I now have several projects on the go right now - not quite completing them - does this happen to everyone else? I am usually OCD in completing things so this is not normal for me. Plus I am moving my sewing studio to a larger room so everything is in transition right now. I am also trying out fabric I have never sewed with before so I guess this is a good enough excuse for not finishing them. I did design this winter white dress making up my own simple shift pattern. I used snow white anti-pill fleece for the fabric. Yes, I know fleece! I wanted a white dress and this is what I had in my stash!! This dress is so comfortable & cosy! I did end up cutting a bodice part and a skirt part for a proper fit.
For my snowball scarflette I used my same pattern as my Noir Scarflette.
I always pin before I sew - it really does help.

The pom-poms were easy to sew on!
I added pockets that I cut free hand and sewed the matching trim on.
For the bottom hem of my dress I hand sewed on these circle rings - a pain to hand sew but I love the look!
I also got the stunning scissor necklace and bold brooch from a consignment store called Unique & Trendy. I met the owner and she was very friendly and helpful! She has her jewelry brought in from L.A so it is refreshing to see new and unique pieces! Her store is fabulously laid out and I could spend a lot of time in there just browsing! She lots of glam & glitter with a modern edge to it. It truly is a unique & trendy boutique!
I am starting a Fashion Friday post on my blog and I would love to see what readers of this blog are creating. Send me an email with a fashion item you have created and I will feature it next week.
This is my Fashion Friday outfit!
