I always read about ladies who make all these clothes then don't wear them... thats sad! I think I get alot of wear out of things I make... really everyday I have on something I've made... alot of days everything I have on I made.. including jewelry and handbag!
*Please excuse some of my pics are blurry... we have a new camera and Bald Man isn't used to how fast it snaps a pic and I don't notice its blurred until I load it! *
Here I am, Sunday,...On my way to church in a new dress!.... this is NL6774 I'm in love with this maxi dress. Its SO comfortable! This pattern was super easy to make... seems like alot of stuff I've been making has been easy... I need to step it up a bit. Summer sewing is always easier to me. I do need to get ready to start my fall wardrobe though...
Anyways! The top is a lite weight knit I got from Miami... the bottom is a colorful heavy stretch lace I got from the ATL sewing expo last year. Its lined with a stretch knit nude fabric I bought at jo anns.
Wed.....On my way to see our favorite local musician here in Knoxville (besides my son ofcourse!) J. Luke! He's just awesome... you know I can't remember if I ever posted this "throw back" shirt I made last fall. Its made from a very vintage pattern that was originally a catsuit. The fabric is a vintage piece my mom picked up at a yard sale... fabulous! Its just so fun to wear!
Below.... Going out to our favorite dance spot in Knoxville, Purada, on Saturday night.
This is V1027 I got the fabric in Miami at Rex's. This was also super easy to make... and honestly.... I think I look like a cow in this dress but the Bald Man thought I looked super hot... who am I to disagree with my husband???? lol! and he's usually brutally honest about things like that. It does move beautifully when we dance though.
And everyday in between I wore my yoga wardrobe... jeans I made, t-shirts I altered.... yeah... I get alot of wear outta what I sew....

This makes a good case to show Bald Man because I think we need to take a trip and buy some new fabric....
