I completed the t-shirt maxi dress from the night before. I took in another 2" or so in the center back seam added the binding around the collar and then I started thinking that I wanted to try using my double needle but it wasn't in the spot it should have been so I just completed it by tucking it under twice and making a straight stich across. Turns out I like the dress and no longer think its night gown looking. Like I said before its comfy and something that I can wear all day without a problem.
After I finished the dress my 5 year old an I headed out to the petting farm for our cousin birthday party. I stayed there a little longer than I wanted. After leaving we went to the grocery store and I notice that my son wasn't breathing good. I gave him a few puffs from his inhaler and a few hours later a breathing treatment.
Before bed I cut out pattern V7997 and added a few inches because I wanted to make it a dress. I was a little confused about the pattern placement but did it my way and went on to bed.
Day 17
DIY V7997 VOGUE
I woke up today to my son complaining about his breathing so I called into work made him a same day appointment and took him in. He received another breathing treatment, liquid steroids, a change in his script and we headed home. After we woke up from our nap I started on the V7997. Instead of making it as a shirt I added a 17 inches to the waist line and made it a dress. The directions are easy to follow. However AGAIN this dress is too big. I'm not sure as to what I'm doing wrong, I measures for my bust and hips and the pattern says cut on the 18. Well I took in a 1/2 and inch on both sides and still don't think it fits properly. I had to take in a half and inch on the sleeves and yes I do think that this needs to be a little more snug. This is not my style and is something that I haven't worn in the past, however I plan on wearing it to one of my two friends birthday party that will take place at the club or a bar. I think that the pattern on the material is beautiful however I wish I would have chose the direction of the prints a little better. I guess you live and you learn. I'm going to rock this dress anyway.

| I would really like for the front and back pattern to match up. I'm going to have to work on that with the next print pattern I cut out |
I have now decided with my son being sick and life getting in the way I will post every day however not add the pics until Sunday night unless I can get someone other than my 5 year old to snap a photo. I just cant fit in work, sewing, amateur photo shoot, and blogging. This is a lot of work and I respect others that post every day. I was going to have my 13 year old snap some pics today but he was outside and when he came in the sun was going down and the pics was very dark.
Tomorrow Goal: I have the fabric I want to use, its a red and white knit print I purchased from Joanns from the red tag table a few months back. I'm a little undecided on what pattern I will use. I'm thinking of using
Burda 7866
or V1291
