The weather has been great this weekend and that means DH and I are out and about. So sewing has been sparse and sporadic.
The neckband is attached to the Simplicity top. I had some issues with this as the directions say one thing but illustrations show something else. I chose to follow the illustrations and ended up with neckband facing on the right side and neckband on the inside. Not a big issue except I had trimmed and notched the seams before discovering the error. It was solvable, though added a few more steps to a simple project.
I had to stop at JoAnn's to get a tube turner while we were out as I have no idea where my current one is located. Shame on me for a messing and cluttered sewing room. Normally when I buy a replacement I end up finding the one that was "lost". So far it has not shown up!
Simplicity, McCall's and Vogue patterns were on sale and I tried hard to walk away without looking but several patterns on my wishlist captured my attention and for $1.99 or 3 for $5, what's a sewist to do.
Updates on current project and patterns purchased to be posted later.
