Viva! pt 2: The blur of concerts, booze and dancing
Day two, three four, possibly five of Viva. They were all a blur, and I was busy having fun, so I only remembered to grab a picture when I could.

Bathing suit Conclusion: I'm ready for fun in the sun!
Good morning everyone! As I head out for Viva today, I wanted to show you all the final of the swim suit! I Even had time to make a little cover up and the hat.
Bathing Suit Pt 4: Constructing a real suit.
After two mock ups I'm finally starting on the real suit and I'm excited!
Viva is just under two weeks away, and I gotta look the part!
I picked a middle range stiff woven cotton for the suit mainly because of how the fabric handles. It's not too heavy, but has a great pattern to hide any flaws I may make.
Also, because this is a non stretch suit, I wanted the fabric to be sturdy and hold up after many launders.
Bathing Suit pt 3: My second muslin
Good morning lovely people!
This weekend has been full of sewing for me. I just got into a zone on my baiting suit sew-along.
As you recall, the first mock up was quite successful, but it did have some minor fit issues. The waist was too large, and I blame that in part to my resistance to do princess seamed garments. I just know that they require so much fitting on my end until I'm happy with it that I don't bother. That and I think they make me look bad, but I digress.
Bathing Suit part 1: Grading the pattern
Good morning bathing suit enthusiasts!
Thanks for watching my drawing binge. I've just had these characters flowing in my head so I wanted to get them on paper while I had the passion to. But, as Viva nears, I must get started on this bathing suit if I'm going to do to it what I want to do to it. Oh, I have some grand plans.
NVL Fun in the Sun swim suit sew-along!
Get ready! It's time to prepare for fun and sun this summer and what better way to do that than to have a sew-along! I'm going to be making the super cute repro I recently listed in my store and I welcome you to join me.
For this sew along, I'm going to make the suit as is as a mock up just to figure out everything, then go into altering it and grading. I've started a pintrest board where I'll list a lot of progress pictures.
Banners galore!!
There is still plenty of time to grab this pattern and join in.
Yay sewing!!!
New Pattern Day!
This super cute one piece bathing suit is a 40 bust, 34 waist, and 43 hip. The bottoms of this 40s suit attach to the lining of the suit, but I think if you are savvy, you can make this a two piece. That is what I plan to do.
The pattern is up for pre-sale, and I'd like to get 3 orders to cover the cost of printing. If you all can order early, share this post, and tell the world, I'd appreciate it.
Have a great Friday!!!
Time to start getting ready!
I saw this at Target the other day when I was going to buy Brian a body pillow.

I've made into a bed and bunches it up for support.

LACMA Mid Century Design Exhibit pt 2
More from the amazing exhibit. I think this is going to be split up into three parts.
LACMA Mid Century Design Exhibit pt 1
This evening I traveled to LACMA for the California Mid Century Exhibit.
It was a Thursday and the museum was open late. We met up at 6:30 and I was surprised that if you were an LA resident, you got in free!
You walk into a large breath of space where it has been transformed into a kitcky 50s tasting space itself. It's wavy gravy, man.
