Ariel Pink Dress Tutorial Part One

Image
Okay. So. I know there's been some issue with Ariels pink dress. A lot of very influential bloggers have stated they dislike it. Red hair, it is commonly known, does not make good bed partners with the color pink. Brichan, my very favorite artist has even made a most amusing picture -> http://briannacherrygarcia.deviantart.com/art/pink-makes-ariel-cry-52697915 Which, by the by is HILARIOUS.

This year im thinking... REGENCY Right? Right? Anyway, Here are the ingredients: Burda 2747 My sisters not too info the whole Princess Twirl-a-long that I am, I mean, Im almost thirty and ID dress like Disney at the drop of a hat. So, instead of the drama of forcing her to wear a dress, I offered another option. She could cross dress as a gentleman. I have the pattern, and the only other gentleman who will be in attendance is my son. ...

Spring/Summer Wardrobe, Shorts Plan

Image
                    I am attempting to combine my love of easy wear stuff, with my love of vintage. Also, I need to start dressing to make myself happy, not just grab whatever is clean and feel like blarg. In effort to complete this task, I am making shorts! There are two kinds of shorts that I am interested in. High waisted shorts.  -and Flared Shorts: Now, I do feel these are a bit, uh short. Ironically. Which is why I wont be buying from Unique Vintage for my short needs. Ill being sewing them.  (Note, I bought ALL my capris from Unique Vintage, I love them. Review to come) Ive got a couple patterns that Im looking at. The definite ones are Simplicity 3688, and Butterick 5895.   Other ideas are as follows::  As for fabrics, this will be a stashbuster.
