BWOF 3-2008 113 wrap top

This top turned out really cute. Just learned out to do a "lettuce stitch" so I was able to finish all the edges w/ this & it looks cute. I think it's my new fav finish. I HATE hemming. It looks pretty close to the mag picture.

I'll probably make again in a solid color. Love the brown floral though.

BWOF 1-2008 119 Tunic

I had pretty much finished this "tunic" 2 weeks ago before I got sick. I got stuck on the yoke attachment & didn't get back to it until yesterday after work.
Sue V. from patternreview.com was right about all the problems w/ this pattern.
The shoulders fall off (I also added ties to the back, didn't help much)& I don't think it should have been rated a 2-in difficulty, more like a 3.
I didn't like how long the tunic was, so I turned it into a mini dress using the border on the edge of my extra fabric. Throw on a pair of brown sandals & head to the beach, & it'll be cute for Spring/Summer.

BWOF 2-2008 125 Boule dress

I finished this project earlier this week, but I've been behind on my posts.

This wasn't a particularly difficult pattern, but I ran out of black thread in the middle of the project. A week ago I could have sworn I had 2-3 spools of that stuff.

Review:

Easy pattern & ok instructions, a bit tricky near the pockets area. Another one of those looks that would be much better worn by the teens or slender body types. Twiggy would Rock this!

The front folds have nothing behind it to keep your tummy in. But, I guess that's why God invented Spanx. This would be cute w/ flats & leggings. Haven't worn it out yet.

November BWOF Brocade top

A very easy pattern. Will make a little longer next time & tweak the sleeves a bit. Loved it.
