Lace and Silk
I found this photo on “Fashioned”. A blog that posts pictures of designer’s lines. I love this particular outfit because it combines lace and silk. I think the skirt is silk. If not, I still like it. I’d like to make something very similar for a wedding I’ll be attending in the summer.
If I find a pattern for this top, I will be wearing a camisole of some short. I wouldn’t want the girls to make an appearance. These models are so bloody skinny and tall that I could never get away with that. I’m 5′4″ and weight 130 lbs. I’m not fat but I’m not a stick either.
On Patternreview.com there is a thread where members discuss Project Runway #3. I unfortunately cannot participate in the discussion because Lifenetwork is only on the fourth episode. I recently read someone say, “I wonder if Tim Gunn would go to Wal-mart”. No, I don’t think so. I once heard a gay friend say, “I don’t go to any store with the work “mart” in it. I highly doubt Tim Gunn would go near a Wal-mart. I can hardly stand that store never mind him. I thought that was funny.
So quiet this afternoon and I’m getting a lot of sewing done. My dh took the kids to the waterpark. I hate going there. Way too busy and I absolutely hate busy crowds. I’m a hermit.
I made a ballet skirt out of chiffon with sparkles on it. I finished hemming my dd’s velour pants. I am soooo glad I sew. I just wish sewing was as popular as scrapbooking is. If it was, there would much more local suppliers. Non-sewers just don’t know what they are missing.
This is a lovely outfit. Great Choice.
I too wish sewing were as popular as scrapbooking. I rue the demise of so many fabric stores and fabric departments in major stores. I don’t understand scrapbooking. It often appears that the “scrapbooking” is more important than the photos.
