Works in Progress

I'm chugging along on about five different projects simultaneously right now, getting ready for Spring Top Week plus Mr Rae and I are going to ITALY (!!!) in a couple of days...have I started packing? No. Do I keep cutting new spring tops? Yes. Do I have a travel purse/bag to take along to Italy? No. Do I keep obsessing about sewing one even though I have no time? Yes. Why am I even blogging right now? I don't know. Ack!

Anyway, I am so excited about this trip I could squeal. We'll be back in about a week and a half (btw if you want a Toddler Backpack pattern before I go you have Friday to get one). Here are some bits of WIPs to keep you busy guessing in the meantime:

: : a little zig, a little zag : :

: : a pleated pocket : :

: : more pleats and a ruffle : :

: : midwest modern and some vintagey flowers : : hrrmm...there's a lot of pink in this post!

: : and one last little WIP, due to be completed this summer : :

That's going to make Spring Top Week a bit more interesting, isn't it?
