| ~ fabric detail from my newly made dress ~ |
Especially now that my sewing studio is fit as a fiddle, clean as a whistle, and in top notch shape.
But not right now ... I have a headache.

| not faking it |

| ok, whoosh, I'm up & moving |

| how's that? |
well, better. how about a front view?
 |
| fine, ok? |
okay, okay.
For a real look at the cartoon dress, close-up, check out the Clothes from Winter page. We'll get her over to Patti and the Visibles at Not Dead Yet Style. That should liven her me up.
Oh, I should mention that the dress pattern is by Tina Givens, called Etre. I used two different cotton fabrics: "Home Sewing is Easy" by Alexander Henry and the obnoxiously titled "Country Weekend" (images of art supplies?!) by Hoffman International Fabrics.
Love that fabric! Hope your head feels better.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been saving up for it.
DeleteConsider me livened! Can't take my eyes off this fantastic print. Thanks for linking up, xox.
ReplyDeleteOh no, Patti. I meant me, not you! I needed livening up, that's why I'm wearing the funnies...
DeleteThat cartoon fabric! With that style! So delicious. And the "country weekend" caps on the ends are perfect. Paint supplies? Ha. I'm afraid my fake sewing doesn't help create a country cottage ambiance at home. If I could only learn how to use a straight pin I'd be laughing.
ReplyDeleteOh Melanie, you create your own cartoon fabric/ clothes already. No straight pins are needed.
DeleteOh that fabric is fantastic! You used it perfectly!!! I have had fabric sit for years waiting until it tells me what to make of it. :o)

Yes, my fabric stash has been lying around so long it thinks that's the way it should be.
DeleteOK. Now you've got me going with more fabric envy. So cute. And did I ever mention how much I love your shoes? Well, I do!
ReplyDeleteYou can just buy it online, Connie. That's what I did. The shoes, a friend gave them to me when they didn't fit her well. Patent leather clogs and by the way, I was wearing them with fake leather thigh highs!!!
DeleteCool bananas! How groovy is that dress, and your masterful mixing of prints. Simply gorgeous. xo Jazzy Jack
ReplyDeleteI do like frozen bananas...Yes, that dress is autobiographical, it is.
DeleteA very groovy dress indeed! Even the fabric patterns are perfectly suited to you.
ReplyDeleteYep, and represented in proportion too.
DeleteDigging that cartoon print!!! Hope that headache is gone by now.
ReplyDeleteDigging that cartoon print!!! Hope that headache is gone by now.
ReplyDeleteMystery Shelley saying it twice. Glad you like my funnies dress. What headache?
DeleteGreat cartoon dress! I always appreciate visiting your world of constant creativity and surprise.
ReplyDeleteThat's officially my favorite dress of yours!!
