Esme and the lane way Today I am feeling a little different... I felt like doing something I never do... my hair is straight, my lips are pale and my dress is a child's, and 1960s style. I have also answered some questions passed along to me by both q's daydream and ruby roulette unravels (thank you), something I rarely do. I enjoyed reading their answers, though, and thought that while I am having such a not-the-norm day, it might be fun.1.Where is your phone? 11.Your fear? 18.Last thing you did? .26.Vehicle? 30.When was the last time you laughed? Now I should pass this on... and I'd like to ask tender turning quiet, spokes and daggers, ballarat vintage style, do you like my microwave, hello mr fox... and anyone who wants to – no, really! dress ebayshoes mollini.com.au, on sale music bridezilla beaches
personal style, sewing, fashion and fabric — insatiable need I don’t mind telling you I failed spectacularly at keeping my 2013 resolutions, especially the ones about healthy eating. Oops! But I shall persevere for 2014 nevertheless. Thus, I have vowed to commit to brown bag lunches on the days I teach at the studio. As with all things in my life, my new resolutions have somehow all managed to relate back to sewing. I made this little fabric utensil roll so when I make my salad-in-a-jar (I saw it on Pinterest!) It’s pretty, eco-friendly, and ridiculously easy and fast to make. step one: gather materials I used a lightweight denim for the self (the outside), a bright magenta cotton for the lining, and a pretty floral print for the pocket. For the self and lining, cut two rectangles 9.75″ x 14.75″ For the pocket, cut one rectangle 9.75″ x 13.75″ For the strap, cut one strip of fabric 22″ x 3″ I also used lightweight, woven fusible interfacing (Pellon SF 101) on the back of each piece except for the strap. step four: sew it all together! Press carefully.
