We have had a busy weekend here. Friday night, the children were invited to a birthday party so since they were gone from 6.00 till 8.00, Steve and I went out for tea. We went to the Golden Pearl Chinese Restaurant. I had garlic prawn, Steve had beef curry and we shared a large special fried rice. The food was great and we enjoyed our time alone.
Saturday, I took Madeline, Brigette and Tom to Whyalla to get fabric for Tom's confirmation. I will post photos when all the sewing is done. For now, I have the patterns to share that I will be making for Tom and I.
Tom's shirt: Kwik sew 2974. I have a red, white and black check and we will do the long sleeve one.
Tom's pants: Kwik sew 2544. I have black corduroy for this. I will do view b.
Tom's jacket: Kwik sew 3136. This will also be done in black corduroy.
My dress: kwik sew 3559. I will make it a bit longer than they have it in this though. I have white velvet for it :
Today I have been busy getting patterns traced ready for cutting out. I have two weeks to get these all done.
I also bought fabric to make Christopher and Joseph shirts but I really doubt I will be able to get them done by Tom's confirmation. Maybe by the end of June I can have theirs done.
I hope you all had a great weekend.
Therese.

Wow! You're a fast sewer, Therese - looking forward to seeing the photos:-)
I've just tagged you for the HEEE HEEE Meme. I hope you are able to join in (don't worry if you can't - I can see that you have a busy couple of weeks ahead). It should be fun.
God bless, Therese :-)
You are such a wonderful seamstress! I am sure he will look very dashing!
Your dress pattern look like the dress made from it will be very comfortable. Sounds like you had a lovely date! Have a grand week! Cathy
Don't you just love it when kids get invited to birthday parties? Lol. Good luck with your sewing projects. The dress pattern is pretty!
Hi Vicky,
Thanks for the tag Vicky but I suspect I am a bit like you. You know, being one of the serious members of the unruly group of bloggers lol.
Deanne,
Thanks for the compliment. I really hope he looks great.
Cathy,
I love velvet.So comfortable to wear and warm. Since it is winter here, I will need the warm.
Mary,
We do love birthday parties when children are invited and we just have to drop them off and pick them up. Steve and I actually manage to get out quite a bit on our own though having older teenagers to look after our younger ones. This is one of the perks of having a large family.
Happy sewing! I hope you get lots done :)
