Dyeing escapades of underwear, socks, and shirts…but don't tell anyone.

Hello lovely people.
I hope your week is planned and going well.


As I touched on in my last post, I have been cleaning my place. Dusting, reorganizing, and just putting stuff in order. I FINALLY got my sewing area all put away, sorted fabric, patterns, books and notions. I feel quite accomplished in that respect.

I also looked through a lot of my clothes, mostly my causal stuff. You know how it is, you suddenly realize that white shirt is stone gray, threadbare, has holes…socks, too. Yeah, I was at that stage.

Let's talk more about Foundation Garments: Slips for every occasion

Help lovely people.
Let's delve deeper into foundation garments, shall we.
I'm going to back track a bit, and talk about what I did near the start of the previous post. I commented that I consider all things that go beneath the fashion layer to be foundation garments, and I do. Whether you are going for a 20s look, or a 40's statement, having all the right pieces that help the outer layer drape the way you want are crucial to the look.

Catalog Sunday: Loungewear Edition

Didn't post a CS last Sunday so I have a huge one this Sunday from my mid 1930s Chicago Mail orders. Getting ready to lounge!

November Pattern Showcase


My sad little Christmas tree. It needs some work.
Good morning you lovely people. I know I didn't do a showcase last month. Frankly I didn't get much in the way of patterns, or anything at all on October. But November was a plentiful harvest for sure, wink, wink.

Catalog Sunday

Wow, I prepped to make this post two hours ago and here I am finally getting to it! That's what happens when you are cleaning up after a party (more on that tomorrow). This Sunday I have great fashions from Lane Bryant. 
Enjoy!!
