Shoes, glorious shoes

I love this shade of pink...

Lavender+polka dots+peep toes+bows= so cute

This week I have been rummaging through summer closeout shoes and have thus far hauled home a dozen pairs. Some of these are for altering (glittering, adding ribbon, painting, beading, adding flowers etc.) and will probably make further appearances on my blog...

Cinema Beret

A pattern I drafted and sewed up last night. I tried to get it onto an Adobe doc. to load onto burdastyle without any success, oh well. Instructions for making a beret can be found on www.fmfcorp.com/familyspot/haircover.html and vintagesewing.info.

Black velvet dress

A dress I made from 2 skirts and a poorly fitting jacket. The bodice is my own pattern. The skirt is just gathered and attached.
