Sewing Room Update

Happy Mother's Day to you all!
We do a hike every day on this day. My youngest son and I took a hike up Burleigh Mountain, which is basically just beyond the back of our house. It was once used by the private school as their ski area.

The leaves are popping out now, and unfortunately, so are the bugs!

My sewing room is being overhauled! We removed a closet, and are breaking through into the adjoining ell to create a walk-in closet. Here it is in this stage: The new closet will be cut into the wall behind the cherry cabinet.

All the supplies and stash are in my son's room. Luckily, he's only here for one night. He just finished a semester at college, and is going on a 10-day Geography field study to the southwest tomorrow. 
Here's the new plans! 

 I haven't been sewing much! Besides the sewing room being dismantled, work is incredibly busy, and expanding the business as well. I made Simplicity 1803 for my middle son's girlfriend. The tissue fitting went great! The front and waist level fit so good, but unfortunately, I didn't do too well fitting the back, there's excess fabric. She has a very slim back! I'll make the adjustment on the pattern and make another one in a nicer fabric. Here she is, modeling the dress.
Hopefully I'll be posting more soon!
