I have made progress on my dress. I like the color blocking with solid and print fabric. The shoulders are sewn and the sides are basted for fit before I attach the sleeves. I started to just sew it up since I have made this twice now; yet each knit fabric behaves differently so I want to be sure that this knit does not need extra attention to get the proper fit.
Work consumed a lot of my time last week thus leaving me pretty much to tired to do much of anything. One day I put in 10 hours and by the time I got home I just was too tired to eat much less do anything but zone out and then sleep. This week is more normal and have sewn in bits of time.
I will have enough fabric left over from both of these fabrics for a top. I ordered some patterns from Pattern Review, mostly Butterick, as they were $2.99 on sale. However I received a notice from Deepika that there was a ordering mistake and not all patterns were shipped to meet all the orders. So I must wait for these.
It is not like I don't have other patterns to try so I am not lacking for things to sew.
More later.
