I’ve come to a realization that seems so very obvious, but hasn’t kicked in seriously until now. Starting in about September, it’s tights weather here. Sure, there are days you can get away with bare legs, but for the most part, it starts getting pretty cold out. It’s tights-weather every day now, and I’m daydreaming [...]

So what happened to the white dress you mentioned?
Remember this white dress? Probably not, as it was back in March, but I thought I’d post about this little piece of unfinished business, just to wrap up a loose end.

Groovy Sixties Shift Dress: McCalls 7743
I whipped up a cute little dress this weekend! It’s a vintage McCall’s pattern from 1965, purchased on Etsy from this lovely seller.

She’s a designer of digital prints using organic cotton fabric, and was kind enough to donate the fabric for this skirt! The finished skirt will be for sale [...]

Floral Explosion Dress: Vogue 9668, again
Did you all see what the Selfish Seamstress wrote about me yesterday? I’m her latest nemesis, can you believe it?! (Although…I’m delighted that she even knows about little old me!) And to (potentially) make matters worse, I whipped up another version of Vogue 9668 in a pretty floral rayon print. I’ve already given you most [...]
