Sewing Retro: Sewing Marathon

I am planning a sewing marathon over the next six weeks. I am done with school. My house is relatively clean and I am in the mood to sew. I'm going definitely going to make two more of Butterick B4790 (now that I know it works) and this little cutie.

V8392 $12.00 plus shipping at Vogue
I paid $4.30 with shipping on ebay

This one is not an OOP pattern, so I saved a lot of money buying it from my favorite seller. At $12.00 plus shipping from the website and $4.30 including shipping from ebay. I think I did pretty good.

I'd like to do B and C in a lawn or batiste for warm weather. I think the fabric would create a casual outdoor look. Besides, I don't think I've ever sewn anything in lawn or batiste, so I'm curious to see how it sews and how easy it is to work with.

View B for size 20 and 45" fabric is only 2 3/8 yards. View C for size 20 is only 2 1/8. I would have thought B would have used more fabric.

One thing I learned about batiste and lawn fabric that I didn't know before is that organdy, lawn and batiste all begin as the same "gray goods". Lawn and batiste do not receive the acid finish that organdy does, so lawn and batiste remain opaque. Looks like I will be fabric shopping today. I love to order swatches.
