just finished this skirt made entirely of tshirts. also for the Fat Girl Speaks event. I think i have something like 16 or 17 items, i may just do a couple more and i can really relax now, i have been so prolific making them so fast, just churning them out. i will have some in all sizes, this skirt is actually around a 7x. i hope i can make many sizes of girls hap py!

I am going home! I have just learned that I will be moving back to Portland
in August or September! I am so excited I can barely stand it..I was also asked
to sell my clothing at Fat Girl SPeaks and I'm equally excited for that! I'm busy
sewing every day, every day, happily humming along and working. I can't believe
I am finally going home. Nothing makes me happier right now. Picture me doing a
lot of joyful sighing today xx

the newest-my little babydoll made of a VERY vintage silk sari! i used to go to the street fairs twice a year on the University of Oregon in Eugene, and buy wrap skirts made of saris. If they fit me, I'd wear them, if not-I'd sew with them. this is one of those. it has a black design which goes nicely with the black design on the orange cotton fabric. This would go great over a t shirt, long or short sleeve, and a pair of jeans. more soon!

this little top is made from three vintage kimonos, plus one Asian inspired fabric. the wonky ruffle adds a bit of fun! it's on sale at my etsy store, five or six girls.

i made this poppy pin tonight..i used a red lining fabric and melted the edges with a lighter. if you hold it just under the edge it will make it curl up. so when i put the layers together i reversed some of them, then added some black beads. i will put a felt backing and pin on as soon as i buy some felt. it's pretty, n'cest pas? xx

still wo nder if there is something i can do differently to this dress. got my needles and even made a skirt, i'm off and running with my vintage fabrics! have this dress up on etsy, even tho i still may change it again, like add some vintage trim on the sleeves where the sleeve meets the ruffle. or under the bust with a fabric flower that i am going to attempt to make..a red fabric poppy. sounds so pretty...it is! saw some made on flickr, with black beads in the middle of it, perfect! poppies being one of my favorite flowers, i have to do this. some people think less is more, i tend to think that MORE is more! have a great day xxx

daffodils in portland. i'm off to do two interviews..one with leslie hall of gem sweaters fame, and one with debora iyall of romeo void fame. i also get to see leslie perform, so i'm quite excited by all of it. the interviews are for my zine, issue two which is years late i might add. keep a watch for my finished dress and more as soon as i recieve new needles. i have an oldschool babylock and had to send away for them.
