I’ve been a terrible blogger of late—I go away for vacation, and just can’t seem to get out of vacation mode now that I’m back. I’ve been naughty, I know! While I’m working on a nice recap post for our trip to Nashville (complete with pictures, of course), I thought I’d give you a little update on my sewing projects to get me back into the blogging swing of things. Currently, I’m working on making up this little 1944 number—I’ve whipped up two blouses already, one in black cotton batiste, and one in a delicious aqua eyelet—and I’m currently finishing up a matching eyelet skirt. I adore the pattern and can see myself making it up again--it sews up quickly and easily, and the only adjustment I made was to add a little extra length to the blouse. Real pictures to follow soon, I promise!
Oh, and I must show you pictures of my new tropical outfit, created for me by a local seamstress—I picked it up yesterday and can't wait to wear it! Here’s a sneak peak of the fabric; I’ll add photos of me modeling it later today ;-)

Ohhhh...can't wait to see your blouses AND that fabric is WONDERFUL!
ReplyDeleteWow, that pattern is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment, Debi! The fabric is an amazing drapey rayon--I love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for your comment as well, Ruby! I fully admit to buying patterns based on cute cover art alone :-)
That pattern is amazing!!!! I can't wait to see you in that outfit. Also, can't wait to see pics of your trip! Maybe Jonny and I will get more ideas of things to do here ;o)
ReplyDeleteTropical prints ROCK!!! Now you just need something with Tikis on it!
ReplyDeleteLove that pattern, that will look very cute on you!
ReplyDeleteI love that sewing pattern--it looks darling! Can't wait to see your new outfit too--the print is amazing!

That is a very cute pattern. I also am convinced to buy patterns just for the art !
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is very versatile, I can not wait to see her blouse and photos of your trip
ReplyDeletei'm excited to see what you've sewn. i don't think i've ever seen one of your own handmade posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the kind words!
ReplyDeleteI've yet to take photos this week--every time I get home it ends up being too late to really get a good outfit shot :-( However, my dear friend Rose and I attended a hat/wig making workshop at the museum last night, and I wore the aqua version of the peasant blouse. So, I should have pics of that shortly--and I'll try to have my Sweetie photograph the others tonight :-)
