2007-03-20 * One, two, three

Whoo! Where have I been? I so admire all of you out there who manage to get the "behind the scenes" things done and blog daily too! My behind the scenes lately has mostly involved birthday gifts for friends who read this blog, but through special arrangement I can show you two of them.

I made this for for Camilla

An exaggerated a-line skirt using a pattern I used for three batik skirts I made earlier this year. It is hard to see, but I bound the top with a vintage grosgrain ribbon, and used a quilted ultrasuede-esque material that looks like this up close:

My friend Lauren is also having a birthday, and she's going on an exciting trip. So of course she needs a travel wallet!

I finished a wardrobe refashion project today, which I'm showing you in case you ever worry that a: everything I sew turns out great or b: I only show you the stuff that does

Rest assured that even if you think it looks good (bless you),that is because I'm posing artfully and the black fabric hides many flaws. The fabric was annoying to work with, the pattern requires sew-in interfacing and slip stitching (feh!), it is too big everywhere except for the very itchy and bindy underarms, I should have done the full-skirted version of the dress, and all in all I wish I had used this slightly stretchy crinkle cotton for city shorts or a pleated skirt instead. Boo!

Now that I've gotten that out of my system...

reading: cutting edge, yay!
coveting: the hours i spent on that dress back!
