Victory!
Patterns, that is... I did some SEWING FOR MYSELF this weekend. Namely, the Lola Dress from Victory Patterns. I used 2 XL sweatshirts and have enough pieces leftover to make at least 1 sweatshirt for 5 (yippee! more matchy matching!)
i was pretty pleased with the pattern and instructions, of course I changed a few small things... the one issue I had was that the sleeves were crazy tight, like, I had to cut the ribbing off tight. Not sure what's up with that. I mean, yeah, I have a little meat on my arms, but there is no way a grown up arm would've fit in there. That's fine, I like short sleeves anyway.

Check out all that fancy detailing, yo! Big big big pockets- they wrap around to the back. The sweet curved waistline and fitted bust seams- have you ever seen such a fancy sweatshirt dress? I actually modified the construction to reduce some fanciness and increase the easiness. I do love easiness...
Did not get quite as much done as planned this weekend because somebody (who will remain nameless) was being terribly cute and playful and we had to have dance parties and snugglefests. I think I'll manage.
