Day Project: Shoe Hack
Hello lovely people.
Got a quick post today as I work on my continuing foundation garment post.
I purchased these shoes from Old Pueblo Traders where they were on clearance of $20. Now, shoes from OPT can either be great, or crappy. These were in the middle. Because of the price, it wasn't worth it to return them, something I often find with shoes from there. I could write a whole screed about my experiences from there but I keep going back because they have a grand variety of old lady shoes which are a good substitute for vintage styles.
Sewing Side Work
Hello all.
I'd like to thank you all for all the support over these past days.
It's been much appreciated.
Still no luck on the job front and I'm trying to stay positive, but stress is stress.
In the mean time, I'm cobbling together some of my odd jobs and seeing how far I can go.
One of which is my gig of doing alterations/mending of vintage for Playclothes.
If you have never been to Playclothes, you should. It's one of the best vintage clothing stores in California.
Flea Market Find: I bought luggage!

Simplicity 3701 progress
Hello lovely people.
Things have been all over the place for me this past month. I've been hanging out with a new friend and getting to know her and drinking lots of mimosas (long story), I've been doing a lot more drawing and finishing up Vintageville stuff (I added a new completed drawing to my FB page), I've been writing a lot, doing some freelance, and generally detaching.
