I can't take credit for the title, that is actually from Steve Jobs. I really can't imagine him saying it, but I thought it was funny. :P
So, why am I talking about buttons?? Well, it's because my darling husband sat down tonight and helped me make my first ever button for the blog! and by "helped me" I mean he did it and I sat there and said, "I want pink on it" "We need more colors" :P I did do a little bit in photoshop, though.
Anyways!! I have the buttons for the sewalong. Go ahead and copy and paste 'em to your blog or you can print it out and hang it on your fridge :P whatever works for you.
Also, I officially started a flickr group so that all of the images are in one spot. Anyways, I just want a casual sew along, no strict deadlines or anything. But, if you follow the posts while I post them or follow them a year after the fact, I would love to see anything you made (hence the flickr group).
I am pretty excited, can you tell? Not going to lie, I think I may be more excited to make another shirtwaist dress...I may have a problem :P
Yay! This is going to be fun- I need more practical/pretty dresses!
ReplyDeleteJust found your site through Aft Agley - so happy to have found another blog to follow.
ReplyDeleteHello! I have been wanting to make the shirtwaist dress ever since I got Gertie's book. It also seems like just the thing to get me back in the habbit of sewing/blogging!
ReplyDeleteSomeone has a clever hubby!!! The button looks perfect...J
ReplyDeleteJust got my button posted on my blog. I am very excited about this. Fabric and notions for this project will be about all the spending I will be doing in February because I have to whittle down that stash of fabric I have!
ReplyDeleteI just bought my fabric this weekend and I will trace the pattern this week and then...I'll be ready to go! When do we start?
DeleteMy interwebs is down :( and it won't be fixEd until late this week. I'm on my iPhone right now...an old iPhone that doesn't register when I touch the screen sometimes!!! Grrrrr!!!
DeleteAnyways, I was planning on starting on February 4th...so next Monday. But, if you're ready to go the start tracing!! The dress is a dream to put together :)
