Wardrobe Wednesday

When the internet gets me down and my blogging is in a funk, I go old school and make something with my hands...in three dimensions.

Yesterday, I made two skirts for myself and this:


The fabric came from a thrifted skirt that I desperately wanted to wear myself. Alas, it was never to be. I briefly considered liposuction and rib removal, before settling on remaking the skirt into a dress for Vi. I think I made the right decision.

  1. Very cute especially if the weather finally gets warmer!

    What is the recovery time on such a procedure? Would probably keep you away from sewing AND blogging for a while, so yeah I too think you made the right choice.

    I've been in sort of a blogging funk too. Thank goodness I've been taking lots of photos and wanting to share them, Otherwise I would have nothing to blog about!

  3. I have sew envy! I wish we were neighbors and I could just stop over and have you give me a lesson on sewing, photography, whatever.

    I love it - the dress AND the photo!

  7. I may just be the slowest sewer in the world, but the idea of making one skirt in a day, much less two and a dress? Wow, you impress me.

  8. Dude, I'm not sure whether to feel inspired or depressed, considering that I'm somewhat stuck in a rut, and can't seem to find a why out of my hole of self-pity.

    You are one very talented lady. Damn it, I knew I'd lean toward depression. Where is the Nutella jar?
