Recent Inspirations


It's been awhile since I've posted and...I'm sorry! I'm trying so hard to do better and post every day, and I'll keep trying. These are some of my recent inspirations. I think it's good to share inspirations with eachother because what inspires me might inspire you, too. And I know I'm always interested in what others are inspired by!

These lovely bags are from Christina Strutt's book 'Romantic Home Sewing' which is a completely delightful little book with all sorts of wonderful sewing ideas for the home, including aprons and bags. Yay! I love the fabrics she's chosen.



The image below shows the fabric of my new sofa. I am supremely satisfied with it! My first sofa! It's beautiful! What a wonderful present from my Sweet Vincent. The green fabric swatch on it shows a fabric that I'll be using as an accent color in the room.



Natalie! I love the dress she wore the other day on the Today show. Usually I don't watch it, but maybe I'll have to start just so that I can see her clothing! I remember I would often turn on the TV in the mornings when I was in High School so that I could get an idea of the latest styles and be inspired by Katie's clothing. I don't think I would make a dress like this, but a top sure would be cute.

Lately I've been so inspired by the clothing patterns from Simplicity. But I sort of have a rule that I don't sew everyday clothing for myself. And sometimes I want to break down and buy the cute patterns, but I usually have so much luck thrifting for clothing that I really don't need to sew myself anything...do I?



I've been working on the wedding lately, too. I started a new blog for the wedding planning. Check it out HERE.

I thought about starting a wedding blog. However, I rarely use my regular one so I figure I may as well use wedding babble to fill it up. :)
