Vogue 8593....I love this neckline!!

Yes, i'm back! I have gone through some rough and tough times these past few months...but i'm back! I feel better! My spirit is in tact and i'm ready to get back to sewing and crafting!!!

A few months back, i decided that i love awesome necklines because they compliment my shape, so i went and brought up all the patterns i could find with great necklines and this is one of them. Of course most of them are Vogue, because that's what was on sale at the time. and this is just one of the one's i chose first.

I will NOT be doing a pattern review because this dress has been reviewed over 10 times and that, in my opinion, is enough for anyone to get some input on a pattern!

For this dress i used a tan ponte that i brought from JoAnn's back in the summer time on an outing with my niece. I believe this is my first time working with Ponte fabric but it's really no different that a jersey knit, just more stable, less stretch. I love the feel of it and will absolutely be buying more of it, i like that it's kinda heavy so i can do more dresses and not necessarily be too cold in the winter.

I saw that a previous reviewer on PatternReview, used this pattern to make a shirt, so i think i will try that and maybe make one more of these in a different color. Y'all know I'm obsessed with having 2 of everything! lol

I have got so much catching up to do..but now is not the time because the Raven's are playing the final playoff game and it sounds like it's getting good! gotta go....
