Photo Blast…

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

On the weekend, I finished the dress I was sewing and it was early so I decided to sew something else. At my house…we are all about production! Or atleast until spring arrives and we can finally visit friends outside. In the meantime I am a one woman factory, almost 1/3 through my whole year list of projects. I may need to add some at this rate.

Here is my finished Camp Gertie Capelet outfit complete with an Adrienne Blouse and Donna Karan Vogue Skirt…also a cute mention to my shoes from Plato’s closet and tights all the way from my inlaws in Italy

Here is a peak at the fun lining, the skirt has this as well. I swear I smile sometimes…but today was a low smile day in the pics
A closer look at the Adrienne Blouse, this one only takes an hour to make and I made it out of thrifted knit so it was cheap too!

As I had already finished my suit, I started a Laura Ashley Dress McCalls 7998.

You can see the German in me here….but here is a front view of the wrap dress
Finally a smile and a show of the fabulous sleeve on this dress. I wasn’t sure I liked it but it looks nice in photos so I think it won me over

Finally, my last minute outfit is from Vogue V9363. I don’t normally like the end results of the very easy vogue because they take shortcuts but this one turned out to look like the picture. The top is perfect but the pants are a bit snug because they only came in large and extra large, not numbered sizes. The blend of 16/18 was a bit small for me but wearable. A bit less cookies and wine and they will be fine. I am not sure it photographs that well but I really like it. It feels very put together and classy.

I think the whole outfit is king of 50’s chic/oriental
This top is so light and pretty in person, I think the pictures don’t do it justice
I had to get a shot of the shoes because they are so cool. $7 thrift store find but super comfy and so original.

So that’s all folks….I am working on a new McCalls spring blouse to compare with the Tudor Blouse, which hopefully I will finish this week. Then I am thinking to tackling a vintage style dress or long cape for spring. It’s supposed to be 10 degrees Celsius this week so I might even get to wear some of these new spring clothes.

I am a paper pusher by day who dreams in patterns and fabrics. I started as a seamstress apprentice to my mother at an early age cutting patterns and sewing up hems. However it wasn't until much later that I discovered how much I like to be the one at the machine. I hope I can inspire others to sew their own clothes and create a community for likeminded people.
