Sew Along - The fabric is here!

So my fabric has come in for the sew along and I am so excited!  I got a few options for the men's shirt:


Both are 100% cotton shirting.  I think I'm going to start with the check print since the pattern is for more of a casual shirt - thoughts?

For the 40's swing dress, I chose this super pretty rayon challis -


I also picked up some cotton lawn fabric but I think I'm going to save it for some light summer blouses.

(The one on the right is more of a lime green 
but it doesn't seem to photograph that well!)


I am starting the muslin for the swing dress this week so I will have an update next Monday.

Sorry for the short post today but I am hosting a dinner party tonight - more on that (and my outfit!) tomorrow! :)

Happy Monday everyone!

    I cannot wait to see these projects take shape. I wish I didn't have regular fights with my sewing machine. We get pretty physical from time to time. And the verbal abuse, forget about it...

    Thanks for your sweet comment! I was so excited to be featured on Collette's Twitter Tuesday!

    xoxo,
