My Projects: Fruity Peasant Blouse

Peasant blouse Number Two of the Summer is finished!  The first one I made was in a lightweight black swiss dot. This time, I used an Anna Sui remnant (fabric shopping in NYC is the best!) raw silk with the cutest floral and fruity print! I really love this print. 

The pattern is vintage 1950's Butterick 9768.

Here it is laid out on my chenille bedspread. 

I wore it last Saturday to work with my Trashy Diva red pencil skirt and a vintage purse. Sorry, wish I got a better shot of my lovely black woven raffia vintage purse. Next time. 

Detail shot. My glass leaves necklace and earrings were a gift from my husband. He also suggested I wear them with this outfit! He's got good taste!

Now on to the third! Stay tuned for the final installment of my Summer peasant blouse sewing series! 

My View: June Instagram Highlights

Ahhh June!! Summer has made it's arrival and I couldn't be happier! Here are some highlights from my Instagram from last month. To see my vacation pics from Memphis, go here.  Should you want to keep instagram, ya know instant, follow me @BobbinBombshell.

Sewing projects are in order this Summer! I am committed to making more of my own clothes. Here is some patterns and newly purchased fabric for summer sewing goodness! 

The yarn arrived from Craftsy for the Mystery Knit Along! It's no longer a mystery. The pattern is now available. We are making a lacy shawl! My first one! 

Discovered this van completely yarn bombed! Wow! 

Spent the first day of Summer at the High Line afterwork to watch the sun set with my sweetie! 

Happy Summer! 

My Projects: Lana Turner Dress and Fat Bottom Bag Update

Here's an update on a couple of projects that I have been slowly working on:

You may remember me hoping to join the That's Sew Cinematic Sew Along with Lana Turner, from The Postman Always Ring Twice, as my inspiration. Well I may be past the deadline but I'm going to make it! I recently purchased some delightful white cotton sateen and found this lovely vintage wrap dress pattern in my stash. I'm ready to get started! 

I'm nearly done with my crochet Fat Bottom Bag. I have wooden handles and some lovely grosgrain for a bow. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out! 

Stay tuned for finished project photos! Sooner or later these projects will be done.
