Off to Disney, well tomorrow anyway. Monday, Jun 22 2009 

So tomorrow I leave for Disney. And right now I am in the middle of washing clothes, cleaning, and eventually packing. I am hoping to conquer two swing dresses before I have to leave :) I will have to see, because I have so much to do!!!

I think on the third day that we are there, we are eating at the 50’s prime time cafe, in which I am considering wearing this:

and of course my awesome 50’s style bathing suit:

Here is my 50’s inspired swing dress. It is a red and white polka dot fabric, and because I did not have enough of the red and white polka dot fabric, I made the middle out of red cotton. This was a pretty simple dress to make. Basically a circle skirt, a waist, and a sweetheart neckline bodice. I received many compliments and I love this.

I think the next dress I am going to work on will be a red bengaline. I just saw this type of dress yesterday, and I think it will be adorable, especially since you can wear different tops for them.

Back in action! Thursday, Jan 29 2009 

I haven’t been sewing since the summer, the end of the ren fair. But I have a major project coming up. Not so much major, but I procrastinated (as I always do) so now I am working on this last minute. Really no pattern will be used, lol. Gonna freehand it. So I will update later .
