After buying the pattern (and fabric) for the Butterick 4790 “Walk-Away” dress back in 2006, I finally started to sew it this past weekend. Ironed and cut the pattern, ironed and cut the fabric, chalked my marks, pinned my tucks, fired up the Singer… and got nowhere. More details are here, at my “real” blog.

I have had that pattern for like TEN years, and I was thinking about sewing one this weekend….so many horror stories.
Ooooh, I’ve wanted to sew that pattern forever! Of course, I imagine you’ve read the horror stories about it at PatternReview.com, right? http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/patterns/sewingpatterns.pl?patternid=12206
Of course, knowing is half the battle, and I will probably make it some day…when I’m done with the real vintage patterns I’ve already started, so, like, never. 😉
