I measure 40x33x40 - so why did I trace this Kwik Sew in Medium?
Anyway, I added a half inch to the sides to make up for it.
I made this dress View B quite a few years ago. I fit a pattern size 12 then.
I love the style & that it drapes so beautifully since it's cut on the bias. And...I added 1" inch to all seams! We'll see how it fits. I've worked hard to eat less & work out out more since the second week of January. Heading way south towards the end of February. Can hardly wait!
Didn't have enough fabric but that's OK - I had plenty of scraps to piece together for the neck & armhole bindings. I swear I'll post pics of the finished dress.
At the same time, I made my eldest daughter a new pair of jammie bottoms.
Here's the scarf I finished knitting recently. I love the colour . It's much nicer in 'real' life! Oh yeah... I'm working on my powder room too.
When the sun shines in January in Vancouver, you go for a walk! Dyke at Pitt Meadows.
My new clogs arrived!! Fabulous sale at Ungleboclog. I love them.
My vegetarian dinner tonight - it was so good. I love forgoing meat these days. This dish has pinto beans, brown rice, onions, garlic and spinach...so delish!
Finished the dolly for my Grand-daughter. Had to rush at the end, Auntie Jo was flying up to Quesnel to see Adelia.
My finished crocheted shawl. Nice and warm when sitting at the computer for hours - on Pinterest!!
Jo, my sweet daughter, has recently discovered this shawl & fallen in love with it! I'm only too happy to share it with her.She wears it as a scarf with the point in front & it looks fabulous on her!

Christmas Eve
Merry Christmas to everyone! These are my lights through my curtains...perty eh!!!
Made these for my daughter-in-law & my grand-daughter - I hope they like them!
Both for my daughter Jo.
Pj sets & washing-up hairbands for my lovely daughters. I used the thrifted flannelette I found last summer.
I embellished the `Joe`t-shirts with an almost matching ribbon from my stash. I love how it all turned out.
Sewing the spiral together to form a rose.
Without the rose,
and with the rose.
Scarf for Jo. It`s long.................
Me modelling it - need to find some huge buttons for it yet.
I used Charisma yarn I used with a size 10 mm hook. Will post my pattern soon.
