What is wrong with this picture?

The finished Patrones skirt will follow, but first does anyone want to guess why I should have stopped working on this last night before I got to this point?

Classicly Tailored Shirt -- Butterick 5678

Image
Dear readers, I'm taking a craftsy class "The Perfect Tailored shirt."  However, I am only around half way through the class.  So, I am starting my shirt project anyway -- although I am modifying to use a princess seam pattern, for the first one. Here is the fabric I'm using -- a cotton print, a little bit vintage inspired, from Mood.  This is the pattern I selected and I modified it using my sloper (or basic bodice blocks) Although the class calls for a pattern without princess, such as this one below: Vogue 8689.  Maybe next time. I'm tempted to get a Connie Crawford pattern now that I've seen how good they are drafted. Here is where I stand below.   I'm missing about a half yard of fabric (I'm going to Mood Monday afternoon -- fingers crossed).  Last time I was there about three months ago -- a few hundred yards remained on the roll. As a result of the process, I've been researching tailored shirts.  Here is a women's Navy Of...

Takeout for Two - Legwarmers -- Finished!

Image
Dear readers, My takeout for two leg warmers almost became an UFO (unfinished object).  Fun and easy -- but knitting very long tubes on very small DPNs (double pointed needles) has ruined me.  I'm glad they are finished.  Now, I am merely finishing some yoga socks (more). . and I'm ready for my big sweater project, Funky Grandpa Sweater. The original picture from the knitting book, Joy of Socks, below: These were fairly cost efficient as I used Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light wool to knit.  Unfortunately, we are in the middle of a heat wave, with an accompanying drought, and random fires, so it may be awhile for me to finally wear them.   I chose this pattern for my pilates and barre warmups.  And, these leg warmers are indeed WARM!  My link to the project page in  Ravelry  is  HERE - TAKEOUT FOR TWO PROJECT . The model had very very long legs apparently -- I'm not that short either (especially my legs - a 31" inseam and I'...

Butterick 5678 - Classicly tailored shirt

Image
Dear readers, My stash-bustin' continues!  I've recently finished the classic shirt - from Butterick 5678  -- and with tips from Craftsy's Perfectly Tailored Shirt class.  This is a vintage-inspired cotton searsucker (light seer suckering:)) Sorry the photos are so large -- I was trying to capture the details here. It is perfected fitted -- but not perfectly executed.  I highly recommend this pattern, Butterick 5678, a princess seam classic shirt.  I've never been able to buy a shirt off the rack with perfect fit.  So, I'm thrilled.  It was easy to modify this pattern since I've got bodice blocks to compare the pattern with. I'm last to the party with a classic shirt -- but thrilled to have finally made one!  I ran out of fabric 3/4 of the way through the project -- and had to run back to Mood, panicked.  I can't say enough how comfortable this is.  Pamela's video Craftsy class really helped when I got stuck on the exec...
