May 1: Highly modified Simplicity 1717 skirt made out of novelty Valentines Day cotton fabric.
May 2: Simplicity 1692– I was obviously very inspired by the pattern art! This blouse is actually not well made and the fabric is not aging well so this pattern is in the make-again pile.
May 3, 2016: This blouse is based on the keyhole variation of Gertie’s Portrait Blouse. There are rows of gathering stitches at both shoulders that shape it and a button back.
May 4, 2016: simple circle skirt in 100% cotton. Easy, peasy, plus a cute dachshund…which makes everything better!
May 5, 2016: B5920 half shirtdress in polka dotted rayon. Worn with a vintage Lisner brooch and b.a.i.t. Irella pumps
May 7, 2016: Boom…ssssss….”ahhhhh.” Firework dress! Made from the boatneck bodice and side pleated skirt from Gertie’s Ultimate Dress Book.
