New Look 6470, Takes 4 and 5
Hello, everyone!
The following projects are probably from late September. I can't remember exactly. My brain is sometimes turned to mush because of overworking. That is the case at the moment.

The top tends to fall off from the shoulder a little. I need to figure a way to attach the shoulders to my bra straps. What's the neatest way to do this, do you think?
Here is a better picture of the skirt, from the same pattern.Thanks to Julie for the picture! :)
(Coincidentally, the purple top shown above was made using the same pattern envelope a year ago.)
I made this skirt because I really don't have enough, and I needed a quick project.
I really like the flounce; I really don't like the elastic at the waist. A zipper would have been much neater and given a smoother waist line; but I didn't have time to alter the pattern, and I needed my sewing fix, quick.
I do like the skirt, nonetheless. I've worn this exact outfit to teach (with the addition of a little make-up. The picture was taken on a laid-back, no-make-up Sunday).
I've never used a pattern that much before. Here are creations 1, 2, and 3 from this pattern. Creations 4 & 5 are above.
Oh! Here are pictures of the whole outfit that also show the sofa cover I made back in August. The landlady left a stunning leather sofa in the flat, and I made a cover for it within a week of my moving in - I was so scared of P'tite Mignonne using the tantalizing surface to sharpen her claws.
The fabric is from Ikea. I was missing about a metre, so the cover is not as well finished as I would like. Still, I'm pretty happy with it - and light grey/cream cat hair doesn't show on it! (the flat is decorated in black and white with red accents, but a black cover just wasn't an option with the furlady gracing this place.)
I believe I only have one project left in the backlog. Haven't sewn in weeks, and it sucks!
Hope you guys are all doing well and have more time to sew than I do.
