Good afternoon everybody….I’m sitting here watching re-runs of Sex and the City and thinking of new stuff to sew up….Every time I think of my next outfit this maxi dress with extreme side splits and booty shorts keeps popping up….now when I go in my sewing room and get going I’m almost certain that I still wont make that….LOL…Sewing is funny like that….I finally got a paid gig and I start next Monday….I’m not all that excited about it but I’m not all that irritated either….I knew after the Blood Moon I would crash and/or burn and the crash seems to have set in sometime yesterday….I went and celebrated another misguided holiday with my loved ones, enjoyed myself, and got home early….I just felt the crash setting in….A REAL MOON CHILD FORREAL…..but I did watch Mad Men last night and loved it of course…I probably stopped following the story line a long time ago because of the fashion…I still know whats going on though and Peggy irritated me last night….she’s still a sweetheart though hahaha!….
Now this post is about basically a wearable muslin I whipped up a while ago and I just love its country style….its Mad Men-ish because of the neckline and print IMO….I love it a lot and its totally comfortable…I blogged about the dress a while ago but I didn’t give it much attention….I believe Blogger was acting up so I may have put the photos on FB, I cant remember…….this fabric was thrifted on one of my many trips to the thrift store and I was quite surprised that it was a big enough piece to actually make a dress…I thought “muslin fabric” when I grabbed the bags of fabric that day….its always cool to make something right the first time around and the fabric isn’t too hideous to wear…..I have a load of laundry going, my sewing room needs tidying, and my mind’s eye needs to be rested…I’ll talk to you good folks soon!..Oh and the first set of photos (the ones of my with no shoes are when I first finished it last year sometime) are going to be included too…the ones with my lovely wedges I’m showing too; I went to Target and Sprout…I needed some more Fage…..;)

P.S. I would like to partipate in this years Me Made May and I believe I will….now who’s going to take all my flicks?….check out my photos now….and did I say how much I LOVE MAD MEN?….well, I do…almost as much as sewing….(insert hearts and smiles here)

I wanted to leave the zipper exposed because I just think its sooooo cool…its a vintage, metal-toothed zipper from J & P Coats!…..besides the collar, that zipper is thee best feature of this dress…for something that was meant to be a muslin, its pretty damned cool….;)
