Hey Look - Dog on Thursday!

Opps!  That's Dog on Couch!

Happy Thursday Everyone.

Shirt Dress

Sneak peak of my shirt dress. It still needs to be washed to get the markings out and pressed again.

I just bought a fabulous little white cardigan which looks great with this dress. 

It does not flare out at the center front on me, but those drag lines from the bust to the hip do exist.  I'm not going to worry about it - because the dress fits. 

I was under the impression that Lou was now smaller than me.  I have learned fitting this dress and putting it on her  - that this isn't completely true.  My hips are bigger but her bust is bigger than mine.  Not fair.

I lucked out and found perfect buttons for this dress.  However - they could be a bit closer to the center front of the dress.  Again - not going to worry about it. 

There has been sewing

But there is no proof.

I recently made  my first pattern from Ottobre magazine.

The first pattern was a cardigan from the 5/2007 issue - but I can't find any pictures on line.

The cardigan is part of a twin set, but I need another length of velvet ribbon before it's wearable.

 I had made the twin set to go with the skirt completely unwearable skirt that was the first take from the Simplicity Pencil Skirt pattern.

So now I need a new skirt to wear it.

However - I'm thrilled beyond words with how these patterns fit me.

Soon there will be finished sewing - I promise.

Sunday night I cut out the top on the cover of the February 2011 issue.

I already made a smokin' hot skirt to wear with it.
