Cape-love

This is the latest pattern over at Burdastyle.com
I rather like it. I wouldn't mind if it had a hood though...

The material they used is very nice: maroon herringbone wool. I wonder if you could extend that collar up into a hood... Hmm

Anne Adams

a few more pics of my favorite pattern designer...

Check out the cool collar

I love the scallop detail, I need to try that sometime

Don't you love the matching bolero?

This looks like an awesome shirtdress

Oliver+S

My infatuation with this company began when I saw a sample of one of their garments at a local quilt shop. I thought it was one of the coolest garments I had seen in a long time
(and lamented that it wasn't in adult sizes too).
Last night I was puttering around on the computer, reading blogs, when I noticed some of the clothes that they had been sewing up, and that they were Oliver+S patterns. So, I took a detour to the companies website (http://www.oliverands.com) and then to their blog (http://www.oliverands.com/blog)
Bad Idea!!
I was on the computer soo late last night (am hours, not pm) drooling over these designs. I think that I'm easily seduced by pretty colors and patterns.
Lovely garments for a very cute little girl. I love the way they incorporate special details into the designs. It may not be something loud, but it contributes to the overall (boutique-ish) appearance of the garments.

I loved these, they are awesome. I love the pockets, the collar and the tie.

I'm a fiend for shirtdresses anyway, and these just take the cake.

More cuteness.

I swear, if she ever designs adult size clothes patterns, I will be in line to get some.

She has some tutorials/freebies on her site. One thing that I picked up on was this really cool hem. Sometimes it is fabric, sometimes ribbon. Anyway, I am going to try it sometime. I love this skirt/the way the pattern/fabric paired up.

I love the choice of fabrics.

This was the outfit that sent me over to look around the Oliver+S website.

I love these dresses! I think that I need to make them. :)

Just lovely!

I've found that I love Anne Adams patterns. I need to make something with the one that I bought.

Vintage dress pattern+love+Ebay

This is the other "treat" I got today. A vintage dress pattern (a project to try out on my new machine). I really like this particular designer. Very smart designs. My hair looks like the models too. :D

Fatina

This is the new pattern on Burdastyle this week.
Finally, something I really love.
I'm definitely going to get this pattern.
I can see this dress with all kinds of variations and fabrics.

I have never put an invisible zipper into a garment, however it's never too soon to learn.

I like the fabric that they used for this sample dress.

Amy Butler's Madison Bags

I love this handbag pattern('s actually), I have since I first saw it in the quilt shop in Elk Horn.
So, today I finally bought one a la Ebay. Dangerous website. :)

Vintage Vogue 2401

Drool. I hesitated to purchase yet another pattern after my little weekend spree. However, I just loved this pattern. It's another vintage vogue pattern for a wrap dress, I can't wait to be able to make one.
