We had a storm knock our cable out and we had to have the entire house rewired. Ironically, our appointment time for the repair happened to be during our lovely blackout so the repair was delayed even more. I am so glad to be back online and watching tv again. I did get some sewing in though while the tv and internet was down...isn't it amazing how tempting surfing PR is? I am assuming everyone is busy cutting patterns and pre-washing their fabrics... I absolutely can't wait to start to see the progression of these tops.

I think I'm getting bogged down in my sewing by being in 2 swaps and I still haven't made my (non fittied) blouse for the PR weekend blouse sew-along. I'm seeing a lot of good ideas out there though. I may just be a lurker:-) ------ blog: encue.blogspot.com Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6)

I don't know if I will be using it for this contest, but I bought it at the Joann's sale last weekend, and it's so cute that I just couldn't wait to jump in. For the contest, I think I want to try 1915. I have a stretch charmeuse in black with tiny polka dot-like pink hearts that will be perfect for it. -- Edited on 2/29/08 11:04 AM -- ------ "Creativity is the residue of time wasted."

The contest starts tomorrow and I haven't even decided on a style, yet. I'm still going back and forth between knocking something off and sewing as is from a pattern.

I especially like the first vogue pattern. I may have to add that to my stash. -- Edited on 2/29/08 11:19 AM -- ------ - Deepika Founder, PatternReview.com Blog: http://www.deepikablogs.com

I have a blouse drawn up in PMB4 but I'm not sure if the collar/neck treatment qualifies. It's a Revere Lapel, which is really just an extra wide facing which turns open. Picture below. '/> Princess seams, my favorite! I have not decided on fabric yet. I have a lot of blouse materials to choose from in the craft closet... ------ Susan Norman, OK http://www.susinok.com

No problems! I was a bit worried when you hadn't posted for a while. I'm glad to hear it is all fixed, although I bet your hip pocket is a lot lighter. I'm all signed up. I dug out several fabrics yesterday plus twenty or so patterns. I think I've narrowed it down but I may still change my mind. I tend to do that. I'm hoping to sew a muslin this weekend to decide if I'm happy with my choice or if I need to start with something else. ------ Belinda. Melbourne, Australia http://sew-4-fun.blogspot.com/

They both have slight fitting issues and it will be nice to have a place were people can help me fit it correctly. I'm excited. I just got my fabric last night. ------ dawn www.twoontwooff.blogspot.com

I'm either going to make Butterick 4985 or Jalie 2322. I love that Butterick pattern! I was going to use that for my pattern, but I want to put a dolman sleeve on it, so I'll won't be starting on it yet. The Jalie one looks like a good basic too. If you could sort out your fitting issues it'll make a great TNT. What fabric did you get? -- Edited on 2/29/08 7:59 PM -- ------ "Creativity is the residue of time wasted." Albert Einstein.
