Finally, Some Sewing-Related Time

I finally(!!!) got to spend time on sewing-related activities. Yay!!

I traced out Kwik-Sew #3419 (for me!) made an adjustment on the sleeves and raised the neckline. I'm short-waisted, so I still need to make those adjustments. I found some ugly knit fabric for $1.00 a yard at Jo-Ann's -- perfect to use for a muslin.

I need to get started on a dress for dd -- her Senior Prom. She chose this Simplicity Pattern. I haven't sewn an actual garment for quite some time and I've never tackled a formal dress. I'm pleased that she wants me to make her dress and I so desperately want it to turn out well. Her color of choice is Royal Blue. She's a "Winter" and looks fabulous in jewel-tone colors. If I make a mess of it, I told her we'd head to David's Bridal. ;-)

No sewing tomorrow -- I have to work all day and then I'm taking dd and two of her friends to the Pacers vs. Hawks game. The homeschool basketball team she cheered for is going to be the "Group of the Game". We'll get some free thunder-stix, t-shirts and food. Every time the Pacers hit a 3-pointer they'll show the group on the Arena screen. I live in Indiana -- the "basketball state", the home of the reigning Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts and the home of the Indy 500. All that, and I've never been to a pro (or college) sporting event. I'm hoping that since the Pacers are doing so poorly that the traffic won't be as bad. :-)

Off to bed now.
