more stripes!


yesterday, i think, i bought another striped shirt which is also very nice. it makes me feel a little space-aged, and i think it's awfully cute.

shirt is from ses, skirt is from portmans

today i spent many hours scrolling through pages of 60's dresses on ebay, then decided to do some sewing.


i have a large pile of clothes desperately needing alteration, so i got to work.


this was my first victim. the skirt is way too big, and the pleats are unflatteringly low, so i had to move around zippers and alter hems and everything. unfortunately, i am not the world's finest sewer. i get so impatient that i end up making a lot of silly mistakes, then assure myself that i can cover it all up with a belt.


this was the very sad result. i decided that i preferred scrolling through pages of 60's dresses on ebay.


what was nice about all of this was that i got to sit at my very sweet little workstation, and look at these while i sewed.
