Hello Lovelies!

First, I want to thank everyone for your get well comments.  It was so nice of you and I really appreciate it.  Thank you so much!

I had a planned trip to Atlanta and had nothing to wear.  I left on Thursday night so, during the day I power sewed.  I made two jumpsuits in one day!  I can't believe I accomplished that and one of the jumpsuits was a pattern mashup.  I will do a post with more info and pics once I wear them.  I also finished and wore Vogue 1027.

 I am in LOVE with this dress!  When I first saw reviews about it, I knew I had to have it!  It is an OOP pattern, but I was able to get it on eBay.  I was one determined sewinista :)  I purchased the fabric from Habermans.  There was just something about this fabric pattern that spoke to me every time I went, so I finally broke down and purchased 3 yards.  It is an ITY Knit.  I love the coloring throughout the dress.  As I was constructing the dress, I had the funniest familiar feeling, like I have seen this coloring before.  And then it hit me!  It reminds me of "The Flash"  Can you see it?  The yellow lightening bolt running through the print along with the red of his suit?  Lol!  Yes I am a huge comic book/Marvel fan.  If you have not seen "The Flash" on CW, I highly recommend it!

Now on to my review on the pattern.  It was extremely easy to follow and sews up nicely.  I love the full skirt.  I did not use elastic in the waist as called for since it has an attached belt.  Also, I read reviews that stated that the pattern ran big so I sewed more than the 5/8 seam allowance.  If you have this pattern, or can get your hands on it, I highly recommend it!  I plan to make it again a few times.  One in red and another one with modifications to make the skirt floor length. 

Until next time, Have a Gratifying Day!
