett's First birthday and Steph's baby shower which were both towards the end of last summer. I always have such ambitious plans that never come to fruition.
But this is the time. Maybe I'll even go and get started right now. You can start uploading pics for the Spring Top sewalong as early as Monday. And there is a contest portion, although you don't have to be part of that you can just sew a top for the fun of it if you want! Check out the site if your interested - I've posted a button with the link on my sidebar!
