I noticed on two blogs that I enjoy reading, each mentioned that yesterday was their birthday (Happy Birthday Erica B.'s D.I.Y. Style and StacySews). So I thought I would share with you that today happens to be my birthday (it's even noted on PR's home page as "tcusic"- I feel so special). Today is also the first day of fall.
I would love to be able to say that for my birthday, I completed my entire fall/winter 2007 wardrobe. Actually, I could say that but it would be a total lie, a huge untruth, a gross exaggeration of reality.... In other words, I have not gotten much sewing done.
I did however, pack up my summer clothes and put them away. Yeah, yeah, I know, I am just procrastinating.

Speaking of fall/winter wardrobe, I have found another outfit I would like to sew. It's what Mandy Moore is wearing on the cover of Lucky magazine.
For the skirt I would either draft my on knock-off or use the skirt from V2951. I would only need to smooth out the pleats in the front, widen the waistband/yoke and lengthen the skirt.
For the top, I think M5336 with some modifications would be a good choice. I'm not sure what I will do about the short sweater. Maybe I will hand knit one.
