I think if I could spend my days sewing sundresses and my evenings knitting, I'd be a pretty happy girl. So its been especially fun making a few things lately.
Sewing project 1 - Victorian blouse
What do you do when a major museum event is in 3 days and you don't have a top?
You dig through your fabric stash to find something suitable and then whip that sucker out.
Sorry for the poor quality photos, but I was on my own.
Here's the back.
I also recently made a new dress and finished a new sweater.
The dress is still a little plain. Could use some trim or a sash or something. The sweater...oh its awesome. Soft 100% wool. You would think that would be too warm for LA, but not really. Wool is pretty breathable in a hand knit, so this was just right for a day in the 70s.
There is also what I'm wearing today...
Not the most flattering photo...but I love this dress. Cute tie around the wait. And its a wrap dress. So it wraps around the back to create a V.
Can't wait to make a few more from my vintage patterns, and who knows, maybe this is my business plan. A little help from my husband for good photos and I could be on my way.
Oh, and here's Dottie's latest photo. She's sleeping with us now (not all night, but part of the night).
I think she's getting too comfortable.
