Pin Stripe Dress

I made this dress probably a year ago, but I had gotten so frustrated with the facings that I set it aside and had forgotten about it.  I will be needing business casual clothing when I start work next month so I thought I would finally finish it off.  I think it turned out pretty well.

Summer Top

This is a top that I did over the past couple of days.  The fabric was a red tag at Joann's, there was only about a yard left so I thought it would make a cute top. 

Dress Progress

Finally back to working on my shirt dress little by little.  Pretty far along at this point waist band is done, zipper in and sleeves in progress.  I should have time to finish the sleeves tomorrow and than I will just have the hem and buttons.

Aprons Again

A couple more done! I was finally able to figure out how to get my rolled hem foot started on my machine, watch out!

3/4 Slip

I threw together this slip today.  I have this great black knit dress that I got at a thrift store last year, and after wearing it out and about all day I came home and my husband informed me that you can see right through it.  Needless to say I haven't worn it since, but I love to and really want to wear it to a party this weekend so since I have all this time on my hands I took some leftover lining that I had from a vest that I made and threw together this slip.

It may not be much to look at, but it does a great job of keeping the mystery alive. 

Aprons again...

Got a few more aprons done today three of these

and a few aprons that came out a little small, but I think they would be great for the kiddos.

Hopefully going to go back and try to fix my dress tomorrow more pics to come.

Of course...

So, despite my best efforts to put my new pattern altering skills into play I am apparently still to ambitious for my own good.  I was all excited to try and finish the shirt dress that I have been working on so I could wear it this weekend.  Unfortunately, while I was able to alter the pattern so the top fits and the bottom fits I failed to account for how the heck they were going to meet up since I am a smaller size on top and a bigger size on the bottom.  Damn my junk in the trunk!  So, I am once again stuck with my good friend the seam ripper ripping out the waistband and trying to figure out how to make this work.  No pictures today because it's just too tragic.  I think I will go back to the aprons and take some time to regroup before I attempt to fix the dress.
