Went to Joann today to hit up their Simplicity pattern sale. Apparently I'm back on a sewing kick; I've recently decided that once school's out and I'm full-time job searching, I'm also going to sew myself some nice office-appropriate clothes, in the hopes that I will have a chance to wear them in an actual job. I'm still working on the graduation dress, too. So:
S 1881—I plan to make the halter view, but I'll have to adjust the pattern to use woven fabric because it's drafted for knits.
S 2305 — love the sleeve, neckline, belt, curved hem, all that.
S 2860— pants are good. I like pants. I like them better than skirts. This pattern is labeled "amazing fit" (and though the last pair I made from an "amazing fit" pattern did not fit at all, let alone amazingly, that was 100% user error. And by error I mean "rushing things, not taking or trusting measurements, and not reading fit directions.)
S 2512— I like the interesting tie/belt detail on this.
Also I got a bunch of new machine needles, a thimble (hand-basting my graduation dress is poking holes in my finger), and a zipper for the graduation dress.
