The Auriaya project commences. That's not the best picture to show it, but the colors I've picked out are really pretty. I found a trim at the fabric store that is absolutely perfetto for edging the skirt and even to make the neck piece out of.
I've chosen Simplicity Pattern Jessica McClintock 2400. I'm going to use view B. It has the sweetheart neckline and simple lines that I want for the dress and I should be able to alter the skirt easily.
I also bought the book SEW: Sew Everything Workshop by Rupp, as recommended by the notoriously vintage Gertie. I'm really looking forward to getting into it! There are a lot of things I need to learn about working with patterns before I even think of touching this fabric.
Note to self: Buy pinking shears! I keep forgetting.
Let the sewing- Err, learning, COMMENCE!
