What's Jeannie Doing??

I am into the final stages of getting my new take me home/baby's first daygown printed.
Well, in the first stage of the final stages!

I meant to take a picture of the totally cleaned off table.  It was amazing!!  But I got too excited and started right away with finishing this pattern!

These are some of the daygowns from my Summer of Daygowns.  The Daygowns for this pattern.

I need them out to look at them as I work.

First, I had to decide which three views would go in the pattern!

This was hard for me because I like all of them.
I have to be practical. 

And I decided that one of the selected views needed to be a tad bit revised.

I re-drew it and now I am making another Daygown with the revised design.
There is no other way to know if it will be exactly what I want.

I love my work!
(but it is still work)

Jeannie...what a wonderful peek into the work/world of sewing! I specially love the basket on the table...it is always so good to know I am not alone in 'plastic baskets'. Please put my shop on first delivery!!

Another "blue" pattern, how exciting. Still wishing and hoping to see Emma's dress sized up. When I get back I need to figure out how to do that. Congrats on a new pattern. Sweet sweet daygowns.

Like Martha another blue pattern!! I coined them that after we took the class in nashville when I had to buy the pattern in the blue paper... even though I had one.

Oh, I am excited! I hope it is finished and available for my new arrival in late January! If you need someone to test it out, I will volunteer! I can't wait to see it finished! Thanks for the peek into what you are doing.
