Sewing Inspiration

I get a lot of my sewing inspiration from not so much the fashion scene, but I do enjoy watching what others wear.  I feel today's fashion is all about how you feel, and I am really feeling this outfit here.  I just love the comfy simpleness of it and the way if flows.  We don't get much of a winter here in Central Florida, so I can see me in this on a nice breezy afternoon, with maybe a little wrap if I get cool.

Simplicity A2120 - DONE, No Excitement at all

I finished Simplicity A2120, its an IT'S SO EASY pattern, that would take a seasoned sewer probably, 10 min from cut to hem.  And actually it didn't take me an hour, I just decided to start the process at 10 p.m., and after cutting out and stay stitching decided to wait until the next day to finish up, which took me all about 30 min from start to hem. 
 
My photography is not the best, but I am working on it.  
I am pleased with it overall, its really simple.  Nothing spectacular at all.  I am on this Mustard/Rust color rant right now.  I love fall and brown, beige, mustard, maroon and reds are swirling in my head. 
As I mentioned before I suffer from Blackness (not because I a Black) but because when I look in my closet that is all I see.

I literally own 6 pair of dress black pants.  Yes, six pair.  Who needs six pair.  And I promise you they are all different.  Now I do own 3 additional pair of black paints with stripes, gray and white.  So that is a total of NINE (9), yes 9 pair of black pants. 

I won't bore you with the number of black shorts, tops and shoes.

Weekend Over, And I Have Accomplished Nothing!

Well I did hit the Joanns sale.  I got to take advantage of the Simplicity .99 cent pattern sale.  I feel extremely lucky.  I got 10 patterns I wanted and some new fabric Yummy.  So I guess I did get something accomplished.  No sewing done though. 




Hopefully I can get some sewing done this week, I have so many options.

Dressed Down Friday

A Quick Top

It was pretty ugly today and rainy in Orlando, so after cooking dinner I thought why not sew up something quick.  Just something quick to throw on when Hubby and I go out for  dinner or to the movies.  Something sexy but that I could wear with Jeans or some lightweight linen wide leg pants.  Wow, say that twice.  LOL






Its not finished and or hemmed.  I'm going to play with a little more, maybe add a little fabric in the seams to loosen it up.  What do you think?

I'm Feeling Those Pants


Boy am I feeling these pants.  I'm thinking I need to have them.  The colors are beautiful too.  Green is such a pretty color and falls in line with my Fall color pallet.
