Is the new skirt pattern of Colette patterns, and has 3 variations. I made Version 2. I used to own a black H&M skirt that is similar to it and I wore it to pieces. Or until pleated skirts were outfashioned and I had a closet clearing frenzy (I hate it when I throw out things and regret it later! Does this happen to others? Don't look at the creases please, I even ironed it before we stepped in the car. Type of green (my hubbie called it forest green). This cute Esprit blouse, for example, but also p...

Nellie's Needles: Glass Flowers in My Gardens

http://nelliedurand.blogspot.com/2014/02/glass-flowers-in-my-gardens.html

Friday, February 28, 2014. Glass Flowers in My Gardens. At the beginning of the year I had promised to write about the glass project that kept me busy at the end of last summer. About 50 flowers were constructed from dishes and copper tubing. These are the ones I created to bring home to Tennessee . And here they are in our sculpture garden under the magnolia tree. Here's a close-up of one "flower" head made of finds at thrift stores. It was work to drill holes in the center of each piece. I spent qu...

Christmas Parade Costumes | Custom Style

https://customstyle.wordpress.com/2014/12/30/christmas-parade-costumes

Sewing that's Retro, Geek, and Chic. On December 30, 2014. Over the summer, I was part of a small team of costumers that helped build some walk-around character costumes for a Christmas parade. At Silver Dollar City. In Branson, Missouri. Radioactive looking shiny lime green stretch crushed velvet. Lime green is my favorite color but this fabric causes some retinal burn-in when you look at it too long! We constructed 2 moose heads that perched high (as in 12 feet high! 8230; Moisturize me moisturize me!

Sewing that's Retro, Geek, and Chic. How Dior Own Dresses Compare? On August 23, 2013. My coworker sent me a mesmerizing video about the making of a Dior dress for a couture fashion show.

More and More Bags | Bird and Bicycle

https://birdandbicycle.wordpress.com/2015/02/19/more-and-more-bags

I make. What do you do? More and More Bags. By Bird and Bicycle. Spring is in the air, and the inexplicable sunshine in Seattle has had me so joyful it’s wonderful. Or maybe it’s the Starbucks gift card I was given and all those soy chai’s spiking my caffeine levels…. So I made a quick little bag or two, just to test my quilting skills. A draw string bag has so many uses! It works for clothing waistbands just as well as bags. Someday I should just buy the bolt. But my giant pile of patterns calls to me!

a make it yourself mom's diary: The Wardrobe Architect: Color Story

http://miymdiary.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-wardrobe-architect-color-story.html

Saturday, March 1, 2014. The Wardrobe Architect: Color Story. The color story was a little difficult for me. I've been buying clothes for years based on whatever I could find that fit me. This really limited my options greatly. After thinking about what I really like, I came up with some ideas. I spent quite some time coming up with colors that, hopefully, represent the colors I had in my mind. Camel, black, light gray (preferably textured or heathered), navy, chocolate brown. Not So Nearly Neutrals.
