I attached the bodice and skirt on my Vogue 1257 dress. (This dress needs a name.) The fit is good. I’m going to take the sleeves out for a spin and see how they are. I just have to hem and I can get photos taken this weekend.
With this.
My husband got a new Sony DSLR which explains why the serger purchase went virtually unquestioned. Now I am promised great blog photos. Actually we have done wedding photography in the past. We’ve done at least a dozen since we got married so with new proper equipment we can start doing wedding photography again.
Look at the sweet gift I got this week.
They are paper flowers made from sewing pattern tissue.
They were made by my friend, Stephanie of Berry Island on Etsy. She makes felted pom-poms and does beautiful mosaics. I don’t think she could ship the pattern peonies but maybe she’ll treat us to a tutorial! Her shop is featured on a little etsy love including a GIVEAWAY! Check it out and enter the giveaway contest.
What I’m listening to: I Turn My Camera On by Spoon
Those are beautiful—hmm, I think I probably have some patterns fugly enough to become artwork without feeling too guilty
.
Hooray on the spanky camera (especially as it facilitates sewing splurges—oops, there I go enabling again). Can’t wait to see the dress
I love the flowers! So unique and they will last longer than regular flowers.
The camera is pretty nice. I’m a little intimidated by it. I’m more a point-and-shoot girl. Stein enjoys the techy aspect.
The dress should be out and about this weekend!
The only thing better than new camera gear is new sewing gear. Barely. Enjoy both.
I agree. However the camera will help my blog so I win either way.
Aw thanks Vanda
Yes those patterns were the biggest ugliest outfits…22W, and 1980′s wedding dress. That camera is smashing, the instruction book must be huge.
My first thought was “What patterns did she destroy?! Could I piece it back together if I took these apart?” Glad I didn’t.
Yes. Camera instruction book is huge. I made sure we have the house insurance all paid up…what with all our new toys. Crikey!
So really you ‘got’ both a new serger and new camera kit. Oh ah, lovely!
Yay for me!
Thanks for the comment. Been checking out your blog. Great stuff!
