| Pattern Review | 5/16/12 2:21 PM | Simplicity - 2443 Misses' Dresses
While I've had Simplicity 2443 in my pattern collection for a while, the Best Of pattern contest really made me pull it out and get to work on it.

- I cut a size 10 shoulders, sleeves, and graded to a 12 at the waist.
- For a change, since this is a...more... |

| Pattern Review | 4/27/12 12:09 PM | BurdaStyle Magazine - 06-2011-114 Pants
These pants are easy to sew! They are a 1.5 dot pattern in the magazine, really, really easy.

I've made this dress before, last year, but evidently, I never reviewed it. That's a pity, this dress is one of my favorites, I wear it all the time, and I love it.
This time around, I didn't even bother looking at the instructions - I looked quickly at my last version, and got to it. The pattern ...more... |

About Me
I've only been sewing since 2007, but I have to say, I'm completely addicted. Especially as garments I make are not automatically headed for the trash. More commentary at weekendcrafting.blogspot.commore
