I’ve been sewing.
There is an anniversary gala tonight for Barry’s program at work. Somehow I can’t fit into any of my gala worthy dresses, so this time around I decided to make one. I found a gorgeous blue/black silk linen blend at an amazing store called Denver Fabrics. This is the first time I’ve ever taken on a clothing project like this. Pattern sizing is CONFUSING! By my measurements I needed to make a size 12 top– luckily I made it in muslin first and it was way too big. The size 10 fits just right, though. For the skirt I had to make a size 16, though I wear a size 6 or 8 if I buy clothes at the store. I have been cutting and sewing for hours and hours and up until midnight most nights this week, but all I have left to do today is hem the sleeves and add the finishing touches to my accessories.
I’ll show you the whole thing on Monday.
Oh, can’t waite!
I can’t wait either!
