Accomplishments!
Hello lovely people.
Yes, that is Brian in the middle of three dogs larger than him.
Brian was all, "sup."
They were all, "sup."
"Can I sniff your butt?"
"Cool, bro."
Day Projects: Odds and Ends
Good morning lovely people.
Brain took over the bed, as usual, so I had to get up and do stuff.
I hope you all have been well. I'm doing okay. Still busy getting work. I'm wiring on a potential freelance job that could be long term, so with me luck on that.
Let's talk more about Foundation Garments: Slips for every occasion
Help lovely people.
Let's delve deeper into foundation garments, shall we.
I'm going to back track a bit, and talk about what I did near the start of the previous post. I commented that I consider all things that go beneath the fashion layer to be foundation garments, and I do. Whether you are going for a 20s look, or a 40's statement, having all the right pieces that help the outer layer drape the way you want are crucial to the look.
More awesome Playclothes repairs!
Hello everyone!
It has been a crazy few weeks for me. I have a cough (congested throat that may be a sinus infection) that I've had flair up for over a week. I hope it will go away in a bit.
Catalog Sunday: XL
Hey everyone! Sorry for my absence, you know, life and all. To make up for me purposefully missing last week's Catalog Sunday, this week I have a great summer sales one from Sears, 1944!
Sewin' shirts, sewin' shirts!
Hello lovely people.
This past week I've been making progress on flushing out my wardrobe by making some more blouses. I recently completed the flower lawn, and even the flower lawn from the vintage cotton.
Projects come together.
Happy Monday one and all.
Hope you had a lovely weekend. Mine started with a long walk to the pet wash so Brian could get nice and clean with his medicated shampoo. He was stellar by the way.
Catalog Sunday
Yay! I'm back! Got my internets back yesterday! Squeeeee!!!
Today I have an extra large dose of wartime Wards fashions; Spring/Summer 1944.
My first bias cut skirt, and a vacation.
I have this bias cut skirt I got a long time ago at Macy's for a song. It's an Eddie Bauer, and it's black linen, fully lined. I remember wearing it the other night to Cicada club and just loving the way it swooshed and galloped as I walked. Of course a lot of that was because of the weight of the fabric, and even the lining, but it felt so feminine and sexy.
Then I got to thinking, why don't I ever make my own bias cut items?
Well, as I'm sure you all know, it takes up mega tons of fabric. Mega tons is an understatement, shit load would be more accurate.
Eat, sleep, sew, work, dance.....
Not in any particular order.
I'm sure you lovely people are tired of me saying how busy I've been. Even though it's true, still, I should have let you know :)
Etsy Updates: Dresses for sale!
I've decided to let go of some of my more labored projects and list them in my etsy store.
A lot of these you have seen me create on the blog. They are too large now and I thought another stout lady would love a nice gown in her wardrobe!
I'm also going to list some day dresses too. I need to make room for some new clothes.
A friend asked me how could I let go of some of these clothes, and I see it as giving someone else a chance to wear a nice vintage styled garment.
As usual, all my garments are finished with vintage notions and hand sewn finishes that give it that extra polished look.
Catalog Sunday
This Sunday I have new dress-piration from National Bella Hess' sale catalog from '43.
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.
Spoils of the Fabric District

Oh, I don't know if I posted this, but here is a photo of my new apartment building.
