Finished! Simplicity 2443

I finally finished my first Cynthia Rowley pattern.

I am seriously glowing with pride and I have to say I love the results.

Remember this monstrosity?

All stunning photography is my own

And this curious purchase?

Add a lot of seam ripping (serging wastes so much thread!), some creative seaming . . .

one yard of black knit, two yards of black woven, trials, tears, and despair over one ruffler foot, two sewing machines and one in reserve and we have . . .

Simplicity 2443

Cute right?

Hopefully I'll get a chance to wear it out this weekend.  My boobs won't be lumpy so that should be way more exciting for everyone.
