Volume 1, Issue 57, March 15, 2010: The Ides of March/ Sewing Project

Happy Ides of March! Well this isn't really a day for celebration but this is the day that Julius Casear was assissignated. Et tu brute?

Anyways, I'm starting my sewing project soon and I have to sew this dress and make a decorative emblishement for it. This should be fun but I'm a little nervous because I'm not the world's best sewer and I'm being graded on this. I'll have to make a trip to the fabric store. I'm not sure whether I should go to the Hancock Fabrics store in Waldorf or Joanns and Gstreet in Seven Corners. But where ever I can the best look fabric. The dress that I will be making will be the one that is black and white but I want to use a solid color on the skirt of the dress and a printed fabric at the bodice. The colors I'm considering are red, turquiose, mustard yellow, emerald green and a deep royal purple or blue. I want something bold and eye catching.
