I am headed down to my sewing haven here in a few to sew some patterns from a company that is totally new to me...Green Style Creations. When I commented a while back on not being able to find a raglan t-shirt pattern in my size, someone (sorry I couldn't find the posting) replied that I should try the Green Style Raglan. I downloaded it and while I was there perusing, I also decided to download their tunic as well. In case you haven't figured it out by now, I am a tunic wearing kind of gal.
I would like to honest in that I don't really like downloadable patterns as a whole. All that taping can be a real pain, but I sat down last weekend and in less than an hour had both of these patterns taped together and cut out. I tend to not trace off downloadable patterns until after I have the fit the way I like. It is just too easy to reprint a corner or a couple of pages, and I HATE tracing patterns. Seems too much like work and not enough like play to me.
What I am not sewing now is the beloved tunic that I was so looking forward to. When my fabric arrived from Mood, it was the wrong fabric. I am waiting patiently as they try to locate the correct fabric. It is a real bummer, because I was really really REALLY looking forward to remaking that tunic. I hope that Qiana and the rest of the team at mood are able to locate that bolt and get me the fabric.
I also am not sewing my wrap dress for the Curvy Sewing Collective Wrapalong. I just can't get in the mood for it. It isn't exciting to me at all. I want to do it, I just can't get enthused about it. Hopefully whipping up these two patterns will get me back in the mood.
Also, in case you are wondering my St. John wrap copycat is finished and has been for quite a while. I am just having problems styling itbecause there is a pair of shoes that I need to go with it and can't bring myself to buy.
I have taken myself off the disabled sewers list, hopefully it won't come back to bite me in the end.
