The weekend started rough with us discovering that our water
heater was blown. So half the day on Saturday
was spent with plumbers working on the replacement and the remainder of the day
spent getting caught up on the laundry.
Let’s start with the Shelia Jacket. There was a minor problem with the Shelia jacket pattern
(there were 2 “D” fronts in my size) but Peggy got back with me
fairly quickly letting me know how to determine which pattern piece was the
correct one. I have now finished tracing
the jacket, checked that the pattern pieces match to one another, and that the
basic width will fit. I did add a couple
of inches at the hip using the pivot and slide method. Here’s the fabric that I wanting to use for
the jacket:
There will be a webcast tonight on this jacket pattern. I’m looking forward to it. Hope I do not forget about it.
Next, I traced the Diane Kimono dress. I pin fit the pattern pieces and was pleasantly
surprised that it appeared to fit. I
need to look around for some fabric to make a muslin of the bodice to
double-check the fit. I really think the
width is good but I may need to add a little bit of length. Here’s the fabric
that I’m considering for the dress:
As for the shoe saga, of the three pair I ordered only one
pair worked out. I now have a new pair
of low heeled black dress shoes. The
other two pair have been returned but I keep looking. New shoes arrive on a daily basis at
Zappos. I’m sure I’ll find something
else soon.
Happy Stitching!
