Fabric Flavor of the Week

Generally I'm not really into flowery prints, but I currently can't suppress my desire to hoard these fabrics from Moda: the 1933 line by Chloe's Closet. I'm going through a weird nesting phase where all I want to do is make Little House on the Prairie dresses and knead bread. This too, shall pass.

In other news, I've been sewing up a storm! I've added a couple of bags to my future Etsy arsenal, and I even started making some tank tops! Making something that I'll actual wear is a big milestone for me, even if I'm just wearing them to sleep. I based the tank on a pattern out of the already lauded One Yard Wonders, and this project also marked the first time that I used elastic and made my own bias tape.

I really need to set aside some time to get some lady-friends over here to model my new creations, but until then, please accept my burly substitute. Sorry Beardy. But by trying to prove that you could worm your big man body into my shirt, you brought this upon yourself. (And seriously, look at that pose and tell me his heart wasn't in this.)

  4. We have a lot of tiny floral print at the Gap. It's like we stepped back in time to the Blossom tv series days.
