    Swirl yourself Oddly enough, I had just drooled over a Swirl inspired dress pattern that I can't buy right now on etsy and I had just finished washing and drying my first attempt at the Marian Martin pattern below, which after reading the fantastic Article at the start of this, appears to be a...

    Up Close Yes! I'll dig out the digital and get a shot of the material up close it's really cute. And I found it on the clearance table, so double bonus. I read the A Dress A Day post too! It's actually what reminded me to post in FL.

    Butterick 6633 I found this one on Etsy.com. It's dead stock from the 2000 run that Butterick did. I love it! I'm making it right now in tropical print and it's gone together so so easily. I believe the seller has it in more sizes too.

    Hi Cassylynn! I've made this particular pattern up probably almost half a dozen times by now, both the pants and the overalls. It's nice and easy, for the most part. if you want to put bottons on the side for the pants instead of the zipper you'll probably has to make your own facings and...

    Thank You! Thank you very much Joan, Joie and AnnaMaria. The material for the second suit is a rayon blend, I got it at Hancock a couple of weeks ago on Sale. It was part of their Spring Fabrics collection, so I think most of the stores got it..

    Lucite purses

    No, totally reasonable question. I paid $12 for my lucite purse at the Buffalo Exchange in Albuquerque, NM. It feels really thin and fragile to me though, and I've carried it a few times and I'm always afraid I'll break it. I know a shop owner who stocks the repros in his shop in ABQ. He's...

    Lucite purses

    New Lucite I've been drooling over these on MyBabyJo. I've got one lucite bag, black with a white lid. I'm terrified to carry it because I'm always scared it will get broken. These seem to be a good alternative.

    New Vintage Patterns Etsy's been good to me: Too classic, I couldn't pass it up.. Not sure what I'll make it in, yet. Summer dress.. Bring on the vintage-y calico... A little more modern then what I've been into lately, but, ironically, the only one i have material for. I'll...

    It's been a while since I've picked up anything good... Etsy has been very good to me this week.. Sorry about the photo quality. Not sure what's wrong with my screen capture software but it's giving everything the "wavy-gravy" treatment.
