Catch up on sewing

I've been participating in the "2013: Style the Stash" effort, and seem to be combining that with an effort to use more patterns I already have, focussing on the Tilton sister's patterns.  here are some recent examples:

This is Vogue 8813, by Marcy Tilton.  Love this green linen, which I bought last year at a  quilting store in Oregon. Elegant, cool and comfy.

This is Butterick 5881, a recent dress pattern by Katherine Tilton.  The blue linen was purchased last summer here in SLC:  I imagined myself making all kinds of linen skirts at the time... a lot of my stash seems to come from imaginary projects ;)

And this is Vogue 8876, a M Tilton dress.  Love this one, a flowered cotton that is probably 4-5 years old. I made this one before I really grasped my personal sizing issues with these patterns, so it's a bit big on top. I've been wearing it with a tee shirt, and it looks great!

A new shirt/blouse is also in the works.....
