Sloper Progress and Blog Moving

I traced left front and back bodice patterns onto tissue yesterday. For some reason I thought tracing would take a long time to do but it went very quickly. I've been wondering how to actually use the sloper once I have it and a bit of surfing turned up this helpful article. Just having the customized back and shoulder lines is going to help a lot.

I moved my blog from my own your-site webspace back to Blogger. Overall it was accomplished with 2 clicks of the mouse but sure enough, there has been a glitch: All the images uploaded using hello didn't transfer. This is fixable; worst case the pictures can be re-uploaded. In the meantime the irritating and all too familiar red Xs mark the spots.

I So Want to Sew

The pattern is cut out and pressed, the cutting mat is laid out on the table, and pre-washed fabric calls out to me. What is missing? TIME, that's what!

I just bought him a coupla pair of olive green 'Big Daddy Cargo Pants' at Penneys. Finding work pants for Dh that fit, are comfortable and don't rip the first day on the job has been an adventure. These pants look great on him and they are stretch twill! Yay! I had picked up some black and brick-colored knit collars at The Place That Sells Sewing Machines but now I have olive-colored pants...what to do? Here's what: I'm going to try and find matching olive knit or woven material to use on the work shirt placket and (maybe) collar! How coordinated he will be! Oddly, dh doesn't seem as excited about this as I am....

Print Fabric Possibility

Print fabrics are hard for me. I'm afraid they look busy and accenuate curves that are plenty accentuated without any extra help. But since my wardrobe plan calls for a print I've been looking around and I found this one at Vogue Fabrics . It has black, gray, charcoal, pink and purple. I could sure work with it. It's priced right, too--56" wide @ $6.99/yd.
