Fabulous Vintage

It's O.K., just take a couple minutes to drool...
This gorgeous coat is coming to live at my house :):):)
I'm so excited :):) It comes from: http://www.CassiesAttic.etsy.com
She's the best to work with/talk to, she's already shipped it, practically right after I got it. Wow.

Allen Co. Vintage

These are tasty things from Allen Co. Vintage on Etsy
I adore this coat! I love this style. I want to sew now.
Another lovely coat...
I love these types of dresses, and the rose pattern is so pretty
Elegant



I have some material like this, and some buttons like these, maybe I should make a coat this week...

Pretty

Here are pics of a bunch of things that I've been drooling over on etsy...
I love the lines. And the little black bows.


I love the pattern, I'm crazy for trench coats anyway

Cute. Very cute. I like the hood.
Drool! If this one wasn't between 3 and 4 hundred dollars--I think that I'd be all over this coat.
It's fabulous-good enough to eat.

I'm having a violent urge to sew bows all over my clothing...

I love the lining of this fabric


I'm in great need of totes...I need to sew some. I bought a bunch of canvas last December, and haven't used anyy of it. It would be excellent for this type of bag.

Vixen Vintage

I stumbled on this blog a while back and now I'll post a link:
http://vixenvintage.blogspot.com
She has such a great sense of style, and skill in wearing vintage clothing (as a norm).

I love this dress. It's so pretty. She's inspired me to wear more vintage clothes. :)

Beautious Coat

I adore this coat.
It's perfectly lovely and ladylike.
And it looks like a cappuccino.
So tasty.
It has been unusually cold this fall.
This past Saturday we had our first snow and it seems to be pelting freezing cold rain right now.
I've been envying other bloggers around the U.S. talking about their hot weather.
I'm such a wimp when it comes to coldness.
Although, a little bit is acceptable, because then I can wear big warm hats and pretty coats like this one.
I didn't snag this particular gem (waaaaahhh). I think by the time I spotted it someone else had dibs.
Yum, yum.

Maybe I can clone it...

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

More creations a la Louise Hedley...

I have recently acquired a stack of lovely floral vintage bedsheets, and have been trying to decide on the perfect projects to make with them. SO, I took a little detour over to the Sohomode site to have a good browse.
I have this sheet. I guess I didn't realize it was vintage. I've been using it as a sheet. I saw this one in the sold items section of the shop and clicked on it (thinking that it was very cute), and behold, a sheet I recognize. Looking at this dress leads me to believe that I need to launder this sheet and re-envision its life as a dress.
I love these vintage fabrics.
Her designs make me happy. They also make me have a ferocious itch to sew something.
Like a candy shop...
Drool, drool, drool.

Cool coat. I need to try making one of these sometime.
I love these too. :) I'm currently clicking out this post in my black pajamas.
I think I need to make some of these too. :D
This dress and the following dress: I have a sheet that is very similar to these.
I'm wondering how she can squeeze a lovely full skirted dress of a sheet...
I wonder how many yards of fabric are typically contained in one sheet...
Answers to be found this afternoon...
