Tiny Top Hat

I. Am. Back..... Again. A lot of life changes and I'm getting back to my creative roots. I want to be creative again!!! I am going to try my hardest to post something every Friday. Fridays are good. And I think I can commit to once a week, don't you?

Tomorrow I am off to go shopping at a vintage shop in San Jose, CA with my mom and aunt. I have been waiting to do this for a very long time. I am super excited. I will tell you guys all about it. :)

This week I have a video for you. I made this really cute miniature top hat to go with my 1952 Butterick dress for one of my best friend's bridal shower. I was the maid of honor and so I had the privilege of throwing her shower - a mad tea party theme. It was a lot of fun. Enjoy!

1952 Butterick Dress... Finally!

So it's been about six months but alas, here it is!

The original pattern:

The finished dress:

My friend made the fascinator custom to match! It's awesome. I love this dress and I definitely didn't look like anyone else at the wedding. :) Good times.
I will get better pictures at some point this spring.

Circle Skirt Sew Along!

Hey everyone! I am so excited to join Casey's Circle Skirt Sew Along over at Elegant Musings. I've always wanted to make a 1950s circle skirt and here is my chance. Plus we'll be drafting our own patterns, so that will be cool. :) I encourage you all to join in the fun!
