I hope you'll take a moment and list your top five sewing blogs on this post by tomorrow evening. I really would like to compile a listing that encompasses your ideal blogs, as well as, mine.
Thanks for all of your very kind comments on the Painted Wool Herringbone Pieces. It seems as if the vest was the hit piece and the vest/skirt combo the most liked. I have to tell you that I haven't worn that outfit to work yet, probably because I haven't been in the mood to change clothes. Most of this week has been spent in pants outfits.
I do have a wearability report on the Painted Wool Herringbone dress because that did get worn to work. I honestly didn't understand why the pics of the dress seemed to have excess fabric from the waist down. I mean I made the dress exactly like I always do. But in wearing it all day, I really noticed that extra space in the thigh area. So I will be taking it in about an inch on each size removing the excess fabric and pegging the hem a little. I believe this will solve the problem...I'll post another pic after I've fixed the dress.

Finally I'm not really a Winter Olympics kinda girl. I mean all of that snow, ice and cold not my cup of tea. However I did watch the women's and ice dancing figure skating but I really bring this up because the Olympics is over this weekend. Regular programming comes back to television and Scandal will be back for eight episodes without repeats starting Thursday evening...I can't wait!
I have something to do tomorrow so I won't be in the sewing cave. I'll be back Sunday to finish up the brown knit dress. I'm halfway through the construction and have an idea to add a little sass to the dress, so I'm looking forward to spending some time in the cave to complete it. I hope you will get to spend quality time with your sewing machine this weekend...
...as always more later!
