gifts for the sis

I made napkins and place mats for my sister's birthday with the fabric I bought at Sewfisticated the other day. Beige and white seersucker for the napkins, flowers for the place mats with blue-green stripy backs.



Every time I work with nice cotton I think, damn, nice cotton is really nice. The floral print came from the quilting section but turned out to be much more of a lawn, and the leftovers may end up as a skirt in the near future. The stripy stuff is nice and lightweight, and I have enough left to use to line a skirt or dress. I'm pretty much out of the seersucker, but when I was cutting it I kept thinking, "Mm, seersucker shirtdress." Though not until I've gotten through a good bit of my fabric stash. Which means, probably, next summer.
