what the hell, it's march, or i want to sew some clothes!

so, those converse mary janes i was freaking out about? i won the ebay auction last night. yea!!!!!!!!!!! now i can stop wringing my hands about it and continue on with my life.

excecpt.............
now i want to sew some shirts.
here is a gallery i made on flickr of some awesome looking shirts/dresses. i wish there was some way of embedding the gallery on here but whatever.
here are the patterns that i am thinking about

simplicity 2922 here is a picture of a top that is amazing

built by wendy simplicity 3692

i have convinced myself that i NEED to have this in some form of stripes and then my life will be perfect. striped grey/white or black/white or navy/white or grey with thin navy stripes............

and also built by wendy simplicity 3835
i sewed this shirt way back when boo boo was a teeny beebee. like around 2 months old or something, which seems crazy now. not sure how i managed to find time for sewing a shirt, except that it was pretty fast and easy. and also, boo boo wasn't old enough to climb on the table.
anyway, i like this shirt and wear it often but the fabric texture grosses me out (not cotton) and so i'd like to make more.
MORE MORE MORE!!!

i like how the pattern and the fabric hide wrinkles and my sloppy sewing job.

esmond is taking is nap early which is great, except the girl upstairs moved out and they are doing something upstairs that is LOUD and i'm just waiting for boopers to wake up. he did a minute ago and managed to go back to sleep even with their hammering and dropping of loud i-don't-know-whats on the ground. i cranked up the air purifier and maybe that will help. WHO KNOWS.

i'm contemplating taking esmond on a bus ride after nap and lunch to the fabric store. he's been a pain to get into his carseat lately and he loves the bus. so we'll see!
