Sewing Project


Spring days are rainy days here in Portland. Inside, I'm attempting clothes inspired by the idea of sun. The skirt is from a vintage Chanel-inspired suit pattern my grama gave me. She had loads of patterns up in her attic and I came away with some great designs to play around with.

Even better, this winter (on a sunny day) I stumbled into an estate sale and found piles of fabrics from the 40's through the 60's, along with zippers, lining material and everything else the dearly departed used to make clothing for friends and family. I am putting them to good use. I hope she is glad her unfinished projects are taking on new life.
