Sewing!! ta da!! That's part of Sushi Apron. It's a Raffle Prize/Auction Item for the benefit in my previous post. It's from a 1950s pattern. I love it. I'm gonna have hard time parting with it.
These have been a great way to use up old novelty print cotton that i've horded for years.
See the other one? It's pink poodles! I bought a retarded amount of that material about five years ago. Made myself a tote bag and a skirt, used both exactly once and came to my senses. I sold the tote and skirt to Buffalo as quick as i could and I buried the rest of the material in my drawers. But it makes a great apron.
The leopard print thing over it is a wiggle dress. I'm going to actually model that one today. Best boy is being recruited to photograph for me and I'm going to try modeling some of my creations. I've sold two items in the past week and I'm thinking that the dress maker's dummy helps but a person in them would help more. So, I'll shave and put on some make-up and set my hair.. You know not look like a train wreck..
And since I sold two pieces:
It's called "Make Do and Mend" it's from the war years. It's got oodles of great photos and PATTERNS in it! Woot!
And this....
Heck yes! I've wanted to learn to sew naughty bits for a while now. I've played around with a few patterns over the years and I've gotten good at making some costume related pieces but nothing that you could wear every day really. So I found this!
Ooh oh oh... Random SHOE DROOL...
I did NOT buy these as I have no money in the show fund and I'm not sure that I like the actual heel. It seems too narrow for me. But aren't they cute?!
