Yesterday (Monday) I spent most all morning in the sewing room trying to fit patterns. Particularly the Sorbetto Top (freebie) from Collette Patterns. After making two tracings of this pattern, I think I have the sizing right now. I had to make a FBA, swayback and high upper round back adjustment. The McCall's knit top also needed a little more tweaking but just minor adjustment. DH got home from work a little earlier than usual yesterday, so spent some time hanging with him.
Today I cut out the McCall's top, the Sorbetto Top and another eShrug from Sewing Workshop. I used fabric from my stash for all with one being fabric left over from another project from 2007; a black crinkled fabric-a freebie from an ASG meeting and the McCall's top is from fabric I purchased last year from Denver Fabrics. I had planned to use another knit fabric but it did not meet the knit stretch factor necessary for this.
The serger is set up already for the Sorbetto Top. The bias tape required for this was in my stash. It is almost time to fix dinner and perhaps afterwards I can sew a little. Updates later.
