Colette Patterns Hazel Dress- Fabric choices

Been thinking about my Hazel dress and what colors and fabric I should sew it in.

Fabric Slippers

 
Slippers! Slippers! Slippers!

Why don't I have these in my home? In case you couldn't tell I am a bit crazy about fabric slippers.
In all honesty I just love items that keep my feet toasty. So I am sharing the love... Go forth and make amazing toasty homes for your toes.

I think that it is gorgeous and what I love most about it is that it's simple.

Totes

Hiya

I seem to be having a tote moment. You see I made a tote and then my mom wanted a tote and now my cousin wants a tote... Well you understand the cycle.

So here are at least 2 of the 3 completed totes that I did a while back.

Mom's Tote

Pouches

Fabric Choice

I seem to be getting orders for pouches and purses lately and to be quite honest I am a bit awed by it. I am glad for the orders... but I am still in shock.

I mean someone wants to pay me to play with my fabric... I think I gave a maniacal giggle when she asked too.

Painting Laminate Furniture

Hiya

I found this amazing tutorial about painting laminate furniture. To be honest... I did not know that it could be done but I love the results of this bookshelf makeover see it here at Sas Interiors.

Pattern Muslin Success

Hiya

Pay no attention to the background mess... I'm still unpacking

So I am not too sure what my size is with these patterns. Depending on the company sometimes my size can range from 14 - 18. Therefore I make my muslin's for the simplest projects sometimes.

So I am back with Colette 1018 Jasmine Shirt Pattern. Today I tried to put on my collar and since I did not really measure the collar to make sure it was even I ended up with this.

Pattern Adjustments- Colette Patterns Jasmine Shirt

I love this shirt but ladies I feel like the tie makes you look like a freaking girl scout. I am going to attempt to make some adjustments to the pattern and change the look of the tie.
