I hope your weekend went well. Mine was a blast!
Last Thursday I got a call from my best friend. She invited me to a woman's get-together with a "pajama" theme. The only problem was, I did not have any pajamas to wear!! So, I did some last minute shopping, and picked up Mccall's 5248 at Hobby Lobby for $1.99
I knew I would have family in town for the weekend, and sewing time would be tight, so I decided to only sew a pair of pants instead of the whole ensemble. I knew it would be easier to throw a shirt over pants than to try to squeak out a pants and top.
On Sunday I proceeded to finish the pants in about 2 1/2 hours. I sewed a size Medium, with plenty of room to spare. I almost chose a small, but knew by the finished measurements that I would not have enough leg or hip width.
Overall, this pattern was very easy to sew, and came together without a hitch. I love the drawstring waist, and the comfy, comfy feel. I wore my pants to the PJ party, then came home, showered, and wore them to bed. I want to live in these things they are so comfy and cute!!!!!!!!
And the ladies' event was AMAZING!!
I will be attending another event in June with a "white party" theme---you come dressed in white. I am thinking a white dress would be perfect to sew. I won't be starting it soon, but somewhere in the middle of May. So stay tuned...Also, if you have any suggestions for a great white dress pattern, let me know. I want something classy, chic, and stylish.
Here's to hoping for a week of muslins...
Stay sew-filled!
An all-white party sounds classy. You should make one of Ralph Rucci designs that Vogue carries like V1239 or my fave V1317 -- would look smashing in white!
ReplyDeleteOh these are cute. I missed this pattern! Sure sounds like a good time!
ReplyDeleteVanessa, I swear we are on the same wave length. I have this pattern. I made the pants in satin, but they need to be hemmed. I didn't use the drawstring. The top is also partially finished. I probably have less than an hour to finish both. I was finishing Christmas projects and this was left in the corner!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you and your endeavours.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
