birthday sewing

Roxanne's birthday is coming up soon, and so we did some birthday sewing for her. When I called her this morning, and said I was ready to pack up the car, I mentioned that I had gotten a pattern I thought she would like to use to make some shells. We have been talking about making some for her off and on, and we she has some fabric that would be perfect. Mind you, we have a serious stack of things ready to sew up, without the cutting, etc, but, none of the shell tops.

When I got there, she got out the shell fabric (flowers, flowers, flowers) and I showed her the pattern. Well, what a success! She liked one of the other patterns I had gotten as well, and waved some fabric at me for that one as well. All in all, I cut out 3 tops. Roxanne sewed one up completely (OK, I did a little stitch work, but not much, and the handwork) another one is almost completed, and then the third will be in the queue.

Back to the boys, next week, I guess...

Is it an easy pattern? I do so love shells! If it's easy, I might ask for a copy. . .

It was very easy, sleeveless with some neckline variations and even darts for shaping. Butterick.
