Vintage finds

Lovely old fabric store that still has old stock.kimura's fabric on the big island of Hawaii.

I made pantys

I made pantys.copied a pair that I liked and fit well and then just whipped these out so easy(if you don't sew the wrong seams together,I sew the hip seams together,then had to cut them off,they were narrow so they still fit)now I need to make matching tops.they are so comfy,I think I'm addicted.I tried making some before but they turned out too big,i've lost alot of weight and forget how small i am now.I will be making more when I find some more nice stretchy knit fabric

having fun with embroidery machine

The variegated thread makes a neat pattern on the base layer,wish i had some software to make my own shapes.This skull is from urbanthreads  I've made several of them and when I go get some new needles I'll make some more.

Anne Adams 4692 part 2

 I've made three versions of Anne Adams 4692 the dress only,still no accessories yet.The red has some stretch in it and I'm unsure of fibre content,it's comfy and just slips on.I gave this one a rounded neckline for something different.The plain blue one is stretch courdory that also just slips on,it's a little big now.The blue cotton print  has a side zipper and two belts ,wearing the selfsame fabric one in this action shot.

almost whipped out a few purses

Having got this fabric remenet for super cheap(60% off .39$) I decided to use it right away,because I do have a rediculose amount of fabric.the fabric a polyester upholstery weight jacard5/8 by 60",so I thought a purse would be quick and easy,the jenny pattern(can't find link,sorry) was the first one I found.then I decided I have this cool embroidery machine lets use it.Ended up with three little purses with different designs,I afterward decided the gold was to bright,may have to tea dye if possible.when it came to the straps the gremlins struck poor stiching,user err,ect. So I didn't finish in one day,taking a break from seam ripping,and this is a kind of in progress post.Wish me luck.

snood give away

Every girl needs a well constructed snood in their wardrobe. I am personally a huge fan of Arthelias Attic's snoods. They are crafted from a 1942 pattern, using high quality lightweight fine fingered yarn. Each snood comes with a matching grosgrain ribbon at the top which is pinned on so it can be removed if you prefer.

this is one of her green one's I just wonder if I have enough hair to foll one out.
