Handworks Crochet and then Some!

This is my new favorite dress... Vogue 1020... made from more fabulous fabric I got down in Panama! I shorten the dress quite a bit for a throw back mini look. The gathers at the side are so flattering! No problems with this pattern at all! I made this dress and 2 tops from this pattern (one lace long sleeve and one knit short sleeve) all in one day. I want many more of these dresses! I need more of these dresses or I will wear this one out! I crocheted the little scarf... its hairpin lace crochet. Worked up in about 45min. to an hour And the little leg warmers!!! I crocheted them up quick a couple of months ago. I need some in black too... I really have been sewing alot... just not posting alot! I guess because alot of the things I've been sewing for myself have been basics. I've been crocheting ALOT too.... the things I just finished a shell top and I'm now working on an afghan and a pair of socks AND working on a bridesmaid dress for a client. *Suit Update* The blaz...

I have never done a give away... and after 289 posts I think its about time I do... I have tons of books, mags and patterns... maybe this is a nice way to start clearing out stuff I'm not going to use.... and a way to say thanks to my sewing buddies out there in blogland. You guys are great!! And I really love getting comments from you guys. Thanks!!! Up for giveaway: This Easy Fashion magazine by Burda was published last year and I have never used it Its all in German... but comes with full size patterns like the regular BWOF. So if you're familiar with BWOF you wouldn't have any trouble making something from this magazine. So if you would like this magazine please leave a comment saying you would like to go into the drawing for it. I'll announce a winner next week and mail it out to you!!!! *hugs* to ALL my sewing sisters out there! Happy Sewing!
