| Decided to make a dress for warmer climates - Hello Mexico! |
Last week I began one part of my New Years Plan - to get back in shape. I belong to Curves, it's a nice workout for the mature women....LOL So I went 5 days in a row, missed Saturday & worked out at home on Sunday. I've been watching my food intake & I ended up throwing the rest of my Christmas chocolate into the trash - there wasn't much left at all, but it was very symbolic for me! Not soon enough though :(
I had to add an extra 1/2" to the sides of my pattern. I'm OK with that cause I know I will fit a size 12 this year! My tummy already feels smaller. Yeah!!

I started sewing it today & aside from the slipperiness, it's going to be a breeze to make. I dropped the back neckline about 6". I don't get why a lot of summery dresses have neck hugging backs. The gathered section in the front will be quite a bit lower too. I'll see when I get there.

Pretty but.............Spring's a lot prettier!! Still making earwarmers, I posted them on Ravelry. I really need to figure out how to link to other sites this year. I wish I could share my Pinterst too. I'm so addicted to that site.
The dress looks like its going to be gorgeous, cant wait to see if finished. I love tulips!
ReplyDeleteHi Janette! Thanks for your comment. The dress is finished except for the elastic gathers on the front. Tomorrow I'm finishing it!!! And I'll post a pic for sure..promise. I usually get so many projects going that it gets hard to finish anything...but I always do eventually!! How about you, what are you working on lately?
