...equals no sewing AT ALL. I always feel the need to explain blog absences, but I certainly don't want to bore you with details. But since my last post my work-life just hit full speed. Whenever that happens, blogging/sewing has to simmer in a back burner position. A girl's got to do what a girl has to do.
I did manage to make a Hancock run yesterday because, of course, there were 2 more Vogue and 1 McCall's patterns I'd convinced myself I had to have. And as we all know gotta get them while the sale is in progress.

I avoided this cute little number when it first hit the shelf. Why?, you may ask. I ashamedly admit that as much as I liked this easy, breezy top alas it had a dreaded collar band. But the more I thought about it, the more I really wanted it, so the pattern now resides at my house. After a discussion with myself about the collar band I decided that I needed to make time for a good old fashioned practice session.
I dug out some practice fabric and cut some collar and neck bands from the pattern.

Results: The band of #1 looks better than the band of #2 & 3. From the looks of things I think I need to go back to the drawing board. I've got to be able to get the band equally proportioned on both sides...
