VV 1940's Bra

| Published 8.16.2012


I finally got my wearable muslin together. I used a cotton lawn. Overall it's pretty darn comfy. More a bralette than actual bra though, especially for us more well endowed ladies. I didn't line it since this was a muslin, and just finished the seam edges on the inside. The fit is pretty spot on, and I can't wait to do sew a more finished version. \


Love the cup support details!

Whatever Wednesdays: Atonement

| Published 8.15.2012

You know that everyone has that movie, which you seem to watch by default a lot? Well mine's been atonement for awhile. Not only is the story great, but the visuals and costumes are pretty much to die for. I mean really, check out these stills from the film. 


Pretty perfect right? Please don't get me started on the most amazing gown ever either. I mean, look at it! 


Needless to say I'm pretty stoked for Anna Karenina to come out. It's by the same director as Atonement, Mr. Joe Wright. 




Do you have a favorite movie you find inspiring? What movies are you excited for?

What's your color?

| Published 3.05.2012


I picked up a great little vintage sewing book a few years ago when I had just started started sewing. This week was actually the first time I flipped through it. It's from 1947 and is full of really awesome vintage sewing tips. Not to mention these great color diagrams based on hair and eye color! Wouldn't they be fun to do as a color palette for a wardrobe challenge? You don't really even have to stick to "your colors"! I'd fall under Brown hair and brown eyes right now since I've been sporting my natural locks for a bit. I've been black hair and brown eyes, and auburn and red though too! 



I'm hoping you all find these as interesting as I did!
