Add these to the in-process projects:
- Stretch & Sew 1745, work shirt for Darren. Cut out of 100% cotton burgundy knit. Contrasting green placket interfaced. I removed the length I had added in the upper chest area because the shirts I made that way indicated that the additional room isn't needed. I think this one will fit better in the arms. Also, this time I'm going to try making a contrasting collar to match the placket. I've used purchased collars in the past and I frankly didn't want to spend the money this time.
- Vogue 7281 Long sleeve view. Muslin cut; final fashion fabric to be a reddish-rose linen look material. Need some special buttons for this.
- Vogue 7976 shorter jacket. Muslin cut; final fashion fabric to be a gray/pink/white boucle tweed with white lining. (I wanted pink lining, but they were out and I had to catch the 50% sale while the catching was good)
The lavender knit shirt from Unique is finished. I guess it fits okay; that is, the bust, back, neckline, waist and hips fit okay, but the armholes are too low and the sleeves were too long. Re the sleeves, for what I paid they should be perfect. And those shoulder seams have got to angle forward, 'cause I've got that slippage down the back thing going on. I think the armhole fit is a design issue, based on the pattern drawing.
I got my Palm Tungsten E pda! Woo hoo! I love it, love it, love it! I'm going to go play with it now.
