Early 'March, my favorite sewing time of the year

While it is not yet even early Spring where I live most of the year, I just love this time of year.  My birthday time, when the redbuds bloom where I grew up, in Southern Oklahoma.  Also, the time for the biggest sewing expo event of the year in Pewallup, WA.  I've only attended once, what a fabulous trip!!!
But, all the independent pattern companies and many of the Vogue pattern designers go all out with their new patterns right before the show begins.


This is Sewing Workshop's new Helix tshirt pattern.  I ordered some very fine Hugo Boss knit from them as well, as they said it was perfect for this design.  Another blog said a fabric was like sewing on jello.  Well, this wasn't quite that bad, but it wasn't much fun, either.

I do like the resulting shape which has a seam running around the body.  Will have to wait until I return to WI to wear it as Florida is pretty much a short sleeve cotton tshirt place this winter.
