ticker tape parade no. 11

from Vixen Vintage

What a weird past few days these have been. Along with Blogger being on the fritz I was convinced all of Friday (the day that I've been doing the ticker tape parade posts) that it was Saturday and that I'd missed doing the post and thinking I might wait until next week. Then all of Saturday I was convinced that it was Friday and that I'd do it later. Really, I don't know how or why.

Most of what I've been entranced by on the internet this week is pretty clothes, I'm not going to lie. And not even really sewing related, just clothes. This is probably because I've been sewing more lately (I finally got my desk set up even though we're moving at the end of the month). So I'll start out with this gorgeous outfit from Vixen Vintage. I love how all the colors match. Those socks, that sweater, that skirt? I melted when I saw this. I wish I was exaggerating.

I also loved Gertie's instant gratification eyelet dress. To the point where I might want to try one for myself this summer.

Now on to the more sewing related eye candy: part two of the 30's style collar pattern drafting tutorial is up on Casey's Elegant Musings. (Want part one?)

I've been working on an elastic waist band skirt sewing project with a friend of mine lately and now I'm hooked. I've also been lamenting not having a jeans equivalent skirt. Enter this chambray shirt to skirt tutorial via Grossgrain.

I also started following Elise Blaha::enJOY it and Dixie DIY.
