OWOP: Day 4

I used Simplicity 2892, view C as a starting point to copy an Antrhopologie shirt.  This was actually sewn for the Sew Weekly Make This Look Challenge, but I just never got around to shooting photos or making a post.  So, here it finally is.
I did the front the same as the pattern and then just used the back pattern piece as a guide for mine.  I had to play around with it to get it the way I wanted it in the back and then I was frustrated because the voile isn't quite heavy enough to drape nicely when I have it on.  The back ripple stuck out like some sort of fin or something so I had to sew it all down.
Worn with some super wide-leg navy linen pants from Anthro.

Sis Boom Love

I don't usually post here much about the kids clothes I make, but I couldn't resist since I've been featured over at the Sis Boom blog because of this dress.

If you love it, you'd better go grab it before someone else does!

OWOP: Day 3

Simplicity 2892 View C without the band at the bottom in voile by Anna Maria Horner.

Worn to a coffee date with a friend and other daily activities.

Pants from Anthro.

Shoes are Soda.

Spoiler alert:  I failed to sew a fifth top from this pattern like I had planned.  And then I felt sick on the fifth day.  You might be able to guess whether or not I succeeded in completing the OWOP challenge....

OWOP: Day 2

I chose Simplicity 2892 for Tilly's One Week One Pattern challenge (button in the side bar) and here is my second day out in my most recently completed version of this pattern. 

Day 2: View D in peacock printed shiny silky stuff from JoAnn.  I used the non-shiny side, so essentially the wrong side of the fabric, because I liked the matte look MUCH better.
Worn to church and lunch with my girls.  My four-year-old got her first chance to try a picture with my phone and this is the only one where a part of me wasn't cut off.  I think there's still some camera shake, but I'll take it!

I'm wearing the top with a gold-flecked brown shrug I've had forever and my turquoise Colette Clovers.

OWOP: Day 1

I chose Simplicity 2892 for Tilly's One Week One Pattern challenge (button found in side bar) because I already had three tops made from this pattern and a fourth one planned.
Day 1: View D in jade green floral rayon from Hancock Fabrics.  First blogged here.
Worn to the playground with hot pink knit circle scarf (also made by me), hot pink braided belt from Target and Gap jeans

Also worn with my bow headband from... oh my goodness... I can NOT recall the name of the shop now!  I will fill it in when I get my brain back.
Update: I found my brain and the shop is Blush Envy.

And here's a shot of my 2-year-old on the swing. :)  just for fun.

Simplicity 1872

After skipping a couple weeks of the Sew Weekly challenges, I got back on track and submitted a post for the Green theme.  I just realized this very second that I forgot to tag it like I was supposed to.  erg!  I hate it when people don't follow directions!
Here's the post and here are some more pictures for you to enjoy.

Clover - Styled

I was browsing over at Handmade by Carolyn and some of my favorite posts by her are the ones where she styles her garments in different ways.  Now, her style is impeccable and my post won't be nearly as good, but I thought I'd give it a go styling my Colette Clovers.

First up: Turquoise Clovers and Amy Butler Gothic Rose Sorbetto
Interestingly enough, I haven't been particularly thrilled with this top.  It's easy to wear, but I didn't feel like the length was the most flattering.  With these pants, though, I really like it.  Maybe there are more Sorbettos in my future after all.

Here's my attempt at dressing the Clovers up a little.  The only me made in this picture is the pants.

I made this blouse from Simplicity 2892 with Anna Maria Horner voile and really haven't worn it very much.  There are little niggly things about it that make me not reach for it, but I realize from this picture that it probably looks fine to everyone but me.

This is my short sleeved Sewaholic Renfrew in a cute apple print.  I got mine from Girl Charlee, but, last time I checked, Fabric.com had it in some other colorways.  You can't really see it in this picture, but the apples have red heart-shaped centers.

You might have noticed I got that remote shutter release I was talking about getting.  I can already tell it's going to make getting photos much easier.  Hooray!
