Tuesday Project Roundup: Camouflage!

This is what happens when you like pink and orange furnishings and clothing indiscriminately--you blend right in!

Here it is, un-camouflaged:


I used the basic shift pattern from the out-of-print Built By Wendy Dresses book and even made a muslin to test it out first--because it would be a shame to waste any of that enormous paisley fabric. (The fabric is from the stack I bought right before I closed).

This is the first of what I classify as "spring" sewing,* and it was all sewn up in my new craft room, and boy is it nice to have a space where I can just leave projects out. No more living in 500 square feet for me!

*I AM IGNORING YOU, FOOT OF SNOW OUTSIDE! I DON'T SEE YOU!!

Karen, where are you? I cannot see you among all the fabulous pinks and oranges.

That dress is as beautiful on you as it was hanging on the closet door! The craftsmanship is amazing!

You know it's a blind-hemmed rodeo with me!
