I've been sewing! I swear!

No, I have not taken a break for the past four months - not even close... I'll just post some pictures here of what I've been working on. (in no particular order)

Vogue 8812 finally got finished!  I love this dress and wear it constantly!!






This is Lekala 4160 and has to be one of my favorite dresses of all time.  the color, the fit the pockets....



Another Lekala pattern, this one is 4284 - I like this shirt but haven't work it much, mainly because i don't have anything to wear it with -- I need to work on that!



Lekala again, this time 5088 - their free skirt - this is out of a pinstriped wool with a fun polka-dot lining.



This is a vintage pattern out of a fantastic stretch cotton searsucker.  Love love love this and I really should wear it more!  The pattern is Advance 632


Ahhh - Lekala 4042 - love the neckline - it just could be a smidge longer.



vogue 1172 - I made this for the fouth of July, wear it constantly and get compliments on it often.  I'm most proud of all the work I did to match the pattern for this, it's really quite good.




Simplicity 1459 - my feeling about this is.. Meh.  But I've only worn it once and I need to do some fiddling with it so it's back on my 'to be sewn some more) pile




And yes I made another (my fourth) version of Vogue 8789.  My original version of this dress was getting worn out, and I never was really happy with the color pallet.

  1. This post is making me long for summertime and full, drapey, twirly skirts. Although, that Lekala dress is amazing! I'm really impressed by all of the different styles that you have made. I look forward to what you put together in 2015!
