I drew a top yesterday that I really want to make out of leftover fabric from my 2nd dress (which is still in the works - the 1st and 3rd were completed nicely but the 2nd is giving me trouble).
It's not an inspired design, I saw something like it on Craftster.com, but it would make such a cute summer top to pair with black pants or capris. So I'm going to make it.
Sketched it out last night and figured out what pattern pieces I need so now I just need to cut the fabric and start sewing. Should take me about an hour and a half.
Pattern-making is really fun for me. It's like a puzzle. You make a design and then figure out where pieces should be and what shape they are and how big they should be and it's challenging sometimes (the back piece is always smaller than I think it is), but very rewarding when you can say you made your own pattern.
Anyway...that's what's been occupying my brain for the last day or so. :P
