Last night I enjoyed one of the best birthday dinners in recent memory, surrounded by three of my very favorite people, and everyone at the table was wearing something I made. That means two of those garments were MAN SHIRTS.
I KNOW!!!
I have no evidence of this, because not a single one of us brought any kind of device to dinner. WHICH IS EXACTLY HOW WE LIKES IT. During the meal, mommaballoona mentioned a few cool spots they saw on the drive, that might be good for blog photos... there's a green wall that says "Love" on it! Yes indeedy there is! Good eye, psychic mommaballoona! Big Daddy has a part in this story too, and you can read about it over at Makery, where I'm playing in Portia's series The Refashioners (there's also a metric ton of prizes to win ifffn you want to get in on the refashioning craze yourself).
I've been everywhere but here this birthday week, partying with #sewphotohop and The Sewing Party, but I would really like to say thank you for all of the birthday wishes, right here on the blog, where I've met so many friends. Sewists are the sweetest. Have a great weekend, see you here next week with some dresses!

DeleteHappy Birthday. Highly embellished (embroidery, trims, applique, or all) denim is really on trend right now... must be the seventies rehatch. The denim jackets are especially pricy right now.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the refashioning world. I tend to snatch up pieces in thrift shops that have nice fabric and lots of it. It's basically cheap fabric.
Oh, and because I promised you more music once and it's your birthday, here's one of the best singers of former Czechoslovakia:
