Next will be Butterick 5283 View B I have a dark forest green stretch knit that I plan to coordinate with the jacket from McCalls 5398. I apologize that there's no picture for 5398 but I kept getting an error when I tried to upload it. It's just a short shrug type jacket and it's breaking one of the fashion rules I set for myself, which is at my age I shouldn't buy a half of nothing this is why I have avoided the half jackets and shrugs for as long as I have but this one really got my attention and rules are meant to be broken lol.
And lastly I will make Butterick 5254 view C out of a hot pink fleece that was
purchased with the gift card. The jacket is lined, at first I was going to omit the lining but then I ran across this white with pink polka dot fabric that I’ve had so long I can’ remember when I purchase it but the label was still attached. I’m thinking this was probably a yard sale find and this definitely will help add some color to my wardrobe.

I don't know if you can read it but it says 6 yds no flaws for $3.00.
Well there you have it my first sewing projects for 2009, wish me luck I would hate to get off to a bad start.
I wore the jacket the other day, here are some pictures. I really like the jacket but I hate the convoluted Butterick top it just didn't work with the jacket and will probably go to the goodwill. I resorted to the standard black turtleneck.
The Christmas tree and all the other holiday decorations are finally down. Every year I put up my “Happy New Year” sign and print out the year and make everyone that comes over take a picture under it wearing a party hat. My kids hate it but the hat is not optional.
My Grandson is the only one who still thinks this is fun lol. He's wearing one of the 6 pairs of pj's that he received for Christmas, he is pj crazy.
I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year's. Every year I make resolutions mostly just to be a better person, attend church more regularly, save money etc, but I don't think I'm going to do that this year, just going to take life one day at a time and try to work on all the things I've promised myself and God throughout the year.
Be Safe and Be Well
