that's a wrap (dress)

A little each day I've been working on Butterick 5030 (view E) - so far it's cut out, marked, and interfaced. The fabric is a neat cotton print I found about a year ago in Ye Olde JoAnn's Red Tag Section, black with roses in various shades of red and dark pink, and they look more like photos than, you know, the usual flowers on fabric. Never fear, photos will get posted at some point. I think this might look good with a petticoat.

We just had a huge thunderclap - it started me and the cats, and they usually aren't bothered by much.

Work progresses on the prospectus, it's just not as fun to blog about.

Let me know how you like the pattern, please? I've been wanting a wrap dress, and with the size difference between my chest and hips, I'll probably need to make it.

I don't want to jinx anything, but so far it's going together quite smoothly; I didn't have to make any adjustments, just went by my measurements/size. If you are near a JoAnns and are at all interested in the pattern, Buttericks are 99 cents through tomorrow (Sat.).

Yep, a friend grabbed one for me today. (And then freaked out about the regular price.)

:) thanks, I love that Sally can sew herself up if she needs to. Your comment reminds me - we need to get this movie on dvd stat.

Definitely do an update and review - I actually bought that pattern last night after having it on my "To Buy" checklist for the past couple of weeks. LOL!
