Take 3!

Well, locked out of my old blog...despite changing my password more than 7 times! I have abandoned it in disgust. Google/Blogger seriously need to get their act together because there were literally hundreds of people who have the same problem listed in forums!  Anyway, let's hope this one gets up and going better than the last two!

I've just spent my weekend cataloguing and recording ALL of my sewing patterns. Wow, what an exercise, trying to numerically list them and find pics on the internet. It's done though and my drawer is better organised for it, the 'old style patterns' I'm not using and probably won't use any time soon are stashed at the back of the drawer and now I can make the shirt pattern I tried to cut out 3 days ago, but was missing two pieces. I've made this one before but it's a winner. I just need to add length as it was a bit short. I will also straighten it out at the bottom as I did find that it tended to pull up and show skin at the sides.

  This white striped fabric (right) is for the shirt. It's incredibly soft and cost $16.95 p/m so the shirt will end up being $27 BUT like a goose, I forgot to get buttons, so the final cost is yet to be calculated.








This GORGEOUS black velveteen fabric was obscenely priced at $76 p/m but I couldn't leave it in the store. I will make pants out of this, another pattern I've used multiple times. Because I have no butt, I'll add back pockets  with a flap...gives the impression of a butt lol.



I can whip these pants up usually in an hour, but add the pockets and flaps...should take me two at the most.  Can't wait to see how they look!
