I've been busy! I got the jacket completed and I like it although I'm not completely happy with it. My fabric didn't behave the same as my muslin so the bust point is a bit too high for my tastes. Oh well, it's still better than anything I could buy RTW and I do tend to be too hard on myself and my work. Maybe I can improve the fit with a new bra. I just got an Elan bra pattern and a kit from Sew Sassy. I'm probably not working next week so I'll try to make a bra then.
After getting the jacket done, I needed something to wear with it. Also, I needed to get going on the Wardrobe Contest. So, I made a pair of pants from an OOP Sandra Betzina Pattern, altering the legs for a wider look. The top is so cute! It's from an Ottobre magazine, 2/2007 #12. The pattern as drafted was almost long enough to make a short dress, but as a dress I think it would look great. I may make it later this summer.
I also finished two versions of the Jalie Sweetheart top. I'm too tired right now to share it. It'll give me something to do tomorrow. Good night.
Those look fantastic on you! Welcome to the wunnerful world of blogging...
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute! I love the print you made your top from. I think the fit looks great.
ReplyDeleteVery cute pieces so far! I love green!!! Sp springy.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your wardrobe! Thanks, also, for stopping my blog and leaving a comment. I always read your reviews on PR because we have similar fitting challenges. Hopefully I will get some time in the next few weeks to work on muslin #2 of this shirt. Stay tuned!
