I didn't get any sewing done this past weekend. Seems like so much was going on. I had to work Saturday and that was most of the day. Then Hancock Fabrics had McCall patterns on sale for $.99 and had to check that out before I went home. So there's one near home so I went there from work. Talked to my mom before Hubby came home and then when he got home we both napped until around 10pm. Then on Sunday we went to see Hubby's best friend's new baby. Maryn (girl) was born last Tuesday (6/24).
So the BWOF 06/2008 #107 is still not finished but I do plan on pairing it with one of these little ditties that I picked up this weekend Skirt #1 or Skirt #2. Both have contrasting hem bands, a feature that I truly love. I'll have to take pics of the fabric that I'm planning on using and maybe you can tell me if I'm going too crazy with the print or not. Would really appreciate your feedback because sometimes i can just over do it and then it won't be worn from disgust. Anyhoo! I'm working out after work today and then there's that pile of laundry to do so we'll see if there will be any sewing done today. Oh! I decided on Sunday when Hubby and I were playing our usual game of Scrabble, that I would do the arm alterations because it's only around 5/8 for the alteration and that's too simple to not do it!

BWOF 06/2008 # 107A/B
I currently joined a sew-along with the Burda English group.
I started on it late because i got my issue late and i had other things going on (who doesn't).
So here is the blouse that we are doing. It's due before the next issue. I can't say with all that I have going on right now that I'll be done by then again but who's keeping count. I'm trying to learn how to play around with PhotoShop or something close to it. So that I can make my wardrobe plans as pretty as some of these other women out there that know a thing or two about it.
I love these two features that BWOF have.
I will be posting pics of the muslin soon. I have also played around with the idea of doing buttonholes instead of snaps. I'll have some detailed photos of that. Also I'm going to try Sigrid's suggestion about the sleeve head. And do an adjustment to the sleeve because it's tight around the bicep.

What I'm doing
Hi All!
I'm in the process of trying to loose weight and still want to sew as well. So along with working out i've been working on this dress. New Look 6697 it's a faux wrap dress. This is very quick and simple. I'll be done with it today and will have pics to post. My weekend was ok, hubby had to work and Mom was out so it was just me and Phoebe (dog) all weekend.
