My Crepe Suzette Clutch is done and I am loving it so much! Photos and review upcoming.
Simplicity 6145
Simplicity 6145 muslin stitched up as a top - must cut larger size from waist down to accommodate bottom half and I have some small sleeve issues to deal with. Note: I cannot stand sewing slippery polyester fabric!!!
Simplicity 5289 double knit dress cut out and all darts have been thread traced.
Two different types of waistbands cut out for Grainline Moss muslin 3.
Zippers and buttons acquired for all Spring 2014 wardrobe patterns. The buttons were all found in my stash and zippers only cost $4.
Stepped into the Gap and feel in love with quality and fit of their Ponte blazer in Heather Blue ($88). A ponte blazer is a great idea, you should definitely go check it out. The sweatshirt-gray version was on sale for $47 in the store.
On hold off-and-on with a service provider today for three hours, was getting close to conclusion when my phone died!!! Got back in line a few hours later and after being on hold another hour found out they could not do what I needed done. Arrrrgggghhhh.
Checked out from the library copies of Sewing Lingerie and Sewing with Knits, two other volumes of the Singer Reference Library series. Highly recommend them and will probably search for a used copy of both. Already own two others from this series that I found for 99 cents each at Alibris.com.
No wonder you loved the blazer - such a nice cut! :) Wow, so many projects in your que, how do you do it all?? *lol* Heck, I procrastinate until after the cows come home, so I guess I know what problem I need to fix, eh? ;)
