Sew Green - Burda 7793 again

We lucked out again with Edouard - mostly light or a steady rain and breezy by us...and 75 degrees! A nice break in the temperature and for the A/C.

Our hurricane pantry was fully stocked, but last night L and I went to Super Target to lay in a supply of readable-by-flashlight People, OK, etc. magazines. It was entertaining to see what people were buying. The couple ahead of us bought lots (over $100 worth!) of Beef-A-Roni, Progresso soup, turkey bacon, and Fiber One bars. The cart behind us -- Blue Bell chocolate ice cream and Doritos. Is it survival of the fittest, or survival of the fattest?! We weren't totally guilt free, we got a Red Baron pizza and baked it last night in case the power went out. Cold pizza is better than cold Beef-A-Roni, yes?


Anyways, I took the opportunity today to whip up another Burda 7793, in the olive green knit eyelet. Since raising the back, it was just a little difficult to tell which was the front or the back. I saved the cool black and white woven tie strings from a pair of Liz Claiborne capris and attached a small piece to the back neckline.
