I'm a little bit ashamed that I have only one garment to show for the last couple of days of KCW. I'm doubly ashamed that it is an astonishingly simple tunic to make and should not have taken me so long. Have you seen Jessica's prolific-ness? I had similar aspirations and didn't even come close. Simply amazing! And all the clothes are fabulous! But I toiled and it got done! And I think -- if I may be so bold -- this is very much my signature 'look'. The loose, tunic-y style, the polka ...

Monday Outfit: KCW Spring – Days 4 & 5
Good morning, friends! Did you have a nice weekend? I hope so!

I should mention that I completed the ... Read more

I discovered that Cate makes beautiful clothes and posts them here and I especially love her ... Read more

Finally! I have something to show you that I created during KCW week. I'm calling it the "Popsicle Outfit". Don't those stripes make you think of juicy, fruity, refreshing goodness?

For those of you with an eagle eye, you'll see that K has no front teeth. She looks like she needs to be fitted for dentures...two ... Read more
Bits and Bobs
There is a lot of pattern cutting and sewing going on, but my partner in crime aka 'the model' has been a busy bee, which means very little photo ops. I should have something to share tomorrow though! In the meantime, I thought my fabric swatches looked pretty. These are the fabrics I've used/am planning on using for KCW, but things may change. I like to stay open to surprises. And hey, as long as I'm showing you bits and bobs, here is part of my collection of scissors (I own many, ... Read more
