I haven't made much progress on it in the last few days, but I'm nearing the finish line.
On the sewing front, I started work on a dark green dress for work. I am using Simplicity 8137 View B. I previously made View A in a colorful floral for this year's summer weddings. The fabric for this new make is a forest green 100% cotton broadcloth I bought from onlinefabricstore.com. It'll be perfect for work. Stockings and boots in the winter, sandals in the summer.
I've only just cut out the pieces. I cut out a size 14 skirt and graded from a size 10 bust to a size 14 waist for the bodice. I'm not going to do the sleeves. I haven't gotten to that skill yet. Plus, I don't have a lot of fitted sleeves in my wardrobe. I bother me a bit when wearing. Normally if I need to cover my arms, I throw on a cardigan.
I'm hoping this will take me just a week to sew.
