I've wanted to use this pattern since it showed up in the spring offerings. There were several garments online and in-stores this spring/summer season which inspired me...
...as always more later!

What's Next - Vogue 8799
Can I just say that I'm excited?! O-M-G! Nine, yes nine days of sewing fun begins now! And my first project is the dress and jacket from Vogue 8799.
Using this purple/plum linen from Mood Fabrics which I actually purchased online because I was too overwhelmed at work before vacation to head to the garment district...

I will be adding navy blue piping to the dress in various places and a navy blue lining. The good thing about this make is that except for the plum fabric, all of the other notions are from my stash. So the linen is in the dryer, next up the ironing board and then alterations to the pattern. Hopefully, I will be waist deep into this project today and tomorrow with some photos of the finished garment later this week.

And she's back on the blog-o-sphere!
ReplyDeleteIt's just, I was suffering from a serious dose of favourite blog drought. Thanks for the pictures, I especially like the one of you in the long print with the light cami.
wooohoooo! Let the sewolypmics begin :) Have a blast!!
ReplyDeleteI am SO envious!! Can't wait to see these new things in future posts.
ReplyDeleteOoh! These are going to be FAB! Can't wait to see the jacket, in particular!
ReplyDeleteLooks promising. Good luck that everything goes smoothly :)
ReplyDeleteOh boy!! I love that jacket pattern. It's been hovering near the top of my project pile for two months! I can't wait to see yours!
ReplyDeleteAnd welcome home from your vacation. I went on a cruise one time and decided that there were too many social challenges for my finicky personality. Too many people, too many paparazzi like photographers, too much of everything! I completely understand your reflections - the whole list! And you look great in that maxi dress!!!
ENjoy the sewing part of your vacation. Looking forward to see the results.
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is great! It really looks like your style (from what I've seen on the blog). I look forward to seeing your final creation :)
ReplyDeleteExciting - Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering why you chose linen. I find I can't wear linen because of the horrible wrinkling. Maybe a lining helps? How do you deal with the wrinkles?
ReplyDeleteYour choices look terrific, as usual. But, oh, please don't tell me you have started using 'make' as a noun. It's current use by many people as a noun is driving me nuts! ;) OK, maybe I was already crazy.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you home!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern. I did a muslin of the jacket(something I don't do often) and loved the way it came out. The jacket is cut and ready to be sewn. Can't wait to see yours. Welcome Back!
ReplyDeleteNine days of sewing? Are you on vacation?
ReplyDeleteWhen you get this sewn I would like to see you posing like the pic on the left or the pose with the woman in white. LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy hours ahead for you, enjoy
Welcome back! Oh how I envy your sewing time! The linen is going to make up into such a pretty dress for end of summer!
