My back hurts. No, that's not really an accomplishment.
But this is:
How could I not fall madly in love with this fleur de lis cardi? Obviously, I did but I soon noticed there were button issues. I think (more than anything else) age and use contributed to this gem ending up at Goodwill. Note the tiny buttons I removed. The buttonholes were too stretched for those little ones so I ordered some new magnificent fleur de lis buttons and voilĂ ! Perfection!
I also made a top today with my favorite fabric, knit.
Apparently, when I try to take one handed photos anymore, it's too blurry. :/ But at least you can see the sleeve detail.

Welcome to my sewing blog! I've been sewing since 2007. I really enjoy making costumes. (Too bad Halloween is only once a year!) I'll sew just about anything really, and you can see my designs modeled exclusively on me.

Skirt...
So I made this skirt:
Here's the overlay fabric:
Here's what it was supposed to look like:
Oops. I'm sure I can fix it. I don't really like how it turned out anyway so I think a redo would be better.
Thoughts?
