What I'm working on...Vogue 8904

I've spend the last couple of days working on my own version of Vogue 8904.


The starving waif shown on the pattern envelope above certainly didn't inspire me but there are sewing bloggers that did.


After making an FBA, it was clear that adjusting each and every piece was going to be way more work than I wanted, so I just used the pattern as inspiration. After all the work I've done, I decided that my version would have a back with only vertical stripes. I don't want to have to rip out any more hair trying to figure it out. I'm also going to add short sleeves to transition into fall. So far I'm liking it a lot.

  1. LOL @ starving waif. I bought this pattern but probably won't try it until next summer.
