Contact Jet Set Sewing. Recreating Designer Looks from the 30s to the 70s. Free patterns for quick projects! So not like me, right? By Jet Set Sewing. June 25, 2015. While I’m getting my summer sewing operation set up, (the “thinking about it” phase is so much more fun that the “pinning and cutting” phase…) here are a couple of free patterns I had fun with earlier in the year. The original pattern is a very simple tee with a ballet neck and kimono shoulders that extend to cap sleeves. I decided to ra...

Dressing Up Extreme Casual With A Not-So-Casual Pearl Bracelet | Privilege
http://amidprivilege.com/2015/05/dressing-extreme-casual-notsocasual-pearl-bracelet
Dressing Up Extreme Casual With A Not-So-Casual Pearl Bracelet. This post is sponsored by The Pearl Source. It is time for Privilege to give away a few pearls. As I said, back when, I own more than my fair share. Earrings, a necklace, a pin. But in setting up this giveaway, I took my cue from pearls that got away, the 3-strand bracelet I had made from 7MM Mikimotos my father had given me when I turned 25. Traveling without a jewelry box leads to a fairly odd conjunction of accessories. Together, pale blu...

An Actual Room Of One’s Own, Or, Saturday Morning at 9:32am. I visited my mom this week. On the way to Santa Barbara, I stopped in the totally surprisingly adorable town of Los Olivos. To have lunch with Margy of Fool For Fabric. What a gift. You know when the universe offers you a token of future possible? Margy is older than I am. She’s been working in her studio for years, in various modes of creation. Now she sews some pretty astonishing clothes. I was considering for what has been my son’s roo...

Blush or Champagne? | fit for a queen
https://fitforaqueen.wordpress.com/2015/07/27/blush-or-champagne
Fit for a queen. Tales from the Sewing Studio. Guess Who is Back? A Gift from David’s →. July 27, 2015. She ordered her custom made dress. 6 months ago. She wrote and asked me first if she should add an extended train to the totally tulle skirt…. As it could not be bustled up for dancing…she ordered it anyway and didn’t tell her mother. The bride wanted the straps to be 3 inches wide as the finished width. Once attached and the under fabric trimmed away it looked like it was made that way originally.

Is Drudgery Inevitable, Or, Saturday Morning at 10:24am. Compiling 100 entries for the Pearl Source giveaway took longer than predicted. I started yesterday afternoon, lost steam last night, finished up this morning. Larks. I’ve announced the winner on the original post. I guess today’s question is: how much drudgery do we need to expect and bear up under, over time? 8220;Sweetly sings the donkey, at the break of day. If you do not feed him, this is what he’ll say.

Gorgeous Fabrics' Blog. Gorgeous Fabrics: The Name Says It All! Shameless Plug – Susan Khalje’s Classes and Videos. Inside a Burberry Trench Part 2 – The Removable Liner. April 16, 2015. Almost four years ago, I wrote what has proved to be one of my most popular posts, Inside a Burberry Trench. The liner, installed in the coat. And on its own. This is the liner turned inside out on Shelley. This is what would be against the body when wearing the coat. The horizontal plaid is matched perfectly across all ...

Events & Classes. It’s Sew Easy TV. How to Make Covered Buttons. Embellishing is one of my favorite things to do, in fact sometimes I even add touches to ready-to-wear garments. One of the easiest ways to restyle is to change the buttons. Even better, your own custom covered buttons! From simple to couture, this is what I will cover in the next series of blogs. Each button has 2 parts: a top that you will wrap your fabric around and a base that snaps onto the back, securing the fabric. If you can’t...

What Color Does A High WASP Paint Her Front Door For Good Feng Shui? | Privilege
http://amidprivilege.com/2014/11/painting-house
What Color Does A High WASP Paint Her Front Door For Good Feng Shui? As part of the house fix-up, we’re having everything painted, inside and out. The house exterior has always been light greenish-gray with white trim, the interior varying shades of white on both walls and trim. I feel little urge for change. Except. I want to paint my front door a completely different color. Right now it’s white. White, old, and all banged up. Shall we share a few ugly photos? How to choose the new shade? What does the ...

How to Make Bad Days Okay

Switch to mobile version. How to Make Bad Days Okay. We human beings suffer from a persistent illusion that creates a huge amount of needless stress: we see today as much bigger and more significant than other days. It doesn’t feel like it though, because it seems like the person you were back then — the person those problems belonged to — wasn’t quite. Yet You were still on your way to becoming who you are. You still had some bad habits you no longer have; you were still in a job or a relationship t...
