pale blue birds

dress - burda magazine 03/2011, # 108

one of my favorite dress patterns ever

thought i'll give it another go,

but, once finished, it kind of looked ridiculous on me

(from some reason i really don't enjoy wearing this silhouette anymore)

..

it looks way better on tea

even if it's a size too big for her

..

fabric is from remnant bin

it was not supposed to look like this

should instead be black with white/yellow birds

but somehow few meters ended up

being this beautiful pale blue color instead..

goes way better with turquoise sea

than the fabric without 'mistake', right?

dress - burda 10/2014, #127

finally found the right backdrop for this dress,

that was actually cut last year

and sewed back in february

and worn only once

..

looks like a nice dress, right?

you would never know the horrors i have to go trough

in order to get into it..

i was in a rush when sewing it

so to speed things up a bit, skipped adding zipper or any type of closure..

turns out that my head is kind of too big for the neckline

(should have anticipated that, my head is kind of too big for lot of stuff

which is why i have to buy my hats on boys department)

and i'm kind of too lazy to fix it 

(plus, i've made the most beautiful stitching on that neckline

i can't bring myself to rip it apart)..

but i guess i'll eventually have to fix it

as i really really love this dress

and it deserves to be worn more often

..

pics are taken by my lovely friend tea..

few weeks ago we unexpectedly ended up spending 

few fun and crazy days in croatia

on beautiful island of brac

(might write a post about that adventure, eventually)

..

..

i've even managed to find a pic of us together

so you don't think i'm making this all up..

plus, this pic shows that i indeed do smile

(i just happen to be born with resting bitch face)

black wrap pants

pants - burda 11/2011, #105

top - hemlock tee

so, i finally managed to sew burda's wrap pants that fit me

..

for this pair i chose slightly stretchy fabric

of unknown composition

(i wish stores here can tell you a bit more

about the fabrics they sell.. 

well, not the kind of stores i go to, apparently)

it's super soft and drapey

making these the most comfy pair of pants i ever made

..

i loved sewing with mystery fabric

so went back to the fabric store, to get more of it

but it was all gone by the time i got there

..

not much to say about hemlock tee

other than i love it

and will make a dozen more
