WIP IT UP Pledge

I, Sandra pledge to finish 3 projects. First, my New Look 6107 blouse, which has been waiting 2 years for buttons... Second, my first Friday Pattern Co avenir jumpsuit -  I planned to wear at Christmas but didn't like the fit so didn't finish it... Third Style Arc Miley Top - I have made this since with adjustments & love it.  My original Miley is too tight on the arms, I added a strip to make the sleeves wider but it was still to tight at the cuff.  So I have unpicked the sleeves again and plan to make the ruffle shorter and seams narrower...  

Thanks Hayley for this WIP challenge, it's made me realise I have quite a few & choose which to focus on.

Go careful Vicki mine came up huge and I know others had the same problem!

Thanks for the tip! I am a bit worried they will be too big, but I've got as far as adding the fly zip and they seem ok so far. Hopefully the waistband won't change it too much 🤞🏻

They are, however, miles too long! I don't usually have to change the length on Tilly's patterns but these are so long I think I'll be chopping a good few inches off the bottom! 

Sewing machine threaded, will need to press all the pieces though as they seem to be scrunched up 😂   I have however finished 3 crossbody bags, they're surprises for friends. 

I'm not doing very well with my WIP challenge 😂.  I've cut out a replacement piece for my liberty top (thankfully found a piece hiding in my stash - very happy).  Then I've cut out a skirt in my classic box paisley fabric, and started cutting out a sagebrush top in a pretty viscose.  (In my defence 😂 I have access to a decent table to cut out which is easier than at home).  I have also taken a jersey top that I chopped up because it was too big and the neck wasn't right and nearly made a camisole with it - which is a win 😀😀😀

Haha Nikki it sounds like you've just added 3 more things to your WIP pile this week!! 

I have completed one of my WIP challenges. I made my husband a shirt, but made a rookie error by sewing the sleeves on the wrong armhole last summer....it's now had the arms removed and swapped over (only taken me 8 months to pluck up the courage!)

I Radiance pledge to finish my Mood Sewciety Trillium shorts and make progress on my yellow shift dress (New Look 6500). I experimented with diagonal pin tucks on this dress and may have messed up the bust darts as a result. I'll finish it to see if it can be salvaged.

Thanks for today's virtual party. Really enjoyed your interview with the Northern Sewl Sisters. Sorry I had to leave early to pick up a friend. I finished both my wips so am happy about that. Fun challenge.

Thank you so much for joining Radiance, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it

So as of Tuesday, March 4, I have traced the pattern, cut the toile, marked the toile.  Next I need to go to JoAnn's to get notions - then baste/sew the toile and try it on.  Hope to have it done soon . . . it is taking longer than I thought.  After fitting and adjustments, the toile pattern pieces will have strips of oceany-blue fabrics sewn on top to create a striped effect with the toile as a lining and then the pattern pieces will be sewn together, hemmed and finished.

Hello!  Once I complete this skirt - do I put it on, photo it and then post it on this site?

Hi Lynn, wow sounds like you've been working hard to get the fit right. If you're comfortable we would love to see the finished skirt. But there's no pressure to do so!
