Since we are talking about fashion...McCall's put up their Winter/Holiday 2007 patterns and here are the ones that I "MUST" add to my Fall 2007 Sewing.
This is SO me! I mean...seriously! I love this dress.And it shall be mine!
I don't know if I will make this, but I love the cut of this. NOT that pocket...lol

That's gorgeous on you! Great job. I can't imagine sewing - it seems very daunting to me.
Posted by: jillian | September 12, 2007 at 09:45 AM
Your sewing skills are amazing! The top looks great on you. Way to tackle pleats! I started dabbling in sewing last summer and put the machine away to focus more on my knitting. I'm going to pull it out again this fall to work on my sewing. Your projects are an inspiration!
Posted by: jsins | September 12, 2007 at 09:58 AM
You all ready know I love the top!
Posted by: erica b. | September 12, 2007 at 10:08 AM
i absolutely LOVE the pleats in that top! cute, the color choice really sets it off!!!
all those designs and patterns, man i wish i could sew in a straight line, i've gotta take the old kenmore my mom gave me and take a class at jo-ann's or something, LOL!
Posted by: anna | September 12, 2007 at 10:15 AM
I love the top. You look fantastic in it. Thanks for the trend alert. I'm mad now. lol I saw a pattern from Simplicity for this past year that had a similar shawl collar. I'm hot that I didn't buy it, or did I. Now I have to go check. I'm heading over to IW to give a listen.

Beautiful job on the shirt! It looks great on you too! :)
Posted by: Jude | September 12, 2007 at 10:54 AM
Great job hon! And you so have to make that jacket!
Posted by: Christy | September 12, 2007 at 11:30 AM
i need a coat....
Posted by: Carmell | September 12, 2007 at 12:14 PM
Your top turned out GREAT! It fits you perfectly and I love the fabric you used for that design. It looks like a designer pattern--(I like Vogue patterns)!
Posted by: Diann | September 12, 2007 at 03:24 PM
EXCELLENT! I love that top, you did a great job!
Posted by: Neecha | September 12, 2007 at 04:00 PM
You really have the mad skills!! I have been thinking about taking a sewing class because my skills make me mad! (big difference).
Posted by: Larjmarj | September 12, 2007 at 05:41 PM
I love the top. So pretty. You make me wish I could sew. I just can't get the hang of it so I will just drool over the things you make.
Posted by: Lori | September 12, 2007 at 06:13 PM
The top is cute. I saw the pattern but I didn't think it would look good on me. Maybe when I lose some weight! LOL!
Keep up the good work!
Posted by: Cassandra | September 12, 2007 at 06:29 PM
Very cute!
Posted by: Christie | September 12, 2007 at 06:31 PM
What a cute blouse on you. The color is fabulous. I really like that skirt pattern too but you are so right about the pocket. What were they thinking?
Posted by: Tamara | September 12, 2007 at 06:34 PM
Congrats on your first Vogue! It's really cute!
Posted by: yaiAnn | September 13, 2007 at 01:16 AM
I HATE YOU!!!!! I LOVE the top though.lol You have alot of talent.....just STANK!!!!
Posted by: Erica C. | September 13, 2007 at 07:33 AM
Love the top!!! You are giving me too many great ideas!!! I won't ever be done sewing. LOL Actually thank you very much, I can be somewhat fashion challenged at times! LOL
Posted by: Monica | September 13, 2007 at 10:26 AM
I love your top! I'm finally catching up on my blog surfing. Kayla is such a cute twirler. I always wanted to learn how to learn how to twirl a baton. I was on drill team and twirled flags and rifles a little. Now when I come to Alabama you have to teach me to how to do all the crafts and hobbies you have and your little twirler can show me how to twirl. I'm digging that new Angie Stone song. I haven't heard it before. Girl, you know I love me some college football too! And of course love the cute pic of AJ sleeping. He's such a cutie! Take care.

I love that top! I'm adding this to my "to-do" list (as if it isn't long enough already!).
Posted by: Stephanie | September 13, 2007 at 04:29 PM
Beautiful patterns!
Posted by: Maria | September 14, 2007 at 12:27 AM
That's fabulous! I want to sew my own clothes too *sigh*
Posted by: J | September 15, 2007 at 07:51 AM
OMG, I LOVE that top on you! It's funny, I didn't expect it to look good on a 'real' (read, somewhat busty) woman, but yours looks fantastic! I'll have to check this pattern out.
Posted by: Gorgeous Things | September 16, 2007 at 01:34 PM
I absolutely love your top. This is one of my fall picks. After seeing yours, I'm anxious to make it.
Posted by: Cennetta | September 16, 2007 at 07:15 PM
What a lovely top! The neckline is especially flattering on you.
Posted by: Solidia | September 18, 2007 at 12:20 PM
I just lovew that top. I am getting that pattern asap! Love the colour too.
Posted by: Meg | September 20, 2007 at 12:14 AM
that top is just fantastic! It looks wonderful. I am a very beginner sewer and I want to make tops as none fit me right in the shops. You have inspired me to give it a go. I was not sure about sewing clothes for myself as anything I have knitted for myself has not turned out well.
