Projects on the horizon

Lounge Wear Part 1: I was inspired by some great fabric finds at Mill End Textiles to make and remake some summer lounge wear. I have been looking for just the right fabric for this Kimono Bathrobe pattern taken from this great Amy Butler pattern book. I will use the peach floral for that with the dragonflies as an accent. The blue will be for drawstring pants taken from the same pattern book.
Lounge Wear Part 2:
I am also making over this top using this lovely dragonfly print as an accent fabric. The original trim is a lovely silk ribbon, but it hasn't worn well and has become frayed. While I have this top taken apart I have also taken the opportunity to make a pattern so I can copy it and possibly use it as a base for other patterns. I will also be making a pair of pants out of this peach. I have a feeling these are going to be great clothes for project nights!
