The office / guest room / craft room has finally been cleaned up so there’s space to stand in the room next to the bed. And, I’m feeling more rested than I have in nearly two years. So where did I leave off….

This pattern has been sitting in my closet gathering dust. Vogue V9004 view B. I love the neckline!

The entire bodice is sewn, with perfect darts and zipper. The sleeve and neckline interfacings are cut. Unfortunately, when I tried it on, the hips are too snug to wear comfortably. The darts are so perfect though! Sigh. It looks like I cut a size 14 and then took in the waist and hips to a size 12.

Maybe someday that’ll be the right size again. For now, it’s documented and heading into storage!

EDIT: I scanned through previous blog posts and found this one where I thought it was genius to use a size 10 waist. Size 10!
