The Sack Series!

Well alrighty, here is dress three is what i'm calling my 'sack series'.

The first dress was from the June 2011 Burda.  Design 113:

The second dress is also from the June Burda issue:  Design 107:

Yes, I am aware that it looks like a prison uniform from the fro-fro womens facility, but it's linen and a billion degrees here.  You can't beat it!

Last but not least is Kwik Sew 3681:

I'm not entirely sure what's going on witht he silly look on my face, but it is what it is.  I like this dress.  It's especially cute witht he belt from the dress in the first pic.  (I didn't want to bug DH for more pics.  I got what I got and i'm happy about it! lol )  I might actually make this one agian. 

I'm sorry to say that now that I have a few new dresses that I can just toss on, it's time to move on (back) to something I really don't feel like doing.  The robe.  Ugh!  I need a robe so bad though, the one I have is falling apart.  I had started the robe a few months ago, but I didn't ahve enough fabric.  I had to order a few different pieces of fabric from Fabric.com.  I still can't find the right color.  I think what i'm just going to do is just dye it when i'm finished. 

Also...  I'm so damn excited I could pee!  They built a new JoAnns near(er) to me in Mooresville, NC!  This one is only about 20 miles away.  I can't wait to go there! 

Doing the right thing.

As some of you may already know, i'm pregnant. And becuase I have added a whole HALF cup size to my boobs, i'm all ready to show the still-tiny little things off to the public with low cut tops. Wee!

This weeks experiment is
Burda 8043. My plan was to make a muslin, just to see how it fit. And then lenghten the pattern into a dress. Heh! Clearly I did something wrong because the back panel was so loose that I was calling it my 'baby sling'. It was just hanging there, and there was no way for me to fix it. Bummer. I think I made the mistake of using an interlock though when the pattern calls for a woven (I think, the pattern envelope is not really clear). So, can you believe I went and did the right thing? Yep, I went ahead and threw the wadder out! Right into the trash can. No second looks. No goodbyes. I don't think I have ever don't that before. How liberating!

I do have to admit though, this pattern was really easy, so I think i'm going to give it a second try in a woven and see what comes of it.
