Happy Friday! When I first started reading sewing blogs, I kept running into the acronym “UFO” and puzzled over that. Those of you in the know are aware that it stands for “unfinished object” and has nothing to do with extraterrestrials. Until these last few weeks, I’ve rarely had UFOs. It drives me nuts to have half-done projects lying around so if I get as far as cutting out a pattern, I will do everything I can to finish it within the day.<\/p>\n

However. With multiple exciting events occurring simultaneously, I’ve had not one or two or three…but six<\/em> UFOs hovering reproachfully in the vicinity. I don’t know why I decided to cut out a bunch of the same patterns assembly line style, and\u00a0clearly, this is not doing good things for my peace of mind. Luckily, in between various to-do items, I managed to complete this quintessentially Japanese linen dress this week. It’s a size 90cm from this book<\/a>\"\", and my friend’s little girl is going to look smashing in it. I’m afraid I wasn’t too imaginative and used a striped linen similar to the one in the book, but you can never go wrong with grey stripes, I say.<\/p>\n

One down, five to go. It’s progress, at any rate, and I already feel much, much better!<\/p>\n

I’ve recently discovered that K has been reading this blog (she cried when she read this post<\/a> and rushed over to give me a soggy hug). I’ve now been instructed that all K quotes must go through a stringent editorial process, and I’m not allowed to post anything without her approval. The editor-in-chief is out of commission on a playdate so we’ll have to skip a quote this week.<\/p>\n

Have a fabulous weekend, friends! It feels like the peak of summer these days here in Seattle, and I’m soaking in all the vitamin D (the doctor tells me I’m deficient, but then again, all Pacific Northwesterners are probably vitamin D deficient).<\/p>\n

It’s the end of May<\/em>
\nGetting giddy about June<\/em>
\nSummer is coming<\/em><\/p>\n

P.S. The She Wears The Pants Giveaway<\/a> winners were Claire R. and Pola, congrats!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
