Looks very nice. Are those some of your new comfy shoes?

 

[kamikat]

Yes, I got them at a store called "Comfort One". They are ok, but I still have to put in an arch support. So far, the best solution is my Muffy's with orthodics.

I love all your stuff, I really like your skirt. I wish I had your productivity too!

Summer shorts made from 30s pajama bottom pattern:

I would have liked to make the long version, but I didn't have enough fabric and I figured it would be nice to make a pair of shorts for the summer. Overall, I guess it's not great looking, but very comfortable and also I love the drapey rayon fabric I used.

 

[Tatum]

Amie, I think they're cute!

Kamikat, I wish I could afford to hire you as my own personal seamstress. I always love seeing your outfits!

 

[BoPeep]

So this outfit qualifies for the second step of LadyDay's Make and Mend challenge: sew something with fabric you already have (step one for me was the mending). This piece of daisy print was laying around since last summer. Good to have it out of the cupboard and in my closet!

4th of July dress finished in the nick of time! Vogue 8728

 

[HepKitty]

MissAmelina that's beautiful! what kind of fabric did you use?

 

[MissAmelina]

Thanks!! I used a quilter's cotton and went down one pattern size....no alterations and it went together pretty quickly. Can't wait to toodle around in it on my bicycle in it tonight!

 

[HepKitty]

I thought about picking up that pattern but decided I have too many right now. lol like that's ever *really* stopped me before

thanks C-dot it's an easy dress to make, lots of darts but I must be getting better at them because I didn't have to redo any of them lol

 

[Amie]

Amelina, it's perfect. I want it so bad. Love the pattern, the fabric, the print. :eusa_clap

 

[Miss Moonlight]

I love it, and your fabric of choice is adorable.

I went to look at the pattern, it's on sale for $4.99. Save $11+... I ordered it.

 

[BettyMaraschino]

Miss Amelina, That dress is perfectly gorgeous!! I may admit to now looking to see if my John Lewis has that pattern

Already plotting that dress in red or black with the midsection in a print, and an all black one for work........ *prays John Lewis have it in*

 

[Lauren]

Miss Amelia, that dress is so cute!! Love the fabric.

I just finished up this dress from a 1940 Dubarry pattern. I posted more on my blog here.

That is darling! I had the same problem with a rayon linen blend 2 piece I was working. I put it on the UFO pile instead of persevering, like you did.
