A Few Things for Fall

Made a while back this Spring. Used the first pattern I ever used & extended it into a dress. It didn't go so well at first, but with a lot of futzing & help from D, it turned out alright! It's so easy to wear, so comfy, and SO 80's!

Piped neckline & sleeves along with Fabulous new necklaces! The beaded one from the Brooklyn Flea the morn this photo was taken & the heart locket from our good friends, Bob & Judi.
This pattern is my new standby, Burda #7866. This is the 3rd &, I think, the best of the bunch!! (just finished a few days ago.) I added gathers in the back at waist, longer sleeves &.....
a keyhole shoulder-detail! So much you can do with one pattern!

Summer Top

Some pics of a little summer top. Fabric from Superbuzzy, pattern from the Pochee Spring 2010 edition (Somewhere there's a pic of the pattern page from this puppy! Like spaghetti finding the correct pieces. A lovely challenge!)
