Silk Leapord Print Dress

I made this dress and only wore it once this summer. It has a scalloped hem. In theory it looked cute but it was sort of strange in reality. It originally went down to my ankles but now it goes to about my knee

I ended up only wearing it once, but I haven't worn it again since I shortened it.

I didnt use a pattern on this dress wither, but i should have, the tube part of the dress was too loose and uneven.

Sewing a wardrobe: Snake Skin Print Dress

This dress is a silk stretch. i made it before i got my serger so i had to work really hard to maintain the elasticity o the fabric, since stitched tend to break on stretch fabrics.

I never wear it with heels, usually flip flops but its a really soft breathable dress. Whats nice about the silk is that it doesnt make the print look shiny or weird. It could go tacky very quickly with blends.

I used no pattern btw. But becuase I liked the way this tuned out Im going to make one based off of tis with 5/8 seam allowances.

Built By Wendy 3966 Finished Coat!

I planned on making this Built By Wendy 3966 coat all summer and its finally finished! I bought the black wool coating from the Fabric Depot and  I bought purple wool from a local store on the Lower East Side. I read that the coat was boxy on the Streets and Yo's blog. So I used the shawl collar from a cardigan pattern I got from Burdastyle called the Esther. I made it into a foldover coat and added belt. I used the short version and left out the front placket.

I think i have seen this girl a thousand times in Brooklyn, oh wait, she lives in Bruxelles. Apparently the horrendous hair piled on top of the head of a chick making the "who? me?" pose has traveled around the fucking world

These boys however have my heart

Landing on the moon: My dream wedding part one

Growing up I didnt fantasize about weddings. I fantasized about running away.   It only makes sense that when I thought of marriage the word elope came to mind.

John Derian The fancy Decoupage plates that make me happy, and other ex boyfriends

Somebody I dated gave me a John Derian plate for christmas, while most of my friends scoffed at the thought of getting a plate with the letter R on it, I thought I was one of the nicest, most thoughtful gifts ever. Almost as good as the college boyfriend that made me a tool box and fulled it with tools. He makes furniture now in Hudson
