March Madness

Ok, so I really sucked at creating something super awesome this month. It has been insanity. Between getting ready for two fashion shows and a trunk show, developing samples for my fall jacket collection, having a birthday, and working two other sewing based jobs, there hasn't been too much extra time. But, I did manage to scrape this up.

The cardigan is a Rosabode design. If you have never been to Rose's shop on NE Fremont and 42nd, you have no idea what you are missing out on. It is the most cuddly and adorable shop you will ever walk in to. And you can find super adorable clothes there now, too! Along with me sewing along in the back room:)

I may not have been the creative force behind this cardigan but I did develop the pattern and sew it. So, I'm counting it! And the dress is so simple its kind of ridiculous. But, then again, it is so simple and comfortable I'll probably wear it everyday. It perfect for layer and pretty much feels like you are wearing nothing at all. Sometimes all you need is black jersey knit.

Recycle, reduce, REUSE!


February garment done! And just under a week late. But, whatever, this is my blog and I don't really like rushing anything. In the spirit of reusing, this dress came about from an old curtain.

I figured since it is a grandma curtain, that it had to become a sexy dress (or as sexy as it could be) Its a little frilly, a little hippy, a little cowgirl, all rolled into one. Pretty impressive.
