Blue Dress

Again I'm busting out the Vogue 8020 pattern and attempting to make something in time for the work Christmas Party. I've got 4 months, no sewing machine and still a bit to cut out. I should be able to do it! Ha ha Progress pictures are due I reckon.

The material, and it's nice embroidered edges and scallops!


As my sister is pregnant, my youngest sister and I didn't know we both wanted to make a quilt/blanket thing for the baby, so between the two of us, we can make something epic and halve our time, it's due February 11, 2012. We've got time! I was thinking a sort of patchwork, or squares with cute animals/birds on them. Will have to come up with a few designs and propose them to little sister.

I am slowly gaining bits and bobs for my Amy Pond police costume. I was actually looking for a piƱata for youth group, but couldn't find one and found a UK police ladies hat instead for $4. Score!

As a side note, my glasses are very dirty, I'm glancing at the screen and every now and then seeing spots magnified times 1 billion. I should clean them. Anyway. Time to crank the new 3 Doors Down cd once sleeping beauty wakes up and maybe cut a few more pattern pieces.

New *gasp* Modern dress

Thats right, I have picked up my dress that I started working on back in December 08. Its a vogue pattern, a bit 'breakfast at tiffany's. For those playing at home, its V8020.

So this is what we have so far, it looks lumpy because it is presently, a lot of pins and yes, they hurt.

I'm using satin left over from my sisters formal dress, red sides and black front. When I first put it together it was a bit of a sack, needed some fitting, and I think I've lost more weight so that would be one answer. Can't wait to finish it!
