When life gives you lemons, make hacked credit card art… – Lucky Lucille
http://luckylucille.com/2015/05/when-life-gives-you-lemons-make-hacked-credit-card-art
When life gives you lemons, make hacked credit card art…. I have another sewing project to share soon, but since I left off on the topic of fabric/surface design I thought now would be a good time to squeeze in another design project and a bit of a book review. The wonderful people at Quarto Publishing. Sent me a copy of Playing with Surface Design. As I mentioned in my last post. Print (shown above), I knew I wanted to try and recreate my own version of it. The credit card painting technique, as feature...

Three Things v.4. Just a quick, fun post today since June has been a crazy month so far. …both good and bad things happening (such is life) that I’m trying to balance and it’s been rough if I’m being honest.

Spring For Cotton – a group sewing challenge. Today, I am excited. If you participated in the 2013 Fall For Cotton. Sewing challenge, then you might like what I have in store for you now – A new group sew-along! What is Spring For Cotton? It’s a self guided, non-competitive, vintage inspired sewing challenge. Choose a decade (1920s – 70s) and sew a garment inspired by that era. The challenge is, you can ONLY use 100% cotton! Well, I like cotton fabric and old things. Made sense to me 😉. What can I sew?

http://luckylucille.com/2015/07/sneak-peeks-repeats-and-favorite-mistakes
Sneak Peeks, Repeats, and Favorite Mistakes. Just a quick post today (because it’s way too hot to have a hot laptop on my lap) so I can share a little peek of what I’ve been working on. Well, one of the many things I’ve been working on. It’s an outfit that came to be by way of chance. …or fate (thank you, Celestial Fabric Wizards of Old) and I have to say, I’m. Excited with how it’s coming together. That I realized it now had the perfect coordinate for an outfit. And Tiny Pocket Tank. 8221; people do.

Fabricado Em Portugal | Charity Shop Chic
https://charityshopchic.net/2014/07/22/fabricado-em-portugal
Just a quick one today folks. I purchased this gloriously colourful skirt on my trip to Lisbon. A few months back, at the famous flea market called ‘ Feira da Ladra. Unlike my last international debacle. I was delighted to see that this one was ‘FABRICADO EM PORTUGAL’ (‘Made in Portugal’). Anyway, my favourite feature of it is the button – because it looks like a boiled sweet. So that definitely had to stay. I actually wore this out once before I realised it still had problems. Perhaps my stride is l...

http://www.lovestreetsalvage.com/fugly-floral-dress-rehashed
Before and After Pics. Girls Night Out Refashion Sewing Workshops. Fugly Floral Dress: REHASHED. January 27, 2015. When I found this dress in a thrift store awhile back, I immediately loved that floral print! It looked like a lovely vintage wallpaper and I was determined to save it! I loved the ruffles too, in fact I debated whether or not I should rehash this one at all, or just leave it alone. It wasn’t until I actually tried it on that the decision became easy, it looked horrible! Here is a close up.

More Me Made Knits. Hey it’s May already (can you believe it? And you know what that means – Me Made May. This is the first year I’m actually participating which is very exciting for me! As of the first of the month I’ve been keeping a MMM diary and writing down what I’m wearing each day along with a few thoughts about each outfit.
