another advance 3929

still loving this pattern, advance 3929. this time i made view 3, a sweetheart neckline with a cap sleeve. learning from my first outing i redrew the bodice pattern slightly, taking in the sides to more of a 32 bust range, and altering the waist gathers slightly to accommodate my figure. this had the added benefit of reducing some of the excess fabric i had seen across my shoulders in my first version, so, encouraged by success, i took apart and re-assembled my first version in order to make these fitting changes. it was love at first sight all over again!


fabric, of course, liberty of london tana lawn mystery print that i got at B&J in NYC. i first saw it late last summer and was struck by the whimsy and cuteness of it--it seems to be little birds (or bees) buzzing around a bit of foliage, interspersed over lovely pink polka dots. i can't find a picture or name for it online anywhere, and they do not seem to have it anymore at the liberty mothership in london, nor at shaukat. B&J, however, have it still, and in two colorways, no less, but the website is slightly out of date.



you can't see in the picture, but i finished this piece off with a self-fabric belt made by the amazing pat's custom buttons and belts in california. i cannot say enough about how positive an experience i had with this service. my full, gushing review can be found on patternreview, along with photos of the two other belts i had done and the 200 buttons.

Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any suggestions?

Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an
established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog?
I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? With thanks

Hello there! Quick question that's completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be able
to correct this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share.
Thank you!

Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it
from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks
would really make my blog jump out. Please let me
know where you got your design. Thanks a lot

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though
you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre
talking about, why waste your intelligence on just
posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

Hi there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know
a few of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I
think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.

Howdy great blog! Does running a blog such as this take a great deal of work?
I've absolutely no expertise in computer programming but I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyway, if you have any ideas or techniques for new blog owners please share. I know this is off subject however I just needed to ask. Thanks!

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and
gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.

There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off
topic but I had to tell someone!
