Vacation Eve!
I have not been out of town in a very long time and I'm really looking forward to a break in my routine. Can't wait to eat some lobster!

Liked It So Much, I Made Another!
One of the garments I'm complimented on most frequently when I wear it is the blue cotton shawl-collar sweater I made a little over a year ago.

So I was surfing aimlessly through the vintage pattern pages over at Etsy, as I am wont to do from time to time, when I stumbled upon this.

Sewing a fine linen plaid men's shirt
I've fallen behind, readers. I haven't yet shown you photos from Susan's last fitting from last Friday, which went very well. I hope to share those with you later in the week.

MPB Day - Holy Moly, what fun!
Friends, the truth: Since I launched MPB Day in 2011, the only thing I've changed is my clothes.
I'm from the If it ain't broke school: a little fashion museum, a little lunch, a little pattern swapping, a LOT of fabric shopping, a little schmoozing in the park -- just add water. Like your mom's rice pudding recipe, it always comes out perfect. It's a day I look forward to all summer long and I'm always sorry when it's over.
