Day 21-BurdaStyle

This week i managed to pull my brain together and sew my Liz blouse in the correct size.  It turns out i HAD cut out the correct size last week for my muslin, what had happened though is that my printer settings had somehow been changed so printed the pattern out larger than it should have been.  Oh well.  So far i have the blouse mostly sewn up except for the inverted pleats that i intend to sew into the princess seams on the front.  I've started these just below the bust and am thinking of making them around 8-10cm wide.  Then it's just a matter of hemming the blouse and i can wear it.  I am thinking of adding a belt like band just under the bust which i will attach at the side seams.  Either that or using some pretty ribbon to tie all the way around.  What do you think?  Read my column here.

I'm taking part in the Lydia sewalong this month. I plan to alter the t-shirt into the v neck dress and i'll also add extra to the front for my bump.  I'll be using this red jersey fabric i've had sitting in my stash for who knows how long.

Oh, guess who got the Gocco to work this afternoon :)  My first attempt failed since i didn't use carbon pen/pencil to draw the image.  After re-reading the instructions i discovered a black crayon could be used so Mia drew a little picture and it worked!  She printed off a dozen or so prints onto some scrap card and was very pleased with herself.  She's been pestering me to have a go since i bought it.  I'm going to pick up a suitable pen tomorrow hopefully and get cracking on my postcard swap.  I LOVE gocco :)
