Well, I hope everyone had a nice vacation and no one noticed I wasn't posting. (Haha, seriously, does anyone even read this?) Anyway, I haven't had much to post about, since it has been warm and my sewing room is too hot to sew in these days. I did mostly finish the drawstring pants. They are a little too long, so I need to re-hem them, but they are otherwise finished and fit well. I think the next pair I make, I will make the waistband shorter (this one is a little over 3 inches tall) and will use two vertical button holes for the drawstring instead of one horizontal one. I liked the look of the horizontal buttonhole, but it's not super great. The self fabric drawstring was easy and looks nice, though. I will really try to take some pictures and post them. I also have some pics of some of my zipper bags to post as well.
My most recent project was to make a drape neck top out of some regular cotton knit. It, uh, didn't go as planned. It was really hot in my sewing room, but I wanted to give it a try, so I quickly drafted the pattern from a shirt I already own, and tried to add a drape neck. I really, really need to remember that if I rush things because I'm uncomfortable (hot, hungry, grouchy) then they turn out like crap. I will probably be able to salvage the shirt, but at the moment it's not wearable as anything other than something to cover nakedness in an emergency. *sigh*
