Hello again everyone! Hope all is well and grand! I'm here to present to you a new garment I made. Lately I've been gravitating towards a more 60's look nothing too loud and vibrant and especially towards the long maxi dresses with fun sleeves. So I took a trip down to Mood and picked out a lovely silk fabric.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the pattern I choose, I loved pattern A but I didn't like the openness and the ribbons on the front so I just switched out that bodice with the the bodice from B. Now I've never worked with a silk fabric before and it was actually pretty difficult but I have to say it was worth it.<br />

It came out so beautiful and I'm still in awe that I made this! This dress flows so beautifully and is so soft and stunning! I decided to name her Barb and she is an daytime nighttime dress. Wear out with your friends on a beach/shopping day or wear it out on a date this dress will surely attract the right kind of attention!<br />

It's been a while, I've been so busy with work school and making more garments to show you all. Lately I've been making skirts because I can make them with less time and ease and you can never have enough different style of skirts. Now the skirts I'm attracted to are the full skirts just because I love to twirl around and dance in them and I found an awesome pattern that I had to have.<br />

This is a lovely pinafore skirt and I absolutely had to have this amazing pattern so I snatched it up real quick. With a trip to the Long Beach Depot of Creative Reuse and Mood fabrics I made two lovely skirts with two fun personalities. </div>

This is fabric I got from mood and is a plaid wool blend and is very warm has a nice poof even without the canvas underskirt I was wearing at the time. This skirt requires a simple top but can have some fun accessories but I choose to keep it simple to show off the skirt.</div>

And did I mention these skirts had pockets! I'm a sucker for a skirt with pockets because I really don't like carrying around a purse because I'm the forgetful type and I don't like it weighing me down.<br />

Now the next skirt I created was using fabric I bought from my friends shop Long Beach Depot of Creative Reuse and they carry a lot of knick knacks and items people usually throw out, its an artists heaven.<br />
<br />
The fabric I'm not sure but it is very thick and heavy but not as warm as the skirt above.<br />

Hello everyone! it has been a while since I last posted a creation of mine but it has been a long and crazy year. So I'm going to jump right in and say I've decided to use Mood fabrics as my main source of fabric nothing against Joanns it is just Mood offers a wider range of good high quality fabric so I've been making more fabric purchases from them.</div>

Now over the year I have been sewing but just small pieces like skirts and pants for myself but haven't been making bigger pieces like dresses and whole outfits just for financial reasons but in this post I'll be sharing a dress and a skirt that I made so I hope you enjoy.<br />
<br />
So I present to you Kendra!<br />

Kendra is a dress for the woman on the go, lunch with friends, going out on the town on a beautiful sunny day, shopping etc. It's a nice print that isn't too overwhelming on the eyes and I really love how she came out.</div>

Next is a circle skirt I made using fabric I got from my friends shop. I'm not sure what the fabric type is but it feels pretty sturdy though it wrinkles easily. I used/drafted a circle skirt using an old vintage pattern and eyeing it to make it fit me.</div>

It is that time to share another creation with you, lately it has been hard to find good fabric at Joanns because I'm just so picky and I never have the funds for mood so I tried my hand at looking for fabric on etsy and I was not disappointed. I choose 5 yards of a rayon fabric that had a great vintage look to it.<br />
<br />

This was the pattern I used, style A. However the way I situated the print with the pattern made it so that I couldn't make the skirt portion of the dress so I improvised and used a skirt pattern that I could use with the little left over fabric I had. While the outcome was not a full skirt look I still love the way the dress came out. Now let me introduce Estella!</div>

This is the pattern I used, this pattern I have been searching for, for over a year now. I found a listing for it but the seller was just asking way too much and on a whim about a month ago I searched around again and I found another seller selling it for much cheaper and of course I snatched it up. I love these pants as well as the top but I mainly fell in love with the pants because I love high waisted pants and they are just so slim and sleek. I was only able to make the pants not the top since money has been tight.</div>

And here are the pants, I used a cotton stripped denim I got on sale at Joann's. It is very softly and slightly sheer but not sheer enough to where it is inappropriate. I paired it with a sleeveless white turtle neck, a vintage head scarf as well as atomic lunch bag turned into purse that I'll shall shortly.</div>

Though I must say I'm still wearing a lot of fall colors I just can't help it I gravitate towards darker colors and hues. Recently I've been buying a lot of patterns that are separates instead of dress patterns because I want to be able to mix and match my creations. While looking around on etsy I found this beautiful skirt pattern that I just had to have.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the pattern and I just fell in love so of course I bought though it was a very large pattern so I ended up having to shorten in when I transferred it to fabric. The type of fabric I used was a linen blend so it drapes very well though I'd watch out for windy days.</div>

This is my lovely circle skirt, I shopped around Joanns for two hours and still ended up picking a dark color but I really love this color brown. I paired it with some vintage boots I received, some brown tights and a sleeveless turtle neck with minimal accessories. I really love this entire outfit and the scarf is also vintage. This can be a fun flirty outfit that can even be worn to a laid back job.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really had fun creating this skirt because it's something simple to make and you can make a ton with different designs on it like on the pattern shown.</div>

<br />
I'm here to introduce another dress to you and it's sooner than you all probably expected though I did make this dress a couple of months back I got a chance to be able to have a photo shoot so I could share this with you. The pattern I used was something I just stumbled across on esty and I fell in love.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the pattern and I believe it's from the late 50's early 60's and I just loved the block pattern for the top and bottom of the dress for dress A and I loved the scallops for B.<br />
<br />
I planned to make custom orders for this dress but money has been tight as of late however if any readers would like to discuss getting this dress made for them just drop me a line.<br />
<br />
Now I would like to introduce Carrie.<br />

I loved the colors used for dress A so much I recreated it, and it's amazing! I used Linen for the white portion which gives it a little weight though the down side is the wrinkles.</div>

So Carrie is more of a spring into summer kind of dress, you'd wear her out on a nice day, to the beach, park etc. I really do love this dress and she was fun to make and if you'd like to have this dress custom made for you just drop me a line. :) I hope to bring you more creations soon I hope you enjoyed.</div>

Of course it's been a while since I posted an outfit a lot has been going but I have been creating outfits. The garment I am about to share with you I made about a month ago so wow I'm now sharing it with you now.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is the pattern I used. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWMTsys06uesoEOYOKhMOBV4HsRJQCKx_KLfcAXknN3LH1mdHEvmBFAlPSJIn-egoOwOiIiluTX2oqKChdubz5l_s2cSzg35X41K4OP2JmJoZ60vGVuPvnXPCjRGibKPLxQ-uB_nLerFU/s1600/il_570xN_438579963_hzhy.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWMTsys06uesoEOYOKhMOBV4HsRJQCKx_KLfcAXknN3LH1mdHEvmBFAlPSJIn-egoOwOiIiluTX2oqKChdubz5l_s2cSzg35X41K4OP2JmJoZ60vGVuPvnXPCjRGibKPLxQ-uB_nLerFU/s640/il_570xN_438579963_hzhy.jpg" /> </a><br />
<br />I've really been into wiggle dresses, I love how they look on my figure and they just make feel badass. The cape I didn't make just because it doesn't really match the southern California weather but it doesn't mean I won't make the cape.<br />
<br />
This was fun and interesting pattern to work with, it was a one piece outfit too so the bodice and skirt are connected which I didn't know at first.<br />
<br />
So now I introduce Moira<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I chose a heavy cotton for the skirt and a softer but thick cotton for the top. I loved the color scheme I chose for the outfit and I tied it together with some vintage red shoes I purchased. The dress is quite slimming and accentuates my curves but at the same time isn't too tight to where as you can't move around.<br />

So Moira is the type of flirty femme fatale dress, she has an air of dangerous mystery about her. If you saw a woman wear this across the room you'd get the idea that she would take you on a fun thrilling adventure. I really enjoyed making her and I see myself wearing her a lot.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone enjoyed and I can't wait to share another garment with you all.<br />
<br />

Its been a while since I've posted a creation for you all and I apologize for that I've been busy with so many things and tight with funds and such I haven't gotten around to making anything but I do have a dress to share with you.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I created this dress a while back but I wasn't able to post it up for you all to see, at the time I was really feeling floral, Hawaiian style prints and I just had the idea to create a dress with it and yes I know Hawaiian print and dresses don't necessarily mix but I made it work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern I used was a pattern that I've shared before and is the one I used to create a dress for my mother on mothers day.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the pattern as a reminder, I really love style B of the pattern and its something you can easily make again and again but switch it up with different prints and just adding your own style.</div>

Flora is a tricky dress to accessorize with so I just chose black flats with studs, a black belt, and a black cardigan because you can never go wrong with black. Flora is a sunny day outing kind of dress. She can be worn to a luncheon with friends or just spending the day shopping or hanging with friends. I enjoyed making her, I'm hoping to be able to post more soon.</div>

I will post the pattern on my etsy starting next week Jan 8th. I use Joann's to pick up fabrics so if you would like you can pick out the fabric you want from Joann's. I am taking preorders so if you want to discuss color, type of fabric or measurements you can message me on my etsy page, etsy.com/anezvintageclothing.</div>

Long time no see, hope you're all enjoying the last leg of the weekend I'm not ready for it to be over. I've been very busy with school and other personal matters and the fact that I've been extremely strapped for funds so I haven't gotten a chance to sew anything.<br />
<br />
However lately I've been trying get more fall colors or should I say I've been more attracted to fall colors as you've seen with my previous post so I am pleased to introduce my newest creation Bette.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And did I mention I cut my hair? :) Well I digress, this is Bette the first dress I made with sleeves in a while too bad the weather is too hot to fully enjoy her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created her using this pattern below.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The funny thing is Bette didn't come out entirely like the pattern shown but that doesn't mean she's any less great if anything she has her own little special charm to her.</div>

Here's a clearer shot of her on the dress form. I got the fabric of course from Joann's and it is 100% cotton. I didn't have a whole lot of trouble creating her and it was actually very fun since I haven't been able to sew in a while.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With my short hair I think it compliments the dress wonderfully and its actually great having short hair though I don't believe I fit the vintage pinup aesthetics but I like to think I make it work. :)</div>

Its been so hot and I heard its only going to get hotter so I won't be doing a whole lot of sewing until it cools down but I did want to introduce you to my latest creation.<br />
<br />
Okay so I decided to join a sewalong hosted by <a href="http://www.luckylucille.com/" target="_blank">Lucky Lucille</a> and <a href="http://www.bygumbygolly.com/" target="_blank">By Gum, By Golly</a> these lovely ladies are amazing and I wanted to be a part of a group of many seamstresses from all over the globe and sew with them. A virtual sewing circle :) Now I finished my project early and decided to share with you guys so I hope you enjoy. :)<br />

This is Doris! I created her from a recent purchase of a 1950's pattern piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is the pattern shown above and the fabric and buttons I used. This was my first time working with the intricate details in pattern, the side scallop opening.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Initially the bust was two small for me but it seems the person he had the pattern before me cut it in a way that fit me perfectly so I thank them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I will admit the scallops where a bit of a challenge for me because I wanted them to have a perfect rounded shape because I'm a perfectionist but I knew that wouldn't happen the first go around but I'm proud of the way it came out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now the fabric I used was an on sale 100% cotton fabric from Joanns. Though I did have a hard time picking out the right fabric for the pattern because it couldn't be something too detailed because it would have thrown off the scallop detail so I went with a simple gold/ brown dot print which is perfect for fall and tied it with some nice brown buttons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was so in love with Doris I even made a custom fall inspired flower headband which you can see in the above picture.</div>

Time to share another creation of mine. :) Lately I've been feeling tropical prints nothing to flashy but nice prints that aren't in your face. I haven't been able to do a whole lot of fabric shopping because my funds have been going elsewhere and as it gets close to school I have no idea if I'll be making more outfits but I'll cross that bridge once I get to it.<br />

Now I'm trying something new and just introducing my creation out right. :) This is Tessa and she was a joy to make. I used a pattern I purchased recently, the bust was too small so I just altered the pattern to fit me.</div>

This is the pattern in question and you know I had to buy it up real quick. This pattern is so cute and perfect for this lovely southern California weather we've been having. I choose not to make the bolero because I just couldn't afford it at the time. I've noticed that I buy a lot of Marian Martin patterns.</div>

For the photo shoot wise it was taken at two different locations. The first location being the duck pond near my boyfriends house. It was actually very beautiful, well the water not so much. It was quiet and peaceful though I have a strong fear of geese's and they were everywhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now as you can see I did a little contrast with Tessa, I made the collar a solid white and the rest a tropical print I choose from a trip to Joanns. The tropical print fabric is a cotton blend and has a nice flow to it and is very soft without being overtly see through.</div>

Having a little fun :) And as you can see I've been trying a new hair style, the bumper bangs. My hair is so short I can't really do much with it vintage style wise but the bumper bangs and pin curls give me my own little unique look that I love. </div>

Long time no post, I've been super busy and super strapped for cash lately so I haven't gotten around to making anything. However that doesn't mean my brain wasn't racked with ideas I actually felt myself going through withdrawal because I haven't sewn in so long so I decided when I got paid again I would finally take that trip<br />
down to Mood fabrics.<br />
<br />
So my boyfriend, little brother and I took a trip to downtown LA to Mood fabrics and I had to hold myself back from losing my mind in there because they have such a large selection of fabric that could put Joanns to shame.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGUAgQOQemI8zMZOiH51klB0gaC7tPF7j_tg9A_BSHpP6GqG8bVnISojkj2x3iEU_QqOxKC60cmiw6lKOncCXDEk_FlWnxGqY-Lgn7GVtV6KFGF9r3XpdhqP4weSVZBDVAAPdwAEOF1sI/s1600/20130711_130723.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGUAgQOQemI8zMZOiH51klB0gaC7tPF7j_tg9A_BSHpP6GqG8bVnISojkj2x3iEU_QqOxKC60cmiw6lKOncCXDEk_FlWnxGqY-Lgn7GVtV6KFGF9r3XpdhqP4weSVZBDVAAPdwAEOF1sI/s400/20130711_130723.jpeg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this just one wall of fabric at Mood and mind you they have several walls just stacked with fabric just so drool worthy. My brain was just racing a mile a minute, which fabric do I get? What will I make? Do I have the money for it? Lets be honest Mood is not at all cheap but they have better quality so its worth the purchase. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did walk away with two bundles of fabric which came to a total of almost $100. One of the fabrics was from Ralph Lauren which explains why it was almost $100 I spent. So I did plan on making a dress using a recently purchased pattern however I decided to go back to an old pattern I used once before which was that one from the previous post.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://anezvintage.blogspot.com/2013/03/shes-filled-with-secrets.html">http://anezvintage.blogspot.com/2013/03/shes-filled-with-secrets.html</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I like that particular pattern because its like a blank canvas and you can play around with different ideas which I did with this dress. What inspired me with this dress was actually the fact that I've been feeling soft pastel colors especially green and I felt like creating something especially girly and playful.<br />
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I would like to introduce you to my latest creation, Talula....!<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is Talula and as you can she tell she is completely different from my other creations. The idea of the lace collar as well as the faux button top popped into my head one sleepless night and I decided to go with it. I really enjoyed creating her.</div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a close up of the collar and faux button up look. Now the fabric I worked with was actually really great to use and 100% cotton and its that durable type of cotton that is strong but still has a nice flow and stretch to it. The lace I got from Joanns and was on sale for a dollar that I had laying around and was actually nice and durable to work with as well.<br />

Talula is the type of dress you wear on a clear sunny day to just do anything, go out to eat, go out shopping, hang with friends and even work etc. She is very versatile though she isn't really a night out on the town dress. </div>

Talula was a dress of trying new ideas and I enjoyed and loved how she came out and I hope to bring more outfits to everyone. :) Till next time.</div>

Sorry its been so long since I've posted but life has become somewhat hectic. I'm happy to share with you that I got a job recently and I'm super excited yet nervous about it. However the nice paycheck I got earlier this week as lit a fire in me. I haven't been purchasing a whole lot of fabric lately but when my next paycheck comes in I'll be buying a nice load of fabric to make more outfits.<br />
<br />
Now I was able to acquire a pattern I was watching for quite some time a while back and I'll be sharing with you the results.<br />
<br />
This is the pattern I got.<br />

Isn't this pattern gorgeous! I loved the set up of the pockets and the neckline it even has pattern pieces to make a bolero though I didn't make one for the dress I'll be presenting to you. The bust for this was a 35 which is rare for me to find on etsy and was at a good price for me to just snatch it up. So took a trip to Joanns and got this lovely fabric which had a nice print to it. </div>

Here she is a work in progress. I believe the fabric is a cotton blend...once again my terrible habit of not taking down the blend or type of fabric returns. I just get so excited I don't really stop to take down the fabric information.</div>

:) I'm very proud at how she turned out, she fits in all the right places and the neckline looks great. I loved making the pockets though. I love pockets on dresses I think they're just too cute and its a great way to store stuff if the cardigan or any kind of jacket you're styling with Darla doesn't have pockets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Darla is great for everyday and workday she's long enough as to not get you in trouble if you're job has a strict dress code but short enough to make it fun and flirty for a day out. A simple black belt, cardigan and some nice accessories completes her for an everyday look and can transition over to work.</div>

Anyways I wanted to post this on Mothers day but I am a tad late but this post is an appreciation post to my mother. Lately I've been making more and more outfits for her because why not?<br />
<br />
My mother has been in my corner since the day I was born and has been supporting me in my sewing adventures. She's there when I need her and offers advice and critiques. Without her support I don't know where I'd be right now so this post is dedicated to her.<br />
<br />
Once again this is a two for one post so I'm sharing some dresses I made for my mother. The first dress I made I actually made a while back and I'm just getting the chance to share with you. My mom picked out the fabric for this dress, its a very colorful argyle print and has a soft corduroy which oddly my mom didn't like but it was soft and a nice flow and she couldn't pass it up. :) <br />
<br />
Below is the pattern I used to create the dress.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This pattern required a lot of fabric and had an interesting twist to it which I will share in a moment. The process of making this dress was a long and tedious one because I wanted to make sure everything was just right. :)</div>

Sorry for the bad picture quality but this is the dress as I was working on it and if you think that is the front of the dress you'd be wrong. :) TWIST! its the back and it actually looks really great. However with this dress you'd need a helping hand.</div>

Isn't she grand! I had to use a petticoat to give her that fullness but she can be worn without one. I adored the colors and the print of the fabric itself and she has a nice flow to her and I like how she isn't too overwhelming despite the bold bright print.</div>

Simone is a flirty fun dress which you'd could wear just about anywhere, maybe at work that isn't too strict about the dress code. Simone is a statement dress she'll turn heads. :)</div>

The next dress I'll be sharing with you I made for mom for mothers day. :) This dress had a lot of trials for me. I didn't get enough fabric for the dress so I borrowed my boyfriends bike and rode all the way to Joanns which was not the best idea but I wanted to complete the dress before she got home for mothers day. However the fabric I originally got Joanns no longer had so I had to pick a different fabric which was a tad sheerer than the one I originally purchased. The print I chose was a white fabric with black polka dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I was able to finish the dress an hour after mom returned home on mothers day which was fine with me because she got her gift on mothers day. </div>

I bought this pattern with the idea that I don't have enough wiggle dress patterns and I absolutely love wiggle dresses. It was actually a pretty complex pattern to work with especially with the darts, faux back belt and collar but it was actually pretty fun to make.</div>

Now I have no pictures of Dotty on my dress form because my dress form didn't do her justice fit wise but this is her. Dolly is sheer like I said and would require a slip to wear her. The pattern originally had pockets but mom opted not to have those.</div>

However I would first like to add that I turned 21 on April 26th! so I'm still super excited about reaching the 21st milestone I still feel like a kid but I also feel older which is a crazy feeling. <br />
<br />
Now besides it being my birthday I finally opened up my etsy shop yay! So I'm feeling super proud of myself. I also took the time to make my own name labels which is as equally exciting.<br />
<br />
The outfits I'll be presenting to you are the playsuits I previously made in this post: 04/pink-flamingo.html">http://anezvintage.blogspot.com/2013/04/pink-flamingo.html<br />
<br />
I'm actually really in love with the pattern as you can tell so I decided to make both the skirt and the shorts together and sell them on my etsy. Both outfits were very time consuming and took a lot of effort because I was being a perfectionist. The first outfit I'll be presenting to you, her name is Lydia and she's made of a softer yet durable fabric I believe the same fabric I used to me Laura.<br />
<br />
Now Presenting Lydia...<br />
<br />
<br />

I apologize my dress form doesn't really do her justice here but I did have one of my models model her for me. Now I made Lydia out of all black because I was having a Beetlejuice moment and thought a playsuit would look great in all black especially since you can accessorize like crazy and add splashes of color if you so desire. Now these playsuits something I forgot to mention in the last post can be worn with or without a bra depending on your preference, however if you do decide to go braless I'd advise wearing pasties just in case.<br />
Here are some more picture of Lydia being worn by my other model Emily, Emily is 5"4 with a bust of 33 and a waist of 28 just to give you an idea of the fit.<br />

Emily was so awesome to work with and the outfits look great on her, we didn't do a whole lot of accessorizing her just a simple colorful head tie that gave the outfit that pop of color. :)</div>

Now the final outfit was a joy to work with and has to be one of my favorite color combinations I've used. With the skirt pattern it was actually way longer than the pictures I'm about to show you because the pattern is originally made for pajamas so I had to shorten it. I actually shortened it in such a way that was perfect.</div>

Isn't she gorgeous! :) I had to give myself a pat on the back on this one because the colors and print just blend so well together. :) The skirt portion is made of a lighter sheerer fabric so you'd have to wear a slip underneath but it has a great flow.</div>

These two outfits I believe are made for woman who is going beach side to enjoy a hot and sunny day. Lorelei is very playful and fun while Lydia is more reserved and laid back.</div>

Recently I went to Joanns with my mother and we bought a boat load of fabric so the past few days I've been nonstop sewing. So far I've made three things but I'll be showing you the second project I've completed.<br />
<br />
Now while at Joanns I spotted this adorable fabric with a flamingo print on it and I just knew that is was perfect for the 40's pajama pattern that I bought recently. Now this project took roughly about a day and I improvised in some areas.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaHPBARzchZ93G80UFhLtnuvCz7MlgI3xXhdU5mF-zVDzb7D-qcS0dq_E9jJXQJnuksgD31J-SqeOvuJZQKHznRz-3u9KkLx8HlGHLLgxPiMuhID6uif2qLSyOp_ZyFTOj5YpXg2kCiNQ/s1600/AnitaOG.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="580" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaHPBARzchZ93G80UFhLtnuvCz7MlgI3xXhdU5mF-zVDzb7D-qcS0dq_E9jJXQJnuksgD31J-SqeOvuJZQKHznRz-3u9KkLx8HlGHLLgxPiMuhID6uif2qLSyOp_ZyFTOj5YpXg2kCiNQ/s640/AnitaOG.jpg" width="640" /> </a><br />
<br />
I shared this pattern in my previous pattern collection. This is a pajama pattern but I thought it would be cuter as a day/beach outfit. There was a piece missing which was the cuff for the sleeve so I just put my own spin on it and I made the pants a tad shorter. :) Now I'm a real stickler about buying interfacing because I am a cheap broke college student even though I should have bought some for this outfit but either way it still came out great.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPKZt3DJ5CgshOijIItTdvZaY-4yECJzyRdtVZrxWLJdBFCNf2J1wosmMoC27f54qWmEcAX7XviNma-SaNMTDFwQwhusrL5fWf5HRZvtcpiIYOnVaJpNXhK_ucpbAB9aoqvkQOc8sIIhU/s1600/Anita3.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPKZt3DJ5CgshOijIItTdvZaY-4yECJzyRdtVZrxWLJdBFCNf2J1wosmMoC27f54qWmEcAX7XviNma-SaNMTDFwQwhusrL5fWf5HRZvtcpiIYOnVaJpNXhK_ucpbAB9aoqvkQOc8sIIhU/s640/Anita3.jpeg" width="428" /> </a><br />
<br />
This is the fabric :) the pattern itself had a smaller bust size so I had to adjust the size using the pattern paper I purchased.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpGDeMUn7DIO8shRrozJnfhb7IdXYCkz8byZpfmQQ5ypN5KRtijfX_UigRZBy1HnMsbdUaL40VA7u77SxLqwkr3Dg6ZMlcrBG4iPSNoXMrfFSm2PBv6zuHFKePTTbQxJruOZRDM5poEeo/s1600/Anita2.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpGDeMUn7DIO8shRrozJnfhb7IdXYCkz8byZpfmQQ5ypN5KRtijfX_UigRZBy1HnMsbdUaL40VA7u77SxLqwkr3Dg6ZMlcrBG4iPSNoXMrfFSm2PBv6zuHFKePTTbQxJruOZRDM5poEeo/s640/Anita2.jpeg" width="480" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgSgsZvfUrcuAJ80kH8g7Yh8PoPAJ4mwZbNZovtqpipwSR88_j7g6iOhHvvNqh6mWkpgggx_BpAtUAj6UAWugGomzAyghwXAG1KyQRnUwYV5-zhBdBoYO6uQTJhHD4qPaCtF7UCNJs1cw/s1600/Anita1.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="588" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgSgsZvfUrcuAJ80kH8g7Yh8PoPAJ4mwZbNZovtqpipwSR88_j7g6iOhHvvNqh6mWkpgggx_BpAtUAj6UAWugGomzAyghwXAG1KyQRnUwYV5-zhBdBoYO6uQTJhHD4qPaCtF7UCNJs1cw/s640/Anita1.jpeg" width="640" /> </a><br />
<br />
This is both the top and bottom of the outfit before completion and at first I thought it would be too overwhelming but it actually came together quite nicely.<br />
<br />
Now let me introduce you to Anita :)<br />
<br />

<br />
I tried a different area in which to do my photo shoot so I and my wonderful boyfriend/photographer went down to San Pedro which turned out to be the perfect area to do the shoot.<br />
<br />

<br />
I actually had a really good time doing this shoot and the water was freezing!<br />
<br />
Now Anita is the type of outfit you wear on a hot day to the beach or a car show. She's flirty and fun and I had a great time creating her. :)<br />
<br />
That's it for now, hopefully I can share more creations with you soon hope you enjoyed and feel free to comment if you would like.<br />
<br />
Side note: I'm hoping to open up my Esty shop next month so I can start selling some of my creations. <br />

Happy Easter! It is another beautiful day in southern California and with my recent weather update its going to get even more beautiful and hotter. This means I have to break out all my spring/summer cloths which should be fun since my closet is overing flowing with clothes right now to the point where my door is broken haha. Anyways I've been pattern shopping once again and have been buying summer related patterns though I don't believe I'll be buying fabric anytime soon due to higher priorities. <br />
<br />
So I would like to share my pattern collection for spring/summer.<br />
<br />

This is my lastest purchase off esty and oh my gosh did I hit a gold mine this week. This pattern wasn't too expensive around $20 but it was very well spent. This pattern is perfect for spring/summer and I just adore it. Theres a third outfit; its a dress but it was cut out. This will be the first time I'll be making three outfits so this project will be a long one but well worth it. <br />

This is another gold mine find for me. this pattern cost me only $12! Its a pajama pattern but I can see some use of it as a day outfit. I believe this is a 1940's pattern I'm not entirely sure. I cannot wait to get started on this beauty.</div>

This is Charlotte and I like the colors they used in the pattern so I decided to use them in my garment. The collar was a very interesting make and I enjoyed how she came out. Charlotte is the kind of dress you would wear on a nice summer day maybe out for a stroll or a picnic. Somewhat reserved but still playful and fun. :)</div>

Man this Southern California weather doesn't know what it wants to do. One day its cloudy and windy the next its sunny and hot its crazy haha, but I love it. :) I am happy to share another dress with you. This particular dress was filled with experiments and trying new things. The pattern I used for this dress was actually too small for me, in the bust area that is. So I decided to purchase pattern paper and adjust the size so that it would fit. I searched around for how to resize patterns and I kinda just took different aspects and it was actually pretty simple I surprised myself. I purchased the pattern paper off of amazon and it was 12 dollars. When I first got it, it felt really soft and flimsy but it was actually quite durable.<br />

This is the pattern I used, its such a lovely pattern and I had to have it and as you can see the bust is a 32 which I am not haha. I only made the dress I didn't make the jacket because money has been tight lately so I couldn't afford anymore fabric.</div>

This is my new kitten Max :) he is a super playful kitten and was trying to help me sew but the little guy was actually in my way but it was cute he tried. The fabric I choose was a cotten blend though I can't really remember what it was blended with. I need to be more aware of the blends but it is very soft however it is a bit see through but that is easily fixed with a slip. The dress itself took around a day to complete though I did make some minor adjustments with the zipper.<br />

As you can see I did a little embroidery on the collar, they are crescent moons hence the name of this post. It took a couple of tries with the moons because I am a perfectionist but I like how they turned out and they gave the dress more personality.</div>

As I said before this dress came with me trying new things and one of them was putting them on someone besides me or my mother. This is the first time I've used a model since sometimes its hard for me to have someone else take pictures of me in the dress for some reason. My friend volunteered to be my model and I love her so much for that. I was a little nervous doing the photoshoot since it was my first time really doing anything like that and I'm not professional photographer but I like how the pictures turned out.</div>

No real accessories with this dress because its fine on its own but it can accessorized with many different things. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luna is the type of dress worn by someone who is going out and about shopping, out a nice restaurant or just enjoying a sunny day at the beach. I would categorize this dress as a spring/summer dress.</div>

The idea was to have my friend model it for me but I couldn't wait for next week I wanted to share her with you now.<br />
<br />
Now recently I've been watching the 90's show Twin Peaks and I entirely blame the people I follow on tumblr haha. I was lucky that netflix has both seasons streaming online and I fell in love with the show. It was something different and unqiue especially for a 90's show. I would have to say my favorite character is Audrey Horne I could swoon about her for hours but the dress I created was not where I drew the inspiration.<br />
<br />
I based this dress on the Red Room, I loved the layout and colors used in the room. However I couldn't get my hands on fabric that had the black and white design on it so I used a deep red. The pattern I used is from the 60's and yes I got it off etsy. :) <br />
<br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the pattern. I really loved the way it looked and the flow it had to it and it was relatively easy to sew. The fabric I used with a cotton spandex blend but its very soft and has a great flow. :) However I wanted to give the dress a Twin Peaks feel so I was going to do some embroidery however I am not the best when it comes to emboridery so I did my best with her.</div>

This is her before I did the embroidery, she came out very well and I'm so proud I just can't get over how soft the fabric is without being super thin and see through.</div>

This is me wearing Laura and she does have great flow I was very shocked and surprised when I spun around the first time haha. The type of person I see in Laura is a fun and flirty girl who isn't afraid to take risks and go on adventures. This great for an everyday outting and you can even dress it up for a night on the town. Shes very versatile. :)</div>

Sorry I've been gone for a while, I've been busy with school among other things. So this post is dedicated to my ever growing pattern collection. Ever since I learned how to sew in school I've been buying up patterns left and right off my favorite shopping site etsy. <br />
<br />
I usually go for vintage 40's and 50's patterns but I do love the occasional 60's pattern and I even have a pattern from the 80's. However the draw back with older patterns is that once they can be incredibly expensive and two they don't fit my large bust size. At first I would struggle just to find a bust 34 pattern which isn't my bust size but I can fit into it but now I've decided to just go for the smaller bust sizes and alter the pattern to make it fit me. So with that being said I will be buying more patterns and it will be to the point where I need like a huge storage trunk which I do need for my clothes anyway just to fit all my patterns.<br />
<br />
I've also been trying to get my close friends to start modeling my clothes for me just because its hard to get someone to take pictures of me when I want them too. As of right now I just have one friend who will model for me right now.<br />
<br />
So let me show you a small portion of my pattern collection.<br />
<br />

Alright so this a bit of my patter collection, some of these I've made some I haven't. Starting with the very bottom left is one of the first patterns I used and probably one of the first patterns I purchased off etsy. I fell in love with the neckline and sleeves and how they came together and it was very well priced and it fit my bust size. :)</div>

This is me modeling the dress who I named Gene :) This is actually one of my go to dress though I try not to wear her too close together. I'm really proud at how she turned out though the fabric I used was a thin cotton from Joanns.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The two patterns in the middle I've already displayed in previous posts, Lucy and Venus. Now the very first pattern I made for a friend and she is gorgeous and wonderful. She customized the way it looked herself and I just sew it for her. :) I was actually really proud and she looked amazing in it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Afternoon everyone I hope you had a great weekend and a great Valentines day :). My week has actually been quite stressful, my cat Sassy died suddenly, she was only three years old so I haven't been really motivated to do much of anything and spring semester for my school started as well so I've been preoccupied with that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My lastest creation is something that is a classic staple in ones closet...the little black dress. We all at least have one, that cute dress that you can do just about anything with. So I decided it was time I make my own little black dress :). I used a pattern I used perviously for another dress but with this dress I added sleeves to it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My goal for this dress was to get a thicker fabric because the cheaper ones I use at Joanns are too sheer so I wanted to take a trip to downtown LA to the garment district but my budget was tight so I just decided to go to Joanns and get the more expensive fabric. If you want good flow and looks you have to got for the most expensive it seems. So I purchased this cotton poly blended fabric and it felt just great and the flow was lovely.</div>

I know the picture quality is bad but heres the pattern and fabric I decided to use. I really love Marian Martin patterns, I dunno just some of looks of them is just nice.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This pattern was really easy to work with not a whole lot of pieces to deal with and the fabric was great to work with. This dress would have took about a day to complete but since I had been so busy with school it took longer. Now let me introduce you to Claudia :).</div>

This post is a little different because its not a vintage dress but a vintage top that I made and it has a special childhood meaning for me.<br />
<br />
As a little girl my mom was a big fan of Star Trek and she still is today. I used to walk in her bedroom or the living room and see her watching a marathon of Star Trek, at first being a kid I couldn't really understand but now every so often I watch a few episodes with her.<br />
<br />
This is all came about when I went fabric shopping this weekend, my plans were to go to downtown LA but since I start spring semester I didn't want to blow all my money on fabric so I just decided to go to Joanns. In the past I would go for the cheaper fabric in Joanns however it wasn't translating well into my garments so I spent a little more money for better quality fabric which I don't mind at all.<br />
<br />
Looking at the rows and rows of fabric I couldn't really find anything that jumped out at me and then I saw it.<br />
<br />

This is the pattern I decided to use for my top. I got this pattern off of esty and it was actually pretty well priced given the fact that you can create so many outfits with this one pattern. I wanna say this is from the 50's but I'm not entirely sure.</div>

Making the top was actually pretty easy and only took about 3hrs and the fabric itself was very soft but not super thin which was great and it was my first time working with such a complex print so I wanted to make sure everything turned out just right.</div>

This is the finished product and I decided to name her Venus. :) Venus would be worn on a casual day out and about and for the person who wants to wear Star Trek with pride. Venus is snug and hugs nicely around curves. It was a joy creating Venus and I bet my mom is proud. :]</div>

I'm so excited also because I got my business cards today and it just feels so official, I'm just terribly excited.<br />
<br />
Alright so this weekend I created another vintage recreation with the last bit of fabric I had and this is the pattern I used. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I got this lovely pattern off of etsy and was super excited to bring it to life. Now I love vintage dresses but sometimes they can get a bit long for me especially since I'm only 5"4 and a college student who travels a lot so I don't wear heels. So when I got the pattern the skirt was down to my ankles so I shortened it a bit and I also shortened the sleeves just a tad since its starting to warm up.</div>

And now I am proud to introduce my latest creation Lucy. I used a light fabric I got from Joanns because when I saw this fabric I just had to have it because I love anything nautical. When I created Lucy the girl/woman I had in mind was the girl who is a beach going girl enjoying a sunny day, going shopping on the boardwalk and just being flirty and fun. Lucy is more of a outing dress nothing for work or anything too serious but she still has a sophisticated look to her. </div>

The buttons were a but of a challenge because I wasnt sure if I wanted white or red but in the end red just gave it a certain spark.</div>

This is me modeling Lucy and the pictures were taken by my good friend Anissa. So I paired Lucy with a simple black belt, navy blue stockings and red pumps and it turned out very nice. I just love how great Lucy turned out I'm just so proud I'm beaming especially now that I have my business cards as well. Hopefully by the end of this week I'll have more fabric and will be ordering more patterns to share with you guys and I might even share some of my old work.</div>

My weekend was filled with lots of tea and cold medicine but I did go out for a short time and spent time with my wonderful mother.<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
Saturday I went with my mom to the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles to volunteer and check it out. It was a gorgeous theater and my first time in a dressing room I wish I could share pictures but I don't think they were allowed during the tour but it was nice and I got to show off the dress I made, I named her Juniper. After we toured the theater my mother and I dropped by Road Runner to pick up her bib for the Allstate half marathon she was going to run Sunday.</div>

She's really been enjoying her runs and I'm just so proud of her and what she's accomplished. After we picked up her bib we had a late lunch at Cafe Mimi's. It was our first time dining there the atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. I had Sweet and Sour chicken and for dessert I had an Apple crumble toped with vanilla ice cream.</div>

Juniper was made with a soft flannel I purchased at Joanns, I at first was apprehensive because I imagine flannel not something you want to make a dress with but it was actually lovely to work with. It has a nice flow to it and is very soft and warm when worn.</div>

This is me modeling Juniper and the crinoline underneath gave it that nice fullness and bounce I wanted. I'm very proud of Juniper and hope you guys like her as much as I do. :] Have a great rest of the week everyone.</div>
