http://b4thedoor.blogspot.com/2010/08/look-ma-no-pattern.html
B4 the Door Closet. Look Ma, No Pattern! I've made some head way with the black and cream print! Surprisingly,I'm draping and it's going pretty well, considering I have absolutely no training in doing so! The shape is quite straight forward with a hint of detail, nothing to complicated. So at some point tomorrow I'll show you my progress, finished or not. Thanks for stopping by! Posted using BlogPress from my iPad. August 16, 2010 at 6:09 PM.

B4 the Door Closet. Sunset seagulls tank.and a skirt. I kept passing over this fabric at Joann's, picking it up, putting it back, each visit. Loving the color of this knit but feeling unsure about those birds. Readers, I don't ever wear animal portraits or shadow portraits, that stuff is for kids right? Oh, and this is M5853.again. I didn't want to wait on this fabric sitting around waiting to get sewed, it was now or way too late! Inspiration: PAPER BAG WAIST DRESS, MINK PINK, PINK SALOON. Finding fabri...

B4 the Door Closet. Beads, crystals and belts, oh my! I've been posting about preparing for alumni weekend. I worked out the fabric issue and picked a pattern. Traipsing to my loca. L Micheal's, I looked for the necessary materials: felt, beads, little flowers, etc. Still needing some extra items, I went to The Bead Room in Durham, NC. It is a wonderful store with an interesting history to it. There I got a few different kinds of beads to at to my belt. Links to this post. Zebra pencil skirt, B5466.

B4 the Door Closet. Minnie Penny Pant, Vogue 1039, #3. Well that was easy. This time I did the 1 inch front thigh alteration. This shall be my standard. And a full seat alteration. I followed the instructions from the threads DVD. It's about 1/3 inch, should have done 1/2 inch. This prevents that horrible peek-a-boo from the back view! Same pocket construction with the zig-zagstitch. I used polka dot cotton for the pockets and finished them the French way! So I cut mine to 6 inches. Just right! I used mo...
