A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Greetings from sunny L.A.

August 27, 2012

We have logged some serious hours at Disneyland this past weekend, and though it was spectacularly fun, I am wiped out. Postings will be spotty this week…

I leave you with pix of the dress I completed just before catching the plane (the same pattern as the Ooh La La Dress). K liked it so much she wore it all the way to L.A.:

The word that incites terror in most newbie sewing The word that incites terror in most newbie sewing enthusiasts: zippers. Now that I have a few years of sewing under my belt I’m less cowed by them, but there’s something about long, separating zippers that still makes me nervous. I powered through, however, and made this versatile twill hooded jacket originating from a @patterncouture_ zip-up hoodie pattern meant for knit fabrics that I modified a lot. I blogged about it! Link in bio if you’d like to see the different versions I created. 

To skip zippers altogether and make a truly summery garment, swipe and check out my NEW @creativebug Tiered Dress class (link also in bio!). Back to sewing more hot weather stuff because I’m going to Japan for a special trip next week! 🇯🇵🇯🇵
