I'll Be On-Task Tomorrow . . .

I hate stopping when I've got a project almost done. I love this dress though so I'm glad I finished it up. I'll be wearing this Monday with tights. Here it is washed out so you can see the details. I'm miffed that the sleeves belled out like that at the top but I'm not ripping out the serger threads. It's because the band is just slightly bigger than the sleeve opening. Oops.

The actual fabric is closer to this color. It is a very dark eggplant purple wool knit from Gorgeous Fabrics. It is much thicker than the other fabric and it pulled the hem way down so I ended up cutting of about 5 inches off the bottom.

I added a center back seam to the back of the pattern. If I make this raglan top with the jewel neck I'll be adding the center back seam for shaping purposes. It really is a nice fitting raglan top.


Enjoy! I'll write a full review tomorrow. What is up with Bloglines today?? I know people have posted things but nothing is showing up in mt blog roll. Annoying.
