Finish Them!!

That's what's being going through my head in a Mortal Kombat voice for weeks. Well, they are done. I'm home alone (and sick) so I did my own photography in Alex's bathroom. Still, here they are...

First up we have the dress that needed a zipper. Zipper added...and I can't zip it all the way up.

Now with sunburn!

I thought it would be tight in the cups, and it is a little, but it's really just the wrong size. The pattern I had only went up to 16 and that's what I made. Maybe if I take up kickboxing it will fit...

Next up we have the shirt I have been working on FOREVER.

This is what happens when you forget sunscreen (and love chocolate)...

It's supposed to be a really easy pattern, but my downfall was the material. Super soft = Really hard to work with. Rolled all over the place and was an exercise in patience. Nothing seemed to go right with this shirt. It was also too small. It fits, but...not the look I want to sport. Particularly across the boobs. I may wear it sometimes anyway if I'm just hanging around the house. I'll probably hem it, but didn't think it was a pressing issue.

For right now I'm so over sewing for myself. I'm going to work on shirts for Alex. He's a growing boy and summer's coming at us fast and furious so some cute short sleeve shirts are called for.
