While at my Mother's this week, I noticed one of the Caregivers had one of the new 31 Suite Skirt Purses. I've had a few requests for a pattern for that purse via visitors that visit my Skirt Purse Free Pattern site. So I drafted a pattern from her purse using the only paper I had available, newspaper. Reminded me of the old days when my Grandmother, Mother and eventually me in the early sewing days, used newspaper to make our own patterns.
Finally, today I got around to using one of my Dad's old night shirts to cut out and sew it together (yes, I brought my little machine with me.) The sides and bottom are oddly shaped and very hard to put together because it involves right corners. I have to study on this a bit to make a much easier design that will fit. I also have to wait for the Caregiver to return with her purse for a fitting.
Please be patient with me, and know why I don't publish on a regular basis.
