Switching Gears - Another Project

Yeah, I am switching gears. I was suppose to be working on the Vogue 8499 skirt, but have stopped short of shortening the pattern pieces. I have to shorten the overall skirt by 2 inches. I am toying with the idea of shortening 1 inch above the pocket and then 1 inch in the pocket area. So, as I contemplate that idea and put the Vogue pattern aside for now...I need a sewing project that will give me a quick sewing buzz.

I have already selected another pattern for the new/next project. I have traced the pattern and cut out the fabric. Here's the fabric I am using, a really nice blue/white lightweight cotton. Trust me, there is no black in this fabric. (Has anyone noticed how much black (or combo) fabric I have been using lately?) This is all blue and white colors. I am not sure if I could call this fabric a cotton voile or lawn...it feels like it's in between.

So, I hope to get this project sewn today. Can't wait to hear the hum of my sewing machine.

Oh, did I forget to mention what pattern I am working on today? It will be a surprise.
