Ramblings
It's been so busy this week that it seems like I have a ton of things on my mind - mostly lots of inspiration!
First off, I received two of Amy Butler's new patterns - the Gumdrop Pillows and Feather Your Nest. After spending some time looking through them, I've decided what to do with my (future) sewing room - Lotus.... The Tea Box colorway is perfect for some of the existing fixtures and artwork for that room. I plan on making some machine covers, a few organizational projects from Amy In Stitches
While we're on the subject of Amy Butler - did you know she has a new book coming out in October? Amy Butler's Midwest Modern: A Fresh Design Spirit for the Modern Lifestyle
Also on my wishlist.... New Jalie patterns! Aside from their skate\dancewear collections, they've come out with two top patterns - their version of a twist top (not only does it come in children's to adult sizes, but also maternity, and a choice of modesty panel, sleeve options, and optional flounce!) and a Criss Cross Top (not pictured).
I'm back into salvaging my aging t-shirts.... I've ordered Save This Shirt: Cut It. Stitch It. Wear It Now!
I don't plan on sewing this up, but this Big Breakfast set is too cute to not to check out! [link via decor8]
The new Knitty is up!
My Patrones Joven arrived yesterday - I wish I had more time to sew, I could make this entire magazine!

I love all the Amy Butler things. Your room will be fabulous. I can't wait for the new fabric line to show up somewhere.
I looked at the bend the rules book at Borders today. I ddn't get it because I didn't have enough time to really check it oout and at first glance it looked like a learn to sew book so I'll be interested to here a review on it when you get it. Hopefully I'll have more time next time I am at borders so I can actually look at it too.

Thanks for the link to the new Amy Butler fabrics. I think my favorite pattern is "wood fern." There's a McCall's skirt I'm going to make with than one and one other print.
