In addition, I have been busy at work making lingerie thanks to Sigrid ! Everyone has been very busy with their bras in the Bra Sew Along. My bra is almost finished--just waiting for the straps. It's a "wearable muslin" and I'm going to make the exact same bra again out of the same material. I'll write more about that when I'm finished and why I'm doing that. But a sneak preview is in order. Here are the cups on my dressform a few days ago to give you the idea of what it's going to look like. I'm using Elan B540 purchased from SewSassy.
Before working on the bra, I made my first pair of panties. Again, I'll write more about that, too, when my matching bra and panty set is complete.
Also, today was a really crazy day! I went to the school to drop off my oldest daughter for her run, went to the gym, then the gas station, the grocery store, home to see my daughter off for a tournament, lunch, pick up other daughter, back to the gym, home to housecleaning and by 1 p.m. I decided I wanted to make a quick denim skirt. One of those times when the sewing lightning bolt hit me hard. From cut out to finish it was about 1 1/2 hours. Then back to the gym, post office, home for dinner, out to one baseball practice, head to the other baseball practice, video store, then home for relaxation. Whew!Anyway, here's my quickie skirt which I made from my self-drafted skirt pattern. Just simple, quick, pull-on with an elastic waist. Perfect for cool summer tops. So sorry--it's a little wrinkly as it's the end of the day and already worn for several hours.
That's it for my day. I'm hoping to check out blog posts via Bloglines but am scared to do it! I bet there's a ton of posts that I'm backlogged in reading. Does anyone else get busy and then dread how backlogged they are? I desparately want to catch up but feel like I'll be just keeping my head above the water until I actually start reading them. Maybe a little tonight, but definitely tomorrow night and Sunday morning!
Enjoy your weekend everyone! Hope you get a lot of sewing accomplished.

Very pretty lin gerie! I got way behind reading bloglines too - up to about 900 odd posts. It took me ages to go through them and I admit I didn't post comments, just skimmed through them all. Good luck!
Cute lingerie set! I never considered making underwear. I've read a couple posts on other blogs about bras, etc. But now you've inspired me to look into making my own.
Wow! You have been busy! I am in awe that you even got in 1-1/2 hours of sewing time. Bravo! Glad to see a post from you. :)
Whooo Whooo!! That is a beautiful set! And you can't go wrong with a basic skirt!
Pretty lingerie. I have yet to make a bra. Hmmm..., you are an enabler. lol Kat, very pretty and I look forward to the complete review and project.
