Click! Click! Lately I’ve been trolling vintage pattern web sites, mostly because it’s just so much fun and there is serious style out there that still looks good today. This weekend on Patterns From The Past I found Simplicity 6284 that I actually wore! (you need to scroll down the page to find [...] Click! Yesterday at Lord & Taylor I found the perfect belt. This is actually a stretch belt, which I really like because I like a wider belt with dresses and I’m very shortwaisted. Stretch belts are really comfortable because they don’t dig into my ribs. Love the hardware, the macrame look and the color is [...] "Moonlight Clowns" Believe it or not, I have been sewing, but nothing has been in the “interesting to blog about” category. Made a few pairs of HP Marrakesh pants to wear around the house and also made up Vogue 8936 but my serger won’t do a coverhem so that project is on hiatus [...]
This is the first Butterick pattern I’ve done in years, which is strange because when I was young Butterick was my favorite Big 4 line; they had really great fashion forward looks. If you don’t believe me just go onto any vintage pattern site and look at 60′s and 70′s Buttericks. [...] Ann sent me this link to Counterfeit Chic that announces a new “Fashion Law’ program at Fordham’s law school. Counterfeit Chic author Susan Scafidi has been working this for quite some time. From the perspective of Fordham this might be a good idea but to the mostly cynical side of me New Look 6755 is a close match for the white wrap blouse I love from Lucky’s 50′s Italian Riviera spread. All I need to do is take the sleeve from View A and the collar from View B minus the ruffle. The Banana Republic original in made from stretch cotton, [...] Click! This is my ideal summer look – I love everything on this page! Well, not the ankle-tie espadrilles, but that’s an easy substitution. I think I’ll use this as the inspiration for my summer sewing. Can you find my mistake? This Patti Page song was in my mind while I was making this shirt. Fabric invokes memory and as soon as I saw this patchwork on Gorgeous Fabrics I knew I had to have it; when I was kid in California I had a madras shirt that I loved so [...] Tavi at Chanel Couture She blogs, French Vogue did a story on her, she has written a sincere and thoughtful observation on the suicide of Alexander McQueen and went to Paris Fashion Week. She sells arty t-shirts she designs. Scroll down to the photo of her with our favorite Funky Little Fashion Troll. She’s 13 years old. I learned to embroider when I was about 7, and I was maybe 14 when I made this shirt. The pattern is long gone, but it’s Big 4, probably Butterick because back in those days (and unlike today) it was actually a trendy line and my favorite. The fabric is a truly wretched synthetic pretty typical of that [...] |
