A cute little custom order

I love boleros and I love brown & pink. This is custom request that I probably won't be getting to it until November well hopefully sooner.

Hurry Hurry only a little time left on a Audrey Hepburn GIVENCHY Pattern!

OMG I want it but it is out of my price range so I'm sharing it with you all. It is ending soon. No it's not my auction and I'm going to be jealous of whoever wins it. Click here for the link.

Here is the gorgerous pattern.

Front and back (only 9 pieces)

Get the look without paying the price

So I'm going through pages of vintage patterns and I came across this 1960's pattern that is really cute but $30.00!
Mod Vintage 1960s Vogue Americana Pattern for a Dress designed by Chuck Howard, Pattern # 1873

Well instead of paying $30.00 I think I will wait for a 99 cent sale at Joanne's and just get this McCall's pattern 6028. Would just have to flare out the skirt a little.

Finally after dreaming of making this dress for over a year

I get to make it! Yeah!!! Grace Kelly, icon of fashion. So beautiful so elegant so beyond words. She's only second to my favorite Audrey Hepburn. Here is the dress. Stay tuned I have an Oct. 20th deadline so I have to get busy.

Who watches Project Runway and is disappointed?

Last season and the season before I couldn't wait until Thursday to watch the designers. This season is a total bore to me. Anyone else agree or I'm just being partial to Seth who rocked last season!

I missed last week and didn't even watch tonight's episode.

Completed PS I Love You Dress...I'm pretty happy

I love this dress so much! I need to make myself one. As you can tell from my picture I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Can anyone find my mistake from my previous bodice post?

It is unfortunate that a shop on Etsy has been using my blog and my reviews on patterns.com to list the same items as me. It is flattering but at the same time irritating especially when the same pictures are used.

I really love sharing how I hack patterns, make my own pieces to create, recreate garments but at the same time I'm trying to run a business and giving away your secrets sometimes hurts.

After all the work I did with this dress I found an actual pattern that would make this dress entirely except for the pockets. Message me if you just want to make this dress for yourself and I will give you the pattern number.

Aside from the buttons the bodice is complete. Here is the front and back view:

Got to love the line up of the plaid!
