Fiesta, forever.come on and sing along. If you grew up in santa barbara, fiesta is part of your soul. it's a summer marker that is etched in your brain. being in parades, watching parades, making cascarones, buying cascarones, meeting up with old friends, drinking margaritas, dancing, dressing in costume, eating churros, tacos, feeling a slice of history and just having a good time are all part of the 5 day celebration! Santa barbarian which furthers my interest in showing them all there is to the party!

love + merriment = family: 12.14
http://loveandmerriment.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
I will remember november. Thanksgiving morning 2014, where my gratitude begins. A few images of what made up the month of november around here this year. a month traditionally geared toward being thankful, i'm reminded that along with the days getting more full on the calendar, our hearts are also filling up! We adore our two. I started bread baking this month. totally new to me - and i (we all) love it! I always take the girls with me to vote. hoping they'll absorb the importance as they grow older.

Sewing Is Hard: Gene Jeanies
http://sewingishard.blogspot.com/2015/07/gene-jeanies.html
Vintage Stitchery (and occasional random junk) From Fogville, USA. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. In the pile of fabric I got from my mom last year, there was this AMAZING 70s striped denim. I just knew that it had to become these jeans from 1968. I made View 2. I saw my mom a few weeks ago and was wearing the jeans. She gasped and said, "I made those exact pants once.". I laughed and told her that I used the fabric she gave me. Great minds think alike" she said. Good taste is in our genes? August 10, 2015 at...

Sewing Is Hard: March 2014
http://sewingishard.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Vintage Stitchery (and occasional random junk) From Fogville, USA. Friday, March 21, 2014. I have to admit that when I finished this dress, I wasn't sure about it. I cut a lot of corners (no lining, rolled hem) and was a bit ashamed that it wasn't my best work. I wore it once and wasn't convinced. After leaving it in a pile on the sewing room floor for weeks, I sent it off to the dry cleaners. When it came back I tried it on again and fell in love. A US company that was in business from 1807-2009. I'm le...

Sewing Is Hard: A Vera Sheet and Leftover Notions
http://sewingishard.blogspot.com/2014/09/sheets-and-leftovers.html
Vintage Stitchery (and occasional random junk) From Fogville, USA. Sunday, September 14, 2014. A Vera Sheet and Leftover Notions. Someone donated a Vera Neumann. Full flat sheet to my favorite thrift store and I was lucky enough to find it! The design, I think, is intended to be wildflowers and grass and is darling and Spring-like! The skirt is just a simple dirndl gathered onto a piece of seam binding. The bodice is from this1970s jumpsuit pattern. It makes for a very bare back and potential side-boob!

Sewing Is Hard: Matchy Matchy Part II
http://sewingishard.blogspot.com/2015/06/matchy-matchy-part-ii.html
Vintage Stitchery (and occasional random junk) From Fogville, USA. Friday, June 19, 2015. Matchy Matchy Part II. This is the second of the matched sets we made. His is a Kwik Sew 575. Shirt and Simplicity 7146. The fabric is Robert Kaufman Retro Cameras. Despite starting with the same yardage, there was a lot less fabric left over for my suit. I used Sew Lovely B70. It is a bra pattern so the pieces are much smaller than the Simplicity 1426. The back band is shirred with elastic in the center. You are we...
