I made a bunch of new stuff on Saturday:
Simplicity 2605. Easy going together, but I picked the wrong size! I made a 14, should have made a 12. Still it has been quite a while since I attempted a zippered skirt, and this one isn't bad. I'll probably make another one and Goodwill this one.
A turtleneck from the February issue of La Mia Boutique. It's basically a turtle neck with gathers at the neck. Only I screwed up the neck. There are more gathers on one side and hardly any on the other. I may just turn this into a crew neck tshirt. Also, I made a size 44 (which according to my research, should be a size 10 in American RTW. But, this is quite loose on me all over, particularly in the shoulders. I think the whole thing needs to be taken in. I'm disappointed it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but I think it's salvageable and I love the loud, loud print. I will try this again in a different fabric and the next size or two down.
Of all this weekend's projects, this one turned out best. It's Vogue 8597, lengthened into a dress. Can't wait to wear this one to work.
