One of my 2009 Sewing Goals is to add more color to my wardrobe. Since my sundress is black, I thought I'd spice it up a bit with this floral print and the Butterick 5223 jacket. I made the view "A" jacket, but lengthened the hem and the sleeves. I also added a ruffle to the sleeve. Although I really love pink, and I really need more color in my wardrobe - I hope that this isn't too much pink or color for that matter.
I also got my kids to take a picture of me wearing my new top yesterday, I really love it too.
Julia awarded me this great friendship award. I wanted to post it tonight, but I've got to get to bed right now. Hopefully I'll have time to spread the award around before the weekend. Thank you so much Julia, it means so much to me.
