Leftover pasta
Fresh basil

Because if you have these things, you can make a yummy bowl of pasta & fresh pesto in under 5 minutes.

Black Dress: Wearable

Got the side seams sewn, basting stitches pulled out, and sleeves put in in very little time tonight (let's see... half of "My Name is Earl", all of "Ugly Betty" and the first bit of "Grey's Anatomy" - which was a rerun of the season premiere... so probably about an hour).  Mom pinged me for a video chat just as I was trying it on.

( Pictures are Here )

So the question for you, fair readers, is where should I hem it?  I'm attempting to channel Stacey and Clinton on this one, and I think it should be at the knee or just above.  It's certainly not going to be below the knee, because that's where it is right now before I've evened it up or turned it at all.  And besides, I think that at the current length it's making my legs look really short despite the pointy-toed slingbacks.  (Oh, how I love the pointy-toed slingbacks...)

I also want to re-stitch the shoulder seams (the join between the sleeve and the body) because it's lying lumpy.  I think I'll sacrifice the stretch and use a straight seam - that worked for the back point; I'm sure it'll work here as well.

Time to hit KMart for another slip.
