After picking up my new (and very cool Omingrid 8 1/2 x 24", nonslip) ruler and mat from Joann's. I thought I would head to Hancock Fabrics and was tempted by the latest Kwik Sew pattern - 3694. After surfing the Victoria Secret catalog, I noticed a lot of styles very similar to this pattern and couldn't resist... plus I need some new summer tops.

I also managed to cut out the material for my Ottobre jacket (I've put up the info on the sidebar if you're interested)! I closed myself in a quiet room so I wouldn't make any mistakes - between matching stripes and remember what needed seam allowances, I wanted to be sure I didn't forget anything. Now on to changing the serger thread so I can get started sewing. By the way, if you're interested in joining an Ottobre sew along, you can find the group here.
