Today, is Monday, March 25th -- Me Made Monday: I'm wearing V8541 Black Pants and a Red RTW top
Faye of Faye's Sewing Adventure is hosting a new sew a long.... And, I put my name on the list to make an Essential TOP!
Of course, as soon as I signed up to participate in the sew-a-long. There's a problem at work and I need to work OT - to help get the issue resolved. So, I didn't do as much as I hoped this weekend, but I have at least made a start.
1) I have assembled all of the materials that I will need: fabric, zipper, thread, bobbin, and sewing kit
2) I read through all of the instructions (really, I'm a visual person - I have to see it in my mind before I can do it)
3) I cut my pattern pieces.... This took some time. I debated between cutting a size 18 and a size 20. Although, either size will likely be too big. Since, I'm still learning about making an FBA and, I don't want to make a shirt that's too small. I decided to cut the size 20. I can make a big shirt smaller, but too small is just too small.
I really should make a muslin before cutting my fashion fabric. I know I should, but I like to jump all in (I know, famous last words). So, I'll be cutting into my zebra print fabric for this project. If it's any consolation - it's 100% cotton and I can get more cotton fabric.
I didn't need to pre-treat the fabric because I've already done that. I will iron the fabric before I cut out the pieces.
Needles Up,
Always Audrey
