Vintage Sewing Link Party #1

Hi there and welcome to the very first Vintage Sewing Link Party! I absolutely love vintage style clothing, and have made a resolution to sew myself a whole wardrobe of it! I am so glad you are here to join me in this little adventure. I would love to have you link up your vintage style sewing and craft projects and outfits!

I haven't taken pictures of my new dress yet, but I will be doing so tomorrow. Meanwhile, here's a snapshot of it to hold you over!

I love how it feels and looks, and I love having my first vintage-style piece of clothing made and in my closet! I'll be posting a full pattern review with the pictures.

My next vintage sewing project is this blouse, but I'm going to modify it and add longer sleeves and a button back instead of a side zipper. I can't wait to see how it turns out!

And now, for the link party!!

A few rules:

Family-friendly content only, please.

Only link up the same project once.

Please add the link party button to your blog.

Visit another link and leave a lovely comment.

And last but not least, enjoy yourself and come back soon!

Here's a few faves for this week:

Terracotta dishes from TJMaxx. I am SO in love with them. 

Made in Italy, and SUCH cute colors!

And, an added bonus is that they're reasonably priced. ($5-$15)

This SO cute and useful pitcher and bowl (also TJMaxx)

($10 each)

Playing the piano. Definitely my favorite thing to do.

Also look for a couple of tutorials that I'll be posting later on, how to make mercury glass candleholders, and chalkboard glasses. Thanks everyone!

I Made That! Thursday Link Party #3

Welcome back to I Made That! Thursday! Sorry I've been MIA for a little while.
Consolation prize, however, is the sewing room reveal which I will be posting tomorrow! And a tutorial for a ribbon board to follow...so hopefully that will make amends. Thanks for your patience!!
Here's a small explanation for why there's been no new tutorials:

First time ever canning with a pressure cooker. Very interesting to say the least. Learned a few things, like how hot pepper feels under the fingernails. Amazing....definitely amazing. 

My own concocted refrigerator pickle recipe. They are also...eh...interesting. We're still deciding if they're really, really good or REALLY awful. I have a feeling they're going to be in the fridge for a VERY long time.

(great photography by the way....award winning in fact) Ha!

Produce from the garden. The potatoes are SO good! 

Beautiful roses from our garden - the scent of them fills the whole room.

Best. Deal. Ever. Scarves on clearance from Kohl's - a whopping $5.60 each. That is a pretttyyy good price for a nice scarf, and they're the perfect weight for summer, fall or winter (or spring). You can pretty much wear them any way you want, including as a shawl. Pretty awesome deal!

Now for the featured craft:

Color Wheel Dress by Nest Full of Eggs

This is such a cute dress that I am sure a girl would love. Thanks so much Rachel!

Now to the link party!! Thank you all so much for your participation! I really appreciate it.



I Made That! Thursday Link Party #2

Welcome back to the 2nd I Made That! Thursday Link Party! Thank you so much to everyone who linked up! I really appreciate it, especially since this is a new link party.

I haven't been doing a whole lot of crafts - still busy working on the sewing room redo. Hopefully that'll all be done soon and I'll have some pictures for you! 

Tricolor Chevron Tutorial by Nest Full of Eggs

I am IN LOVE with chevron, so this one was a hands-down winner with me. Great job Rachel!!

Fruit Punch Infinity Scarf by Navy Wifey Peters

This scarf is so pretty! I also love pink, so of course I love this!! I can't wait to try it. Thanks for posting T'onna!

Crocheted Button by Content in the Meantime

This is such a great idea for a crocheted top, a purse, shawl, pretty much anything! And it's great because you don't have to use store buttons at all! Great tutorial Sara!

Be sure to grab an I've Been Featured button!

Now for the Link Party!! You may notice that it's just links and not pictures this time - at this point I'm not ready to start spending money on an extended plan yet, but I may very well do that in the future. Thanks for understanding!
