Good morning lovely people. 
Let's get back to the dress, shall we?

Make and Mend vintage cotton dress reconstruction pt 1

Brian out for a hike at Griffith Park.
Good morning lovely people.

I know, there is supposed to be a Vintageville episode today. It's not finished, so I'm switching them. :)

MnM 2013: Repurposing some fabric.


Good morning lovely people.

Thanks for holding on this past week. I just got overwhelmed with late nights and  tons of things that I had to get out of the way for other people.

Dressing the Dress Forms

Good morning lovely people.
Whew!
This past week was monumentally full of tons of projects. Sorry for the lack of posts.
I had this (still do actually) hanging around in my living room.

July Showcase

Hello lovely people.
Squeee! I have a showcase this month!
I haven't done one in a while because times they are tight, but these past few weeks I was able to pick up a few goodies for myself and I'm quite happy for my choices.

First some patterns I acquired.

MnM: Drafting a pattern from an existing garment.

Good morning lovely people.
First the good news.


Brian is on the mend. Turns out he had some sort of bacterial infection around his leg and he's now on an antibiotic regimen. I can already tell he's doing tons better. He's starting to play around more. I'm thrilled. He should be back to his normal self soon.

Now to sewing!
