I’m a moron…

I’m such a fkn moron….in my previous post I stated I was going to make the Amy Butler Cabo Halter.  Well, I am…and it is in progress.  But…WTF possessed me to make it out of silk?!!!!  Dammit…I love silk, it is SO pretty..yet SO slippery.  If you look at it wrong, it moves on you…yes trust me, it does.

So, I was able to put the top halter portion together and had grandiose plans to put the zipper in the side – well said MORON, forgot to adjust for that so now the zipper is going in the back.  SIGH.  All this, just to have a pretty top to wear next month in Hawaii.

Tuesday night (Monday night is software class so no sewing for me) will be the cutting of the chiffon for the lower front and back pieces…that won’t be fun.  I still have not decided how to finish the bottom….a rolled hem might be in order.  PLUS, the finished length is 13″, I think I’ll make it 9″ so it ends at high hip for me.  This is all assuming that I manage to survive this little sewing venture and not torch it with the nearest lighter.

wish me luck, please.

On a much better note -  a lovely friend/coworker is coming up for the week for work and stuff and staying at my house!  I can’t wait…she’s such a wonderful woman…I want to be just like her when I grow up – smart, funny, beautiful, competitive, artsy…I will just pass on the teen boys though.  Love ya, Jeri!!
