July 4th Parade

How fun it was to be there in our nation's capitol to see the parade. We were in a great spot towards the end of the parade under the shade of a great big tree.
There was so much beautiful color, energetic music, and cultural displays to watch.

DI Update

Image
I found this jacket/shirt at DI for $4.00. It was a good blue color and the fabric was like a suede. So I did what my daughter taught me to do...I cut off the collar! Now it is a mandarin style neckline and will go better when I put it on over my other shirts. Kinda fun and I didn't worry about ruining it since it only cost $4! Try updating your shirts!

I was bummed about spending that much but as I laid out the pattern pieces I realized it would make two. This is what I came up with. It actually looks different from the pattern because I made some changes. I have been using a green diaper bag as a purse because I liked all the pockets! Sewing knowledge comes in handy once in a while. It will do for now until I can afford a Vera. . .
