pink bow top done!

August's sewing project is done! Here is my McCall's 6928 bow top. I cut an X-small This pattern runs big! Big!

I am really happy I did- no sewing regrets! It did get a little droopy by the end of the workday but nothing bad. I got a bunch of compliments! I can't hide though! The only things I did different was I cut the excess seam fabric from the binding of the neck and armholes. It was just too thick- pattern doesn't call for that. And I also attached the bow at the very end of the pattern and also to the binding in order to not rip a hole in the thin knit.

I love bows! This pattern is a win!! So I know I am behind on blogging. I am trying to catch up but work has been beyond busy. And I have not wanted to take pictures. I got myself to take a bunch with messed up neck and everything. I gave up on trying to be done up. You got me in glasses with a comb ran through my hair. Hey this isn't a style blog, this is a sewing blog. ;) More posts on their way.

Cheers,
Lauren

Blue satin bow top, Butterick 5784

Got my July project done. Just lazy to take a picture in it. Let me tell you it wrinkles like it is nobodies business. I iron it and then it wrinkles. LOL it is a never ending battle. Yes the fabric is from my cousin's Tiffany's themed bridal shower. I snagged some, hee hee!

Easy sew really. It is nice to have that sometimes. Especially after some of these battles recently. Fit was right on target! I sewed a medium. No changes were made and it looks like it was supposed to- only issue was tying that bow. It seems a bit bulky to me.

Can't beat my cheesy, tired, goofy grin sometimes. :)

Cheers,
