BWOF - Year in Review - Part I

I'll be doing this in two parts so bear with me . . .
Thanks Lindsey T for telling us about Picnic. This is the program I used to make the collages.

March 2008 - My first BWOF magazine. I went a bit crazy with this one and made quite a few things out of it. I linked each of these to my PR reviews.
May 2008 - This was my second BWOF and also when I decided a subscription would be a good thing.
  • #105 - Overblouse - I made two version; one wool and one in stretch plaid. I wear the wool one all the time as a layering piece.
  • #104 - Dress with Waist Runching - I never did wear this to wedding for which I made it. It was too cold that day. Instead I wear it in the winter with tights and a knit top underneath.


June 2008 - This was my first magazine that came with the subscription.
  • #106 - Retro Blouse - I was only so-so with this when I made it but I wear it all the time too. I wear it with a light knit top under it to keep warm. I love the length and the drawstring waist tie.
  • #123 - T-shirt with Cut-Outs - I like this but never wear it. Maybe I can wear this this summer when it's warm.
  • #104 - Pants - I love these pants but dislike this color. I'll have to make these again but with a more neutral color.
  • #125 Pants with Hip Flaps - I love these and forgot to add them to the collage.

July 2008

  • #116 - Empire Top - This is made out of black eyelet and I love it. I haven't had many opportunies to wear this but maybe next summer.
  • #140 - Headscarves - I think they are cute; my husband says, "Dime store hooker . . ." You decide.

August 2008

  • #109 - Raglan T-shirt - This is my workout shirt. I wear it when I run indoors on the threadmill.
  • #109 - Skirt with Front Pleat - I like this skirt but don't wear it that often. I should have underlined the fabric. (I just realized that one of these numbers is wrong, I'll have to figure that out. Oops!)
  • #118 - Tunic Dress - I shortened this to top length. I made it out of sweater knit and it's cozy.
