Designed my summer dress this morning: a shin-length T-shirt, crew neck, short sleeves.
But I made major changes to my T-shirt sleeve; I'd better cut a toile from the scraps of Villa Olive before the "slub floral" cotton jersey arrives on Monday.
And in the afternoon I did it all over again, as walking the armscye showed that I'd made the sleeve half an inch too narrow.
Today I cut out the toile in the morning, marked it in the afternoon, and washed the fabric that UPS dropped off during my nap.
Maybe for once I'll get this dress made while it's the season to wear it!
Do we get pictures?? Juno
Sounds like good fun. As you all start talking about your preparations for summer, it's a reminder to me that we are heading into winter! Time to check on the winter clothes.
Just in case I manage to come to terms with DH's digital camera, I created a file to put pictures in -- and suddenly I was keeping a blog. Will post the URL when I get it cleaned up a little.
I finished the beta today -- a T-shirt made of some "villa olive" cotton jersey I must have bought miles of. I've been needing a new everyday T-shirt for months, and "villa olive" is quite becoming, but after two dresses and three T-shirts all in the same print, it took "I
*have* to test this new sleeve pattern" to get me moving.I'm making progress on getting the new fabric starched so I can use it
-- by virtue of dropping my standards considerably. Knits are a
*pain*. (Up until I starch them into submission.)Tomorrow is for doing wash and baking bread, so no progress is expected.
Still no pictures -- and no progress on starching the jersey.
I don't expect any progress any time soon, because when I undressed for my nap yesterday, making four new bras shot to the top of my priority list.
But here's the URL:
