1. Silhouette Patterns #600 - Classic Blouse - The imagine on the pattern nor the line drawings give this pattern much hope. However, the versions that I've seen made up look very nice. I have it traced the 5W size and pin fitted. At 5'5", the pattern as delivered is too short. I will be adding at least 3" to the length. Here's the pictures:
My muslin will be made up in a gingham to see how well it fits. In addition to the length issue, I have also determined that the shoulder slope needs to be adjusted on this pattern. If I can get a good fit, I have a cotton floral fabric to make this up in with the colors of blues and pinks.
2. Silhouette Patterns #2913 Nick & Zoe's Best Selling Skirt. I ordered this skirt when it was released and have never gotten around to it. I ordered a stretch denim for this.
3. Silhouette Patterns #2516 Lim's Bias Skirt. This pattern hopped right into my cart when I saw it. I have not picked a fabric yet and need to locate someone that sells the foldover elastic in colors. Anyone have a source? My guess it will be in the rose color family.
4. I am also planning on knitting 2 tank tops from the class on Feminine Fit at Craftsy. I am unable to get a picture of this but it has a curved hem and is fitted. I hope I can get my knitting needles going. This is what I generally do when I'm watching TV. One of the yarns is in pinks and the other is in blues.
5. I'm also planning a denim dress but haven't decided on the pattern yet. I have plenty of shirt dress patterns or if I can get the Silhouette Classic Blouse to work out, I may lengthen it.
Okay, I think this is enough of a commit to attempt in addition to the 2 quilts that I need to finish by the first of June. I think I need to spend more quality time with my sewing machine and sew like the wind.
What do you think of my pattern selections? Have you made any of this patterns? I will admit that I have had a hit or miss with this pattern line but Peggy has always been helpful.
Happy Sewing!
