in january, i finally FINISHED some lurking projects, for myself to wear, like another Built by You tunic (simplicity 3964), my first with sleeves! i am loving this thing and have barely taken it off since completion. i also added my new favorite detail: cutaway pockets. every garment should have them, really… also, i remembered a very useful item that i have had since college, but completely forgotten about: my TRIPOD!!! no more one-armed mirror pics!
this is my other new fave outfit! kim and i developed this cozy sweatshirt tunic idea one sunday afternoon (i made her one too, while she re-organized my studio/living room). i had been needing something i could wear over my gym clothes when i go to the Y, and then proceed directly to brunch and not look like such a complete dork. i mean, i am always a dork, but gym clothes make me feel extra dorky….
oh yeah, and i finished my Built by You corduroy PANTS!!! (simplicity 4110) this is really exciting. i’ve actually even worn them several times. crazy. 
this is one of the new style of tops i made for fall, with different printed yokes (hard to see in this photo, but the yoke is a woven floral-print wool). there are two longer ones in my etsy shop right now, should your interest be piqued…
