Along with all the seersucker and Easter pieces I’m shipping to my customers, I’ve got 2 other projects on the cutting table right now.

1.  Pants for the boy.  He hates zippers.  But…he’s almost 8!  For his birthday, I’ve decided to make 2 pair of slacks with a fake fly front and an elastic waistband.  I’m making a (hopefully wearable) muslin out of a random piece of gray.  If it works well, then I’ll make a second pair out of a pale-blue/gray pinstripe.

2.  A dress for the girl.  She doesn’t often get excited about fabric at the store, so when she does I grab it.  This piece is crazy!

There is so much going on in this one piece of fabric.  Neither one of us liked the border of the fabric, so I kept that in mind when looking for a pattern.  I choose Simpilicity 1815.  It’s a cute little sundress and I’ve cut it so that the pleated top will be mostly pink, changing to white at the waist and then the hem will feature large pink/orange/black print.

That’s what’s on my cutting table.  What projects are you working on?
