Sew (so) I had my first day of college class last night after umpteen years of not going. It is wierd seeing so many young people in one place. Thank God that my degree program is for adults returning to school, so most of my classmates are close to my age.
I wore my new dress to work today and got a lot of compliments. I don't usually wear pink, but everyone thought it was very classy. My husband gave me the best compliment. He thought I'd bought the dress! He said is was as good as store bought. Course you and I know that "store bought" is not all that well made, but I know what he meant.
Today, a woman asked me who was my seamstress...I took great pride in saying it was me! Here is a lousy picture (my husband is not a good photographer) and a closeup of the fabric. I used McCall's 5882. It's the second time I have made it and love the pattern. It's quick and easy. I like the combination of mixing fabrics. For this dress I used a patterned eyelet that had flicks of silver mixed on the flower pattern. The main part of the dress was a striped seersucker. They really complimented each other don't you think?
Sew, that was it! A great day. Tonight, with my goal of doing at least 30 minutes of sewing a night, I am going to cut out a skirt in denim with a new pattern. I'll keep you posted!
