Her Nana sure hated to leave her behind! Please don't take offence at the "Yankees Suck" T-shirt. It was a joke from my son to my husband who is a die hard Yankees fan.
While in Ottawa, I didn't get to visit C&M Textiles like I had planned but I did get to Fabricland where there was a $5.99 sale on Vogue patterns. I picked up this lovely to make for my son's wedding in August.
I intend to use a raspberry silk dupionni for it. I'm also hoping to make a little jacket of some sort so my arms will be covered for photos.
Here are the other patterns I picked up.
I want to make a sleeveless dress out of this one. Has anyone else made this?Are there any glitches?
This will be for the fall probably but I don't know which fabric from my stash I'll use.
As for this Marci Tilton, I thought it would be a nice basic pattern to have on hand.
I had hoped,while I was in Ottawa, to get some photos of Tamara wearing some of the pieces I made her this winter, but the baby got in the way of that.
Now I have to catch up on my favorite blogs. I hope you've had time to sew this week.

Riley is a cutie. Fantastic dress pattern for the wedding.
Ah she has such an adorable face.
You picked some very nice patterns. I have the Sandra Betzina one but haven't made it yet, story of my life lately :))))
Riley is so gorgeous. No wonder you didn't get any sewing related stuff done!
I like the patterns you have picked. I'll be interested to see how the Sandra Betzina one turns out. She has some interesting ideas, not always to my taste ... lol
I think the rapsberry silk duponi will look stunning in the pattern you've chosen.
I love the dress pattern. I'd like to make this with sleeves added as a day dress.
Riley is adorable!!! That pattern will be lovely for a wedding!
Love that proposed wedding pattern. And Riley is soooo cute.
I can't resist a adorable baby shot!! I have the Marcy Tilton pattern- picked it up at the sale last week too. I'll be interested in seeing what you do with it!
Oh, you don't sound at all like a grandma! Ha! Isn't it the absolute best?
Diana, I am SO looking forward to seeing that Kay Unger dress all stitched up. A little shrug or trapeze jacket with no collar would look fabulous. Or you could make a wrap with a coordinating print...
Your little Riley is a treasure!! Congratulations, she is beautiful.
Diana,
Check out this picture.
It's a little bolero jacket that would be perfect!
Diana,
