Workbasket Wednesday: Coffee Tea or Me?


Sorry for the long sign off... I switched to Postum and I haven't been able to get out of bed for a week.
I kid, of course. They will be prying my coffee cup from my cold dead hands.

I actually have been sewing like a veritable fiend. I am almost done with a dress for myself and I finished a little dress for a sweet little Muse from New York, both out of fantastic vintage fabrics.
I just love working with vintage fabrics! I used new patterns in classic shapes from the new Burda Magazine I picked up last Monday, so the dresses still look "vintage-y". I liked using the magazine patterns. It was my first time with a Burda Magazine and I have to say.. It was Well Worth The Money. In fact the stuff in the new issue is looking so yummy, I may have to subscribe or something. It won't keep me from sewing true New Vintage... but it might help me work through this stash!

It's finally sunny today so I hope to get a couple of quick snapshots to share.

Oh and I have a Thrift Thursday Tutorial tomorrow. Wooo Hooo.

And I have made a cute little crop of mushroom babies.

Busy, busy, busy.
Thank You, Caffeine. You poor maligned darling.
You are my best friend.

  3. I thought that read 'possum' at first. Can't wait to see the results of the fiendish sewing. And to continue the vein of coffee - I like it, but only occasionally. Weird, I know.
