I was pleased with the way the bodice was going in the intial rendering, and the fact that it came together rather quickly was a plus. After I attached the 5 (!) panels of ruffled skirt... well, it kind of lost me. Maybe it's because I know spring isn't right around the corner. Or maybe I know I need to get to the gym more before I'd ever even wear it in public. At any rate, I've cast off the strappy poppy dress and moved on to bigger and better things.
Leather :)
I have juuuuuust enough of this forest green suede for the BWOF 08-12-118 skirt.
The suede has a beautiful silky softness that makes you want to rub your cheek against it. The piece measures about 50" square, and I got it for only $25 during the Philly get together last November. It's so light and drapey, I love it. I'll need to find a funky contrasting remnant for the waistband, because I definitely don't have enough for that.
Still no AB bag fabric. I got all the interfacing at the BigBox sale this weekend, and I had two rolls of clearance home dec on the table to be cut... but I chickened out. I actually stopped her just as she opened the shears. I'm just not sure what I want the bags to look like. Do I want a funky print? Do I want sophisticated black? Do I want red? (don't I always?)
Speaking of red, Happy Love Day all ;)

I know what you mean about the fabric. I'm not 100 percent on mine, but it's all cut out and I've (barely) started construction. Having the interfacing on hand is a big deal.
The leather skirt is awesome...are you going to get another piece of leather? What type of lining are you going to put into it? I have questions...
I like the bodice for the McCall--another 20 degrees on the thermometer and I'm guessing it will draw you back in.
