...but I did get something done this weekend.
And already, I have an excellent reason why I should have been keeping a sewing journal earlier - I just made the precise same mistake on a pattern that I made last time I made it up. I'm making up Butterick 3315, in particular the outfit in the photo, in this adorable skull-and-crossbones polar fleece I found -
That's the front panel - you can't really see it (must get better camera...) but I've put the zip in. Which is kinda my point - I've made this bunting once already, for Miss Morgana, and when I made it for her, I decided a chunky zip would be more in keeping with the style, and I'd just cope with adding a new backstop. It was a pain in the ass, and it didn't work that well. Guess what I thought when I was shopping for the bits and pieces for this one? "I'll get a chunky zip, even though they only come in open versions, not closed, because chunky is just more piratical." Gah. I'm an idiot. Still, at least it's started, even if I did spend FAR too long fighting with the zip.
The other thing on my sewing table is this glorious scarf that the lovely Sally gave me:
It's not really my style to wear as it is - but it's gorgeous fabric. Hopefully, Sally (Hi! *waves*) won't mind too much if I make something pretty to wear out of it. I'm just not sure what, yet... A corset could be pretty, but maybe too obvious. Not sure yet. It may just end up in the stash, or artistically draped over the corner of one of my mirrors!

There's a game coming out for the Wii called Boogie which is a Karaoke game with dancing. Not sure what it will be like, but it does come with wireless Mic.
