Today I'm going to start work on my "Sailor Dress." I call it that because I'm going to make it with nautical colours [navy, white, and red] and I will be wearing it on the Disney cruise we hope to take for our anniversary! [Disney cast members get special deals on "space-available" tickets for the cruises - that means that we have to wait until closer to the sail date to see what kind of rooms they have left.]

I will be using this pattern [the one on the right]:

It's going to look like the navy picture, with navy cotton fabric, white cotton trim, and red and white striped lining! I'm going to get red anchor buttons and maybe even an anchor patch!

So, here I go! I'm off to cut the paper pattern pieces, pin, and cut out the fabric!
