In ATL!!!!!! What I wore and the Fabric haul!

First! Clothes I made and wore in ATL!

I actually made this skirt I'm wearing last fall from a BWOF... and no I don't remember which one and yep, I'm to lazy to go look! lol! The top I made last week from a BWOF too.. I've made this simple T shirt 4 times now.. Love it!

To the right... I love the skirt! Its a BWOF wrap skirt. I got the fabric up in Boston... The t is from the same BWOF pattern as the one above... I am not loving the black t with this skirt and I'm going to have to make something else to go with it.

The bolero is a Burda pattern, the fabric is from Miami. I added serger crochet to the sleeves and I'm loving it!

Gotta make a different shirt though....












Divan is the place to be in ATL on Sunday night... as you can see from these 2 pics!

There's nothing quite like hanging out and all of a sudden someone breaks out into drum beats..
Now thats entertainment!!!! And it sounded SO good! Atlanta always amazes me.... and makes me happy!


Here we are below at fabulous Divan... where the food is divine, the people are beautiful, the music exotic and the hookah is unbelievably good!!!! If we lived in ATL we would be there every week!!!


Now for the FABRIC!!!! Most sewing enthusiasts in the south know about Gail K's in ATL.... its wonderful! Anything you need is there.. and most of what you want!


The fabric to the left was not purchased at Gails.. its for a bellydance costume for Rach... the beautiful bronze appliques were purchased at Gails! They have an awesome selection of appliques there!!! This is going to be a very striking costume on my red headed friend!






This was purchased at Gails... and also not for me... for Sonya's costume.... a gorgeous, very unique animal print... Which will
be awesome on her!

Should she change her mind it would make a lovely wrap dress for me!


I love this piece!!! Sonya's a little bitty thing.. maybe there will be enough left over for a bolero atlest!!




The fabric here is a great cotton, with a hint of lycra and the feel of suede!


I'm thinking capris... or maybe a jacket with a zipper...


we'll see!!!








A beautiful fabric here!!!! Transparent animal print with little ribbons all over!!! Silky feel and slight stretch.


yep... long full skirt!











Love , love , love this fabric! It doesn't look like much in the pic but really... its great!

Cotton stretch, light weight with worn little holes all in it!!!


I'm thinking corset top??????



I also bought a tan/golden lycra brocade for a possible fitted vest...and a silver/grey stretch velvet that has a snake skin pattern in black all over ... and it will make a sexy figure hugging
dress!

I do LOVE Gail K's.... and Atl......

Tunisian and Tapestry crochet on the hooks

It seems that no matter what or how many projects I have going one is always Tunisian and one is always a tapestry or fair isle type with color changes or pictures.  I love this tapestry handbag. It’s going to be The perfect bag for October!! The pattern was included in a booklet that cane with a Simply Crochet magazine from the UK. It’s eating a lot of yarn so Caron one pound yarn is perfect! Cause there’s a lot of it and it’s an easy care for acrylic. Handbags tend to get thrown around a lot so washable with all this white is super important when I was choosing a yarn.  I’ll be adding a liner too. And pockets .. I can not have a bag without inside pockets!  For oh so long I’ve wanted to try the double hook Tunisian technique. I have Lily Chins dvd on it but she’s way over my head at this point! This simple pattern is in Interweave crochet magazine fall 2018. Great pattern to get started with!  The Bavarian blanket is still on a hook and will be a long time because ...

The accidental costume coming right along......

Ok! I didn't mean to start this costume. I meant to finish my Fire costume first but...I needed to make a 'muslin' for my holiday skirt though... and I thought I would make it out of this beautiful stretch velvet fabric I got from Gail K's back in the summer... and so a costume is born!!!! Just check out the color combos on this. I'm styling it after a Sahar costume. And so now... I can go ahead with Project Holiday Outfit too... the fit of this skirt is divine! I'll be making it again and again!

The "Panama Dress"!

Here is my "Panama Dress" from fabric I bought in... yes Panama! Its actually a skirt and top but it does look like a dress. No pattern, all draped. The skirt is made up of 4 separate long triangle panels that are that are rounded at the bottom. There's ALOT of movement in the skirt. The top is a fitted band around the waist and the top bust part is only attached in the back and at the sides so the bust part makes a pretty drape and I could get the waist part super tight and fitted. I hand knit the belt out of some beautiful copper yarn I got up in Philly and attached it to the skirt. The purse is some fabric I got at the sewing expo last year and is covered in tiny black poodles. It draws up at the top and through a little black crocheted doily I made that I covered in crystals. The pattern for the purse is called Circle Purse and I can't remember the designer!!! Someone asked me where I bought this dress when I wore it out last Tues. and yes I beamed when I said ...
