I'M Baaack!!!! Pics ready for the Give-A-Way

Hello Fellow Bloggers:

I took time away  because I felt so overwhelmed with having to many irons in the fire!  Before I signed off, I mentioned having a pattern give-a-way!  Well, I have partially de-stashed some of  the many duplicates.  I feel no sadness over losing them either. lol   My dilemma is deciding how to group them for the drawing!!!  There are over 100 patterns (Misses, children, etc) Vogue, Butterick, Simplicity and McCall's.  Some are OOP and others are fairly recent. 

Any advice on how to group would be helpful.  The Misses size range 8-10, 8-12, 8-14, 14-18 and there are some that are higher, maybe 14-20.  They have never been cut nor traced.  lol.  As soon as "we" meaning you and I, can figure this out I will announce the plans.  I really need your help on this one.  I thought about putting the pattern #s up but that is work!  LOL

I leave you with a few pics of the ever mounting stash to be given away!

Thanks for  dropping by and I await your input!

Until Next Time,
Brenda



 

Topping Those Skirts Off - Pic Heavy

The tops below are so very comfy and I love them. The red top is from Vogue 8323 View C. The fabric is a knit from my collection. This pattern has princess seams, different necklines, bias tape finishing and stitched hems. I chose the scoop neckline with 3/4 length sleeves. Fitting this top is a dream.

The black pullover with 3/4 length sleeves is from Today's Fit by Sandra Betzina Vogue 8151. I love, love this pattern. The fit is figure flattering and the darts just really help create a great fit.

The sleeveless top is from Vogue 2925, which seemed to be a favorite top among bloggers. This top has shoulder pleats and slight side gathers. An easy sew and very attractive top.

Both black tops are made with a knit from my collection. There is an A-Line skirt, too!!! I went overboard when I purchased that knit, try eight yds.

The blue blouse is from Vogue 8193 View A, 3/4 length, pleated sleeves w/cuffs and a collar. The fabrics is from my stash. This top has not gotten any wear so far.

The plaid skirt, as well as the white skirt were made from McCall's 5590 (Pencil skirt). The white skirt is just under the knee lengthwise versus the plaid skirt which is the length from the envelope. I lined the plaid skirt, used boning in the waistband (side seams only) and piped the edges as a cool finish.

Sorry no pics of me in these garments. My photographer is not a really good sport(lol)!!

Until next time,
Brenda
