While at the bookstore, I picked up The Little Black Book of Style by Nina Garcia. Although Nina is like the Simon Cowell of Project Runway (toughest judge but still my favorite), I didn’t really think I needed fashion advice from Project Runway, because those designs aren’t for real women. But, after flipping [...]

Addicted to Quilting Arts Magazine: Stitch
Posted in Read, Style, fashion, sewing on November 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
While browsing flickr a few weeks ago, I saw these pictures from i heart linen (a very lovely blog). I did some googling to find more information about the magazine, and ordered it.
My stitch arrived yesterday, and I am so happy, I loved it from start to finish. I guess most magazines [...]
Chic Head

I saw this beautiful headband (thanks Stacy) from Allison Kelly, and knew I had to make one. I love the feathers, although I’m not sure when I’d have the occasion to wear them… I wear T-shirts, running shorts, and flip-flops every single day because after a year in Puerto Rico, when every day [...]
Jeans to Wrap Skirt
Posted in Project, Read, Style, fashion on October 3, 2008 | 2 Comments »
My husband gave me some of his old jeans, so I finally got to try out a design from 99 Ways to Cut, Sew & Deck Out Your Denim.
I’m really happy with the finished product. I doubled the width of the top fabric strip from the pattern, because the photo looked wider than a [...]

I decided that I needed a dress form to help me fit my projects better. Luckily
Joann’s had a sale on the Drtiz Twin Fit Petite Dressform.
Obviously the quality isn’t quite like the ones they use on Project Runway, but this way I can use the same dress form even if I lose or gain [...]

Probably won’t be posting too much lately since I’m frantically:
1. Getting rid of extra junk and prepping for yard sale
2. Painting the entire upstairs
3. Hiring roofer and carpeter
4. Putting house on market
5. Studying for final exams
6. Getting ready to move and start a new job.
I won’t have [...]

Grace Kelly was in some of my favorite movies (the Alfred Hitchcock ones and High Society) and she always looked gorgeous.
Japanese Fabric Flowers – Part II
Posted in Create, Project, Read, Style on March 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Because my inspiration to try making kanzashi was based on the “Turning Japanese” article in Adorn Magazine, I decided to enter their contest to make a project from the magazine.
Here’s my entry:
I made the tiny puff flower hair pin based on a photo in the Adorn magazine, I think next time I will use a [...]
Japanese Fabric Flowers
Posted in Create, Project, Style on March 9, 2007 | 1 Comment »
My latest craft obsession is japanese kanzashi style fabric flowers. Here are the first 2 I made. I think I’d like to try making some with silk, to make them look a little less starched than the cotton. I love these flowers because they are so versatile, you could pin them anywhere (your hair, purses, [...]
