under the influence


I made this dress when i was under the influence of warmer weather.
I'm not quite ready to let winter go, but a couple days of sunny, warm air had me frolicking about 
in bright colors
A few days later (in typical Kansas fashion) the temperature dropped 30 degrees in an hour and it was snowing again.

I did what i do best; got the pattern for one dollar and the fabric on sale.

Daisy likes to sleep while i sew.










I dearly love winter, but

of the green, green grass of spring!'

That is such a lovely dress! You look beautiful - well done!

Wow you made that?! It looks amazing! I've always wanted to sew a dress but I'm rather intimidated. I love your photos so much. The two you took of yourself remind me of vintage photographs you might find while rummaging through a hatbox of memories at your grandmother's house. :)

Excellent fabric choice for this timelessly pretty dress. I think that avocado-esque shades like this get far too little play in the fashion world these days. One say them more in the 20s-60s, but rarely so in women's clothing (especially) nowadays (be it modern styles or vintage ones). Wonderful job on this creation, honey, it looks gorgeous on you.

My goodness are we twins?!? Here is a brief list of the things that we have in common: I am a teenager, a vintage lover (in the extreme. especially the 40s), I have three dogs that look exactly like your dog, I am an aspiring mandolinist and bluegrass lover, and most importantly, a born-again Christian. I will definitely follow this blog, and thank you so much for creating it! :)
