Drooling for New Patterns

Just got thru looking at the new Vogue Patterns. I already have a wish list:

Vogue 1045: I've got the perfect piece of silk dupioni for this one!















This one is so-o-o me: Vogue 8488














I've just got to add these 2 to my vintage collection:


Vogue 1043












Vogue 1044















Now all I need is a sell at JoAnne's or Hancocks fabrics!

My First Fitting class


Today, I began my first class of fitting. I signed up for a Commercial Pattern fitting class - part I at the Bernina Sewing Studio in Boulder. I think it is going to be great! I learned so much in the first night. Next week I get my measurements done - yikes! I find most of my fitting issues surround my rear. Yes baby got back.

Also, I just started a Simplicity 3673. Had to add two inches thru the rear back. Pictured to the left. I found a black/white houndstooth which will look really nice in it.
