So here are the pics as promised! I apologize in advance for the Iphone pics, I believe I'll soon be blessed with a high-quality Canon!
If you notice, I substituted pieces of lace for the faux zippers over the pockets and added a lil pizazz on the inside.
It's also fully lined (so luxurious to me). Now I have to admit that as a beginner, this was a pretty difficult project, but my key to success was to READ READ READ. I must have read the instructions so much I have them committed to memory! I also checked out books from my local library (2 at a time) on sewing basics and garment construction; these definitely helped when I ran into a term or technique that I wasn't familiar with (which is mostly ALL of them----layering a hem?? what???) So my suggestion to all aspiring and beginners is to READ. Read the pattern for instruction as well as interpretation and accuracy. My pastor (Roderick L. Hennings) told us that it takes 10,000 hours to master what you do, and I believe in that, so be not disheartened when a hemline is crooked and you have to pop all the stitches and redo it, or when you look up and realize it's 2:16 in the morning and you have to be to work at 8:30 am, count it all as your mastery experience :-) and most importantly, enjoy your creations, because they're yours and no one can take away from that!
Proverbs 12:12
The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
