I'm coming along on my little shirtdress I mentioned
here. Actually, it is complete except for the buttons, which are winging (or rolling, more likely) their way here from
Sawyer Brook at the moment. I already made my buttonholes, so I hope I don't regret that... like if the buttons are a millimeter larger than advertised.
Here is a shot at the hem. The fabric has a border print that looks like embroidery. I stitched over the scallop-edged print with a narrow zigzag and trimmed the fabric for a scallop hem. The white you see in the photo is the bottom of the button band.
Since I am just waiting for buttons, I also started my next project, Colette Patterns'
Macaron. I've admired this pattern for awhile but always passed, thinking "it's not really my style." You know what? I just like it, so apparently it IS my style. :-) I love the example photo so much, I'm basically replicating it with my fabrics. Here are all the bodice pieces with the darts pinned and ready to sew.
