Pattern Review – Simplicity 2409 Flowered Top

August 8, 2011 by Sandy

I wasn’t too sure about all the ruffly little flowers on this top, but I’m so glad I went ahead and added them.  If the top is still worth wearing once all this frouffiness goes out of style, well, I can just…

Pattern Review-Simplicity 2219-Day and Evening Dresses

July 30, 2011 by Sandy

I originally bought this pattern because I thought the sleeveless version would make a nice nightgown. Why is it all the nightgowns I see out there either, on one extreme, look like they’re made for somebody’s granny, or on the other, for ladies-of-the-evening? …
