A week has passed since I was last here. I started putting together my 'Tim Gunn' wardrobe. After searching in my stash I found fabric for the trench coat and for the classic white shirt. Will get started on these soon.
This was a busy week for me so I did not get in much sewing. I did manage to make a blouse for myself. This is made from lite blue stretch shantung. Was easy to make and fits really well. It is McCalls 6286.

| Back View Took DH with me today to Hancocks (not his favorite thing to do), but since I am making him a shirt I thought it would be nice for him to pick out fabric he liked. Not a smart move on my part.....We were in there about two minutes and he asked me where the men's department was. He could not visualize any of this fabric turning into a man's shirt. Hence I picked out some fabric but he's not sure he will wear it. (I'm sure he will). While I was in Hancocks' I noticed that they just started to sell Burda patterns. There were catalogs on the table and one of the sales ladies was stocking the draws. I wanted to take a look at the catalog but DH asked if I could look at it when he was not there. Guess I will go back there later this week. Be back soon. |
I like the way that shirt turned out.. For some reason I have always been intimidated to do a button u blouse... might be my fear of buttonholes... And I really do like Burda patterns. They seem to be a little more fashionable.BTW I stopped sewing for along time too.
