Hey there foxes! I have a confession. I’ve got nothin’ for you tonight. Well, nothing photographed. I’ve got a Pendrell ready for picture time, though, so hopefully I’ll get to that sometime this weekend! And I’m working on samples for my classes in May, so there’ll be pictures of those as well… I’m closing up for the week with pictures of what I’ve been wearing in April. You can see from the sweater-love that the weather has stayed pretty chilly here in the great white north. It was in the 70’s last weekend, but they’re threatening snow tonight.
For those of you who are unaware…I’ve been taking a photo of my daily wearables. Some days – notably, the days I’m off from work and home doing chores and sewing – are clearly much more boring than other days! The pictures, along with details on the clothes, are posted at my ‘sister blog’ snugbug365.
So with that, happy Friday. May your weekend be full of warm weather, flawless stitching and miraculous shoe sales. Mine will be full of working at the shop, hoping for no snow and teaching my favorite class, Sewing Essentials, tomorrow night!
Lovely outfits! I especially like the flowery dresses and the cream bow top… Have fun with your teaching!
+1 on the flowery dresses. What patterns have you used for those? And, your style is evolving very nicely I must say! 🙂
You are adorable! I love these photos. You are totally inspiring me to get my sewing machine down from on top of the fridge and USE it. Thanks for posting!
thanks guys!
Kjersti – the black flowered dress is from target – I altered when I got it home to make the top fit better. the green dress is a HEAVILY altered version of Vogue 2903. The original was altered a lot to get the bodice to fit right, then altered some more to get rid of an odd yoke situation that caused trouble with the arms. THEN six months later I had to do MORE alterations -I'd lost some weight and it was giant!
My style has probably always been theoretically the same – I like bright colors, fitted lines and a gypsy/goofball details – what's TOTALLY evolved is my ability to sew what's in my head!! Also, my willingness to wrap a belt around anything that'll sit still. My basset hound looks adorable in hers…
The white blouse in pic 5 (I think) is awesome. Very Pulp Fiction.
Cute outfits! I recently found your blog, and I am a fan now – because your body is quite similar to mine, I get so much inspiration from you,yeah! Thanks a lot for your great outfits and wonderful sewing knowledge. Greetings from Germany – Lola
You're a fashion icon for me. Love theses outfits. And love your sewing insights.
