On Furlough AKA unplanned, unpaid vacation


As most of you know by now, the government is on furlough.  No work, no pay.  Time to check out the stash!  err....collection.  I am an artist and this is my collection!   Yeah, that's it. 

I bought this fabric a few months ago with a gift card that my sister sent to me.  It's aged enough, so time to make a shirt!   The 2nd picture is a detail of the fabric. Cute, isn't it?  I saw cats and a sewing room - it's like they created it just for me!
The shirt pattern is my favorite Connie pattern - the old baseball shirt pattern.  Raglan sleeves, pockets, and it fits well and feels comfortable.  What's not to love?
