A few weeks ago I bought a Olympus E-PL3. A small camera with interchangeable lenses, and with the right adapter even suitable to take photo's with old M42 and Minolta lenses. I didn't expect to like it this much... what a great little camera! It has even a nickname... Sir Ollie!
I tried some new photography, some more simple photo's. And damn... that's hard to do!! Please press "L" for a better view.
Posting pattern review and blog post shortly...
For now, this is the front yoke detail shot for a dress I have wanted to sew since last summer. Now it is too cold to wear it! Cynthia Rowley for Simplicity pattern 2584. I did not line the yoke, and instead piped it -- which may have lost some of the sharpness of the yoke corners -- but I am still pretty happy with the way it turned out.
Here's the pattern review. And it's blogged here.
The skirt in view 1 & 2 and the mini-pantskirt in views 3 & 4 with patch pockets have a side zipper and waistband. View 1 is regular length. Views 1 & 4 have shaped pockets with button trimmed flaps. View 3 has top-stitched contrasting round pockets with flaps.

~♥~ Rockabilly Sexy Low Back & Featured Squared Neckline with Sectioned Gore Skirt ~♥~
A nice classy lady look with some "sexy" going-on! This beautiful dress pattern features an awesome squared neckline that extends "low" down the back to expose a little "sexy back"! And we will also go sleeveless to show off our sleek arms. With a nicely fitted bodice & a skirting that is sections, all eyes will be on YOU!
I like to mix fabrics in my designs, so I think making the dress a solid color with a lace overlay on either the outside skirt sections or inside skirt sections and overlay the lace on that pretty squared, sexy low back neckline!

Modifications/Alterations:
This is the second shirtdress I've made in the last couple of months. Shirtdresses are everywhere. Did you see the one Michael made on Project Runway last night? It was smokin' hot! Shirtdressing is very popular right now... just walk into any department store or boutique and there they are. I was inspired by the details of the Diane vonFurstenberg <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?FOLDERfolder_id=282574491208767&PRODUCTprd_id=845524446141848&R=663231545469&P_name=Diane+vonFurstenberg&sid=10D11565C966&ASSORTMENTast_id=1408474395222441&bmUID=1155688457038">Hillevi Shirtdress, so I decided to modify this pattern to have a similar look. There were a several alterations that I made:I lengthened front and back pieces by 2" because I felt I was a lot taller than the model on the envelope.I lengthened the sleeves by 1".Re-shaped pockets on lower edge corners from round to square.Changed pockets by adding a pleat and a flap. As a guide, I used the pocket pieces from View A.Omitted belt loops (carriers).Topstitched collar.Even though after completing this dress, I wish I had used the long-sleeve version of McCall's 4769, because (1) the bodice and the skirt are cut separately and I could have made the bodice in one size without a FBA and the skirt in one size larger. And also (2) the skirt in that pattern is cut on an A-line which would have captured the look of my inspiration dress more. Overall, I like this dress and I do plan on wearing it. I will probably accessorize it with a wider belt for more of a cinched waist. This was a very easy pattern to follow since this was a Threads Magazine Collection pattern and they are known for their "Step by step to sewing success!" instrustuctions. Will I sew this one again? Probably so, I'm already thinking of doing Version A in corduroy.
