I also want to get back to my SWAP and here are the patterns and fabric for my next project. I am hoping to have it done before I leave for a short five day trip, this Thursday, to the mainland to visit family and a couple of dear friends. I haven't left Hawaii for 2 1/2 years and I am so excited to see everyone. I will also enjoy a day of fabric shopping in my old hometown of Portland, OR. I can't wait!
I also wanted to share with you some Vogue patterns I bought recently through an online sale. There are no fabric stores which carry Vogue here. So sad. My last success with Vogue has certainly motivated me to try more. When I leave for the mainland, I will bring fabric measurements for several of these as I browse the fabric stores. I will be excited to share with you what I find when I get back. Of the seven, my two favorites are the Cynthia Steffe dress (V1151) and the Donna Karan (View B) tunic and narrow slacks (V2064). I don't know if any of these are new for the season, but these are the ones that spoke to me when I searched the sale.
I've enjoyed seeing what many of you are excited about this fall with regards to patterns and fabric. I think it will be an exciting and always inspiring sewing blog season!

Wow! It looks like you have a long flight ahead of you, if your coming from HI!
I like your pattern selections, sometime it's the older patterns that speak the most. I can't wait to see what you do with them!

Have fun in Ptld. I wish I could join you. Let's see - Mill End, Fabric Depot. Oh, Rose City Textiles - have you been there? Great activewear and be sure to check their back room.
Have fun!
Hi Gals, I always look forward to the 5 1/2 hour flight to OR. I never get that much uninterrupted reading time at home and I LOVE it on the plane (although I've been known to chat with my seat neighbor on a couple of my trips in the past and that's always interesting too.) I've already got my book! I am definitely hitting Mill End, one of my favorite fabric stores. I really like RCT too, and wonder if Annette and her tiny dog are still there? But I don't think I will make it out there this trip. Fabric Depot and one in NW Portland are on my list, (Josephine's?). We'll see how much I can squeeze in. I would love to meet you Home's Jewels if it works out for you to go next Monday!
Oh, have a good trip! my mom grew up in Portland OR ... I can imagine how eager you are to go after 2 1/2 years. I like your comment on enjoying the flight for the uninterrupted time - I can sure identify with that!
