Two projects on hold for me: (among others.... I think I have a nice pile of unfinished work?)
I got out of school this past month and went "oh my gosh- work- NOW!" I've been putting so much on hold for a little bit.
First, I started a knit dress. No pattern, but relatively based off of the cream top in Twins from Knitty. It's being made with a salmon colored Sugar and Cream Cotton yarn. If you look at the pattern, its a top-up design, so I've started a flat front with a back seam that decreases about waist length with an open back and halter. We'll see how that goes. No pattern, wish me luck.
Second, I've started on a patchwork purse. Based on a pattern I saw at a small fabric shop a couple weeks ago, it is essentially triangles cut to make a zig-zag pattern.
I used some very earthy blue and green tones, left over from a quilt I finished a while back. Essentially 5x5 squares, cut diagonally, and arranged. The bag should lengthwise be roughly 14.5in, by about 20(ish)in, and I'll finish with a lining. Planning to make several others with similar color schemes from my nice messy bin of fabric scraps :)
