A Coffee Date Dress by Tina!
Well, everyone, after much struggling with WordPress, I have put the Selfish Reader Gallery online! Thanks to everyone who has submitted a photo so far of their Selfish Seamstress pattern creations, and please keep them coming. I can’t believe how pretty and creative they all are- great work Selfish Readers! I had some technical struggles and unfortunately was not able to link to people’s blogs in the photo captions. Right now the gallery photo links to people’s blog URLs if they sent me one, and to the full-sized photo if they did not. This is really not ideal, but I’ve spent about an hour and a half trying different solutions and will have to put off my investigations for another day. Because…
… after a week’s worth of procrastination, I *really* have to get back to sewing the BurdaStyle book coat! It MUST get done this weekend, which means another self-imposed sweatshop for me. Dan’s gone off on a grueling hike, the kitchen is stocked with fruit and cookies, and I’ve got my good buddies Biggie, L.L., Missy, Big Boi, Revened Run and DMC queued up on the playlist to help out. And I’m going to need all the help I can get.

Congrats on the Gallery, must be a thrill to see such lovely clothes made from your pattern!
Am scrabbling up my own WordPress learning curve for biz site revisions, and sympathize with your frustration. I find that wine and chocolate take the edge off those technical difficulties, although I wouldn’t advise indulging until your sewing sessions are over for the day.
Hope the BurdaStyle coat comes together smoothly.

Oh yes, I saw one of these get on the bus last night and thought of your soon-to-be-created gallery! I recognized it immediately.

I’ll bet the cat will be eager to help…especially with a deadline. Off to look at photos! Goody!

Good luck! Now I want to make one of your patterns (even more) so I can have a photo in the gallery! :)

I can’t imagine if I had been chosen for a coat. I can honestly say that I hate this dress I’m working on with a passion! I am so sick of matching up pintucks that I may never include them in a project again. Seriously. I am going to miss a lot of Wii Resort playing with my family today to get this thing done.

I KNEW I liked you for a reason – looks like we sew to similar music. Hehehe. And come on, fess up, do you engage in impromptu dance parties while sewing, as well? Not that I ever do that or anything….
