It's a cloudy Sunday, and I've got a TiVo full of episodes of "Project Runway." What better way to celebrate than to put together a party dress? With the fabric above, I'm starting in on a summer v-neck frock designed by McCall's. If it goes well, I'll post pictures. If it doesn't go well, I'll consider my Sunday well spent, as sewing is one of my preferred forms of therapy. The rhythm of the scissors slicing through fabric, the hum of my sweet Bernina rig ... few things bring me back to my calm center like intently crafting something that has the potential to be beautiful. And if it's not beautiful, I can go back to my tv and watch other, more experienced sewists get verbally flogged by Heidi Klum and feel grateful that the only ones mocking my creation are my ungrateful kitties.
