My latest project is a dress for my neice Sonia Rose to wear at the wedding. I'll be using Simplicity 5115 view A. Pretty simple. No collar because collars always turn up, although I'm considering a little neckline ruffle. This pattern includes an attached romper underneath instead of a diaper cover. There will definitely be ruffles on the romper rump. I also decided to self-line the yoke rather than binding it, and to add piping at waist seam and possibly the neck and sleeves. And it's going to be the same material as my suit! Won't that be just darling!
I sewed! I actually sewed! I got this pretty accordian pleated "broomstick" fabric at my first (and only, so far) BABES gathering (BABES is a group of sistah sewists from the bay area who have Pattern Review in common: I've wanted to make it into a skirt for Easter for 2 years and I finally did! Here it is: I've lost 58 pounds over the past 10 months and this is the first thing I've sewed since I started my diet (Atkins). To go with the skirt I bought a knit top (in the misses department, not the Women's department!) and to complete the outfit my sweet girls gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure so I have matching toenails!
