Since I dye yarn and then decided to start blogging, I automatically thought that this would become a knitting blog. Ummmm... not so much. August, atleast, is going to be all about sewing! I have a huge, important sewing project that will be taking up most of my time and I should have pics and info on that soon. I wanted to brush up on my sewing skills and practice a bit before I started so I thought I'd work on a smaller, much less important project first.

This is Vogue 8241. Very Easy Vogue to be exact. It was fairly easy, but some of the instructions needed a double take and the final product is nowhere near perfect. I haven't done the finishing work since I think this one will only be a prototype. I will try this pattern again, but with slight modifications.

I'm most happy with how the top turned out. It took some rippping and re-sewing but the collar and under the arms fit perfectly. The only thing I think I'll change next time is to lengthen the torso a bit and shorten up the skirt.

Only a couple hours til Project Runway!!! As excited as I am for this episode, I have a feeling there's no way it can live up to the hype it's created. I could be wrong though... we'll see!
