Hey everyone, I am so sorry that I have been terrible at blogging... life has taken alot of time lately and i have spent some time figuring out my time managment. Have no fear it is slowly starting come together and i should be sewing more soon.
School started... almost a thousand dollars later and i am a week into my 2 classes: anatomy physiology 1 and intro to sociology.
i have been trying to fit in time to sew for art in the park but the past week was more than hectic and i think i sewed like 10 lines... boooooo! i miss it!
so today, in need of a study break, i was able to snap some pix for you all.
2 weeks ago, when i came home from work my family was watching a singer machine on HSN. i tried to ignore it but they kept urging me to watch. they sewed right through 12 layers of denim and i was SOLD! wow! so on impulse i am now the proud owner of a singer heavy duty <3
no regrets

this one seems to be a rare find. i have researched it a little and cannot find any information. i do know it is by McCall's and the Tabasco brand (... yes, the hot sauce) but not really sure why these entities got together for a dress or what year. anyhow, i have it now =D
and my favorite of this bunch... makes me think of an elegant ballerina

JEALOUS of your patterns. I just recently started buying vintage patterns off etsy because I want to have a more vintage clothing style- so addictive!! Past clothing seems to be so much prettier than current trends.
ReplyDeleteHi Meg! You are sooooo right! Definitely addictive. I lucked out finding this girl on Craigslist who had tons and sold them to me dirt cheap! You should check out your local Craigslist posts.
ReplyDeleteso many great patterns!
