Flower to the People

My husband has this endearing habit of talking to me randomly while taking pictures, and shooting only when I respond.  You can only imagine the amazing faces he captured today.

Pattern: Sewaholic Alma

Fabric: cotton voile from Mood

Notions: invisible zip, lightweight interfacing

Notes:

Remember the hard time I had with my first Alma?  Yeah. This time I made size 10.

Problems solved.

I am a dork.

I did, though, add 2" to the length.  And I honestly don't think I'd want it any shorter.

I also stitched the facing down on the blouse back, and you'd never know from the busy print.

And that is all.  Honestly, this is a completely drama-free project.

All I'm saying is thank God there were no ill-placed flowers.

Three cheers for serendipity!

In the wardrobe contest lineup, I have 1 more completed top, that I may yet go back and tweak.

My sewer's choice items are nearly finished, and I just have one last item to start.

 I think I can do this!

Finally, I have yet to finalize my Me-Made-May pledge.  I'm currently waffling, not because I don't have enough to wear, and not because I don't think it's interesting and worthwhile, but more because I think at this point, I know where my strong and weak points are.  I think instead of focusing on wearing clothing, I should work on fixing clothing that's not quite right, so I do wear them more.

Still cogitating there, but it will come, I'm sure.
