DownUnder: Boho Paisley Muumuu

First, I'd like to say I did not start out to make a muumuu of any sort.  It turned into one, I'm guessing because it drapes from the bust line which is never a good thing on me.  It didn't take too long.  I nabbed the fabric from WalMart the previous evening and ran a pre-wash.

 I actually sort of like the fabric even though it's not my normal style.  I wish it matched better in the center front, but I was in a hurry and didn't line my fold up correctly.

Pattern: Simplicity It's So Easy!  E2034
Time to Complete: About 5 hours
Worn: Not yet.  Only for the pictures.
Fit: 8.5 on a 10 point scale.  Not much to worry about here except the bust facing.
Mods: I added vintage lace to the bottom because it seemed to need something.
Make Again: Yes
Cost: Pattern $1.89; Fabric: $9; Notions: Vintage lace from stash
Final Cost: $10.89

Sew Weekly

I've just joined the Sew Weekly.  Frankly, I'm obsessed with the Sew Weekly and Mena Trott's dresses and have been following it off and on since she started it.  The idea that I can make nearly everything suddenly doesn't seem so far away.  Using my fabric stash and breathing some fresh air into it is exciting.  Getting dressed seems exciting again!  I can't wait to see what 2012 brings!
