Me, procrastinate? No. Never.

Um, this dress is cutting it a little close to my deadline. But... it's Jan. 28, and all I have to do is hem the lining and figure out what on EARTH happened with the zipper that's making it not zip all the way to the top.

This is what I learned along the way for this project, which I started... two weeks ago?

1. After sewing a velvet dress, doing knit fabric is easy peasy.
2. If I actually bother to cut out the dress, the rest of it goes quickly.
3. I hate buttonholes.

Honestly, if I'd actually kept doing the dress, and had done it consistently, I would have been finished ages ago. But I never bothered to cut it out until after Martin Luther King Day, and then I didn't do anything with the pieces for a while. And for some reason, that darn dress just wouldn't stitch itself. Clothes these days.

So this is Vogue 8442. I did it in a lightweight knit fabric, which feels like a brushed knit. So soft. So nice. Lined with a black lining.

On me, it doesn't look nearly as tentlike as it does on the dressform. I'm chalking this up to the fact that my arms and sleeves don't usually hang next to my boobs at all time, and thus you can actually see form definition when I wear it.

I can't remember how long I've had this pattern. But let's put it this way: When I bought it, it wasn't out of print. The fabric was part of the Joann Mixed Media collection... which I can also no longer find online. I think I bought that in 2010 or early 2011.
