Tracin' today

I was in the mood to trace more WBOF patterns. Some days, you couldn't pay me to trace, but today, the mood struck.

The first was from a 2005 issue. The website's archives don't go back that far, so I'll have to take a photo in order to post. I will do that--maybe tomorrow. It's a blouse that I really liked and intended to make, but never did. Maybe now that I'm wanting to make a couple of white blouses,this one will finally get sewn. I have pulled out the white blouse weight pieces of fabric from the stash.

The second was this pants pattern from a 2006 issue. The reason for this? I've got a bee in my bonnet to perfect a waist band pants pattern--a TNT. (I still love my Louise Cutting One Seams elastic waist, and I'm happy with that fit.) I have a couple of patterns that I use that are really close, but I want to improve, if possible. I like the curved waistband; there are no pockets to contend with; appears pretty straight forward--simple pattern with which to begin.

I still intend to make the jeans, but I've got to find some denim, and I haven't even looked yet. As I said before, I will like try to tweak that jean pattern after this next version which I hope will be a good wearable.

There is another blouse pattern I want to trace; I think it's from a 2005 or 2006 BWOF. Sorry, I don't have it in front of me now. It will not be white, but a print--hopefully silk. By the way, did you look at any of the silk that Fashion Fabrics Club has on sale? I've resisted so far, but the sale is still on.......... I think I may have to get a couple of pieces.

In fact, maybe I'll click on that website right now..........think maybe the mojo is inching back some more........
