DIY Wrap: Pattern Review of M6168 View C

M6168 View C

Pattern Description: Misses Cardigans

Pattern Sizing: I cut the smallest size which I think was an 8

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes it did.

Were the instructions easy to follow? I quickly looked through them so I could at least say if they were clear and they are. I did not however use them during construction.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I wasn't sure why I made this except that I liked the look of view c and thought it would look great in this fabric. 

Fabric Used: Mystery fabric from my stash

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

Would you sew it again? Maybe  in the spring in a light weight fabric. Would you recommend it to others? Yes I do recommend it.

Conclusion: I wore it to work today and got a lot ohh's and ahhh's lol!

Mojo O' Mojo Where Art Thou? & What I Wore Today

I sat in my sewing studio this weekend basically staring at my fabric and trying to decide what I wanted to sew and I ended up with NOT.A.DAMN.THING! This happens to me all the time when I have too many ideas and I want to sew too many things all at once, LOL

When I sit there and can't decide I just get frustrated and then find myself mojo-less :-( I guess I will try again in a few days!

What I Wore..

Sweater @ F21

Skirt @ Chic B

Teal Accessories @ F21

Black Suede Boots 

My nails look like Tiffany Boxes, I think I need to paint a white bow on my ring finger :)

My Ombre Sunnies are from Old Navy

DIY Dress: Pattern Review of V1020 Again!

V1020

Okay I am not making this dress anymore because I have made it several times already but I gave them away to some of the girls at church and then found myself without one, lol!

I won't do a long review because like I said, I have made this dress before but I will say it is one of my favorite patterns. I love the gathers on the side and the length of the dress. I cut the sleeves because I didn't want long sleeves.

I also added 1" to the hem so i could have a wide 2" hem and this fabric is a DK but it is thick which is great since the dress is so close fitting, lol it helps hold it all together :)
