I finally made the Tate Jumper by Jessslous – it’s really cute, though my husband couldn’t stop laughing at the style when I showed him. A very quick sew in the denim Beverly got cut for me at mood when we went to NYC. I’m generally short waisted & have to make adjustments for that but here I had to go longer in the body by several inches.
I’ve cut out my Sawtell but not yet made it – I’ve used an IKEA duvet cover for it & think it’ll be cute but I’ve gotten in my head about that front neck being too difficult so I keep moving it back to the bottom of the pile.
Beverly:
4 T shirts to wear with skirts. They are all made using a pattern that comes up just an inch too small for our show. I’m sure folks can find any number of patterns that fit this bill – it’s a cap sleeved T shirt with a band at the bottom. Why? Because I think skirts look good tucked in but I can’t stand the feel of even a french tucked shirt in my skirt/pants. This will sort of be mock tucked in. Also planning some cropped options.
More progress on my Skirt Skills skirt! I made a mock up of the lantern skirt pattern. -describe idea and initial draft plus changes. Next is the basted fitting! -I’m going to use the twill (circle embossed) that we got at the last shop we went into for fabric in NYC! Also thinking of lining it with SILK – sari silk I Purchased ages ago.
New patterns:
Matchy Matchy Skipper Top and Dress
Waves and Wild – Jupiter Leggings
Curvy (Femme) fit Adult Male/Straight fit
Ooo! I love these!
Willow belt by Sew House Seven – it’s on sale for $4.80, reg price $6 but I think this one would have made a nice freebie. Maybe I’m wrong

I love these “scary” challenges because we get to see so many folks try all sorts of things that they normally wouldn’t do. You can also choose to make a costume if you prefer to go that angle.
What are some scary things you might want to try?
