See Queen Bess for a detailed review - I picked up the issue after reading her review. I LOVE that Brioche Bodice. I don't own any bulky cotton to make it and Colinette Wigwam is fifteen bucks a skein on eBay, which makes it a $75 tank top. Ouch - though it would be nice to find a substitute, it really needs something hand-dyed. I also love Pink Mimosa, the Bonita Shirt and the Lotus Blossoom Tank. I skimmed, but did not read in detail, Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer's primer on lace - I will read it in detail later. I like the simple patterns illustrating the article, (at least #1 and #3, not crazy about #2).
The carousel horse on page 36! How cute is that?
It's going to be in the mid-90s again today. I need to hit Petsmart and Costco early, before the heat saps the last of my energy, then spend some quality time de-cat-hairing this house. Ugh. My weekends are just so damn glamorous I can hardly stand it.
i got my copy a few weeks ago, and hand't really gotten into it. now i'm inspired!
ReplyDeleteand yeah, my weekend was devoted to cleaning (both mine & my fiance's house, he hurt his foot, and his doctor told him to stay off it, ugh)
Thanks for the plug. I really did love that issue and the fact that it was a summer issue just made it all the more impressive.
ReplyDeleteThis must have been the Clean It Up weekend.
Hold on tight to Monday.
