They come in so handy, especially with sleeveless dresses which I do love to wear to work, in air conditioning! Recently I bought a few plain cardis in op shops because I loved the shape of them - they're not shapeless cardis like most of the ones I already own, but nicely figure hugging cardis with a fitted waist. But they were boring black and boring oatmeal. So I had a think about ways to pretty them up.<br />

First up I chose the oatmeal cardi and I was inspired to embroider some bright flowers, after seeing some <i>vaguely</i> similar ones on Bates Motel and Neighbours (stop laughing). I couldn't find any pictures online, and couldn't get a good look at the ones on the TV shows, so made up my own design using grub roses, lazy daisies and french knots. It's a long time since I did any embroidery, so I just winged it. :)<br />

Next up was a second hand Portmans black cardi and I went with a simple chain stitch to define the neckline and cuffs.<br />

<br />
By the way, I just found <a href="http://sublimestitching.com/pages/how-to-chain-stitch" target="_blank">these instructions</a> for doing chain stitches backwards, which makes it really easy to keep the stitches the same length. I wish I read this first!<br />
<br />
Next up to embellish will be a white fitted knit top. I haven't quite decided what I'll do with that..<br />
<br />
I've altered lots of clothes I've bought in op shops. Use your
imagination and think about ways to embellish something plain or turn an
ill fitting dress with gorgeous fabric into a skirt!

Tassy's school ukulele band were playing on stage the last day of the school term. Dave doesn't work Friday and, even though I usually do, I had taken the Friday off to go to Sydney at lunchtime, so we were both able to go and watch in the morning. It was a lightning quick trip, but I managed to snap some photos of the beautiful bulbs, and to buy a cup of yummy honey puffs (hot doughnuts). I hate to miss Floriade!<br />

It's a 45 minute round trip so I decided to make it worth my while. First I rewarded the chauffeur by taking myself to San Churro for hot chocolate (REAL hot chocolate - there is no substitute!) and churros with caramel dipping sauce. Really, that probably would have been enough of a reward in itself, but I decided to take myself to the three op shops near his office. First up was the fairly new Smith Family op shop which is massively overpriced. Like ridiculously so. I would have bought myself a pair of men's Gap oxford shoes if they weren't $38 (I googled and I could buy them brand new for $41!). I did however buy 2 Judy Blume books (turns out I already had them with different covers - do'h), 10 zippers and this dress.<br />

I really loved the fabric, the neckline and the sleeves, and it's fully lined. But I really didn't like the high waistline. It made the dress feel like a big sack and wasn't flattering at all. After pondering it for the afternoon I realised the gathered waistband wasn't gathered after all - it had pleats! So I sewed them down, wore a belt lower than the seam and now it's so much better! <br />

I got a few other pieces of clothing in Vinnies and Salvos that day so I'll share them here soon!Yvette Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06382534884932840432noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30829953.post-17552588171892184682014-08-27T08:09:00.000+10:002014-08-26T21:26:06.910+10:00What I Wore WednesdayI bought this cherry fabric at Lincraft recently in a 40% off fabric sale. I LOVE SALES! I only bought one metre because that's all I'd need to make a skirt. Afterwards I realised the border print was only along one selvedge, which meant the border wouldn't go all around the hem of the skirt, so I went back to Lincraft to buy another metre... Of course I wasn't the only one with such fantastic taste in fabric, so unfortunately it was all sold out! As were all the other Lincraft stores in Canberra. So it sat in a bag for a two or three months because I couldn't decide how I would utilise the border print. Should I have it only on the front hem? Or use it in the waistband? Or run it up a side seam? In the end I decided to just have it on the front hem. And I can't see the back when I'm wearing it, so I'm pretty satisfied LOL. <br />

Oh my goodness, the food was amazing. Especially the seafood and desserts! Then it was back to their place for a special cake for the retired electrician. It was a lovely afternoon to celebrate his birthday.<br />

So now I have a few outfit posts coming up soon. First one coming up!<br />
<br />
Last year I bought some gorgeous check fabric at Spotlight, reduced to $3/m. I bought quite a lot and last year I made <a href="http://yvetteadams.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/what-i-wore-wednesday.html" target="_blank">this dress</a>. It's tricky to sew with because the fabric doesn't sit straight - it warps all over the place, but it falls beautifully and feels lovely to wear.<br />
<br />
I had heaps of fabric left over so I recently made a skirt. I decided to use up ALL the fabric, which meant it was a really full skirt, but also quite long. I didn't use a pattern - the waistband and the skirt are both just rectangles.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizlvAz3foPplP8MBleBRd0KfBNy4X4LZm073IFCKt00Q_ycjpENOcb9baQS8xNdHa-LgwoG4Gv7bX9sW7N8u-URBfUCFgx6oMmk3OlXMd3Mvi4pMiA0Lo4dr00Yt4aTQRwnTZo/s1600/wiww+2c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizlvAz3foPplP8MBleBRd0KfBNy4X4LZm073IFCKt00Q_ycjpENOcb9baQS8xNdHa-LgwoG4Gv7bX9sW7N8u-URBfUCFgx6oMmk3OlXMd3Mvi4pMiA0Lo4dr00Yt4aTQRwnTZo/s1600/wiww+2c.jpg" height="640" width="462" /></a></div>
<br />
I'm still not sold on the length - I'll probably shorten it eventually, but I've worn it several times at this length. The skirt is roughly pleated into the waistband.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought this top at the Zonta pre-loved clothing sale recently. I loved the colour but it was shapeless and un-flattering. I took the sides in before the following picture was taken, and afterwards I sewed some vintage lace around the collar for a bit more pretty. </div>

<br />
So my very thrifty outfit went a little something like this.<br />
<br />
Top - $10 at Zonta pre-loved clothing sale<br />
Skirt - Made by me for about $6<br />
Cardi - hand me down from my sister Alicia<br />
Brooch - gift from my sister Charlotte<br />
Shoes - faves from I Love Billy, which are knocking at deaths door but I refuse to turn off life support just yet<br />
<br />
My friend Sam, who has the most awesome taste in clothing, has recently started a blog and done a Bernie Dexter dress post <a href="http://tabbyfuchsia.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/bernie-dexter-love.html" target="_blank">here</a>!Yvette Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06382534884932840432noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30829953.post-77779333630047649972014-08-11T14:56:00.000+10:002014-08-11T14:56:13.454+10:00Blog Hopping With a DifferenceMy dear friend <a href="http://mardiwinen.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/blog-hopping-with-difference.html" target="_blank">Mardi Winen</a> invited me to join the crafty little Blog Hop that's making the rounds in the blogging world. Mardi and I have been friends (thanks to the internet!) for a long time now, working on some Design Teams together, exchanging emails and keeping up with each other via blogs and Instagram. We met in real life a few years ago on a retreat and she was just a warm and beautiful and real as I thought - a beautiful soul.<br />
<br />
So this Blog Hop is about crafting. Actually, the posts I've seen so far have been about scrapbooking but I'm going with a different theme. Dressmaking. :) <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">I bought this collection of new and vintage zips at the op shop for $3.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="ecxnull"><b>What am I working on
right now?</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Right now I'm between projects but I have lots of fabric washed and ready to sew into dresses or skirts. Some are summer fabrics so I'll leave those for a bit later. I aim to use my heavier fabrics first so I can get some wear out of them this year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="ecxnull"><b>How long does it take
to create a project?</b></span><br /><span class="ecxnull">When I make a skirt or a dress I try to get the whole thing done in a day. But it doesn't always work out that way. Sometimes I give myself a head start by cutting the fabric the day before. And sometimes I don't get to do the finishing touches until another day. But my aim is to get it done in a day, so I choose a day when I don't have much else planned. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="ecxnull"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="ecxnull">I cut this dress out the day before I planned on sewing it. I used vintage sheeting as lining - it's pretty and it's cheap!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="ecxnull"><b>What are my fave
things I love to create <strike>with</strike> at the moment? </b></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm finding skirts to be pretty quick and easy. When I make skirts I usually don't use a pattern. I have a purchased
skirt in a style I
like, so I lay that on my fabric and use it as a guide for cutting out a
curved waistband, then I usually try to fit as much fabric into the
skirt as I can, so that it's as full as possible. I always use patterns
for dresses, but I often alter the design, or use a combination of two
patterns - like the bodice from one with the skirt from another.</span><br />

<br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="ecxnull"><b>How does my creative
process work?</b></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> When I shop for fabric I don't usually search for something specific, I just buy what appeals to me. When I see something I like it usually seems pretty obvious to me whether it would work best as a skirt or a dress. I loved this cherry fabric and because it's thin I thought it would work best as a dress. Because I'm so fair, prints on a white background don't flatter me, so I chose a plain red to use as a trim. Defining the skirt hem, neckline and armholes in a darker fabric should be more flattering on me. </span><br />

Twice a year she has a little garden party to sell her wares to her friends. She's always got a million projects planned and has withdrawals if she hasn't been into the sewing room for a few days.

<br />
I've been hearing the whip crack, so I thought I'd give an update on what we got up to in the school holidays. I love school holidays! They usually seem to go so quickly, but this time they seemed to slow down a little, so I felt like we got to enjoy it more! <br />
<br />
Tassy had wanted to do some crafting, so we did a bit of fimo modelling, glass painting and scrapbooking. (I now realise that I didn't photograph Tassy's glass painting or fimo LOL. The scrapbooking is hers tho!)<br />

I dragged Tassy along to Jazzercise each day, much to her chagrin. So I took her to the shops after each class for a bit of a treat. One day we went to San Churro (oh my goodness - LOVE!), then we saw Maleficent at the movies, which we also loved! Here she has a hot chocolate we were sharing at San Churro - I won't make that mistake again. We shared evenly, but half a hot chocolate is not enough! By the way, she mustn't have hated coming to Jazz too much, because last weekend she ASKED if she could come with me - she wanted to do an hour of "nothing" (she drew pictures the whole time).<br />

And we tried a few new recipes. I'd always wanted to make honeycomb. It was fun and easy and turned out pretty well, except next time I won't cook it as long as the recipe says...<br />

A year or two ago mum gave my sisters and I a copy of the Women's Weekly Little Squares and Slices cookbook. She loved it when she bought herself a copy, especially loving the styling. She found out later that her friend's daughter was the stylist! And she'd used a lot of her mother's and grandmother's tableware. which made mum love the cookbook even more! It is a beautiful book and I am working my way through the recipes. This time we made raspberry chocolate brownies and boy they were so good. I do love a good brownie, but with the addition of tart raspberries - wow!<br />

Tassy also had a sleepover for a friend's birthday, which was aaaaalmost a 24 hour sleepover! Although, of course, not a lot of sleep was had. I think they got about 5 hours sleep and surprising Tassy wasn't obnoxious the following day. Maybe she can handle it better as she gets older. They went ice skating too - it was 24 hours of party! It was really nice for Tassy's parents too, who tried a new restaurant and enjoyed some quality time. Oh, two new restaurants actually, cos we went out for dinner then lunch the following day!

The Mood Board inspired me to come up with this. I found a scrap of paper on my desk documenting Tassy's first trip to the cinema. I'm sure it couldn't have been floating around on my desk for nine years... but maybe!<br />

I had a look around the shops and boy, I wasn't keen on what I found! I ended up buying three plain tops in Kmart for $4 and $6 each, with a mind to pretty them up.<br />
<br />
When I bought this marle grey I really wanted to add neutrals to it. I didn't have something specific in mind but thought I'd try some doilies and vintage trims. I love the offcut trim on the neckline. It would have been great to have enough to go all the way around, but I think this is still OK. I wanted the doilies to overlap and casually flow up towards the shoulder, and scattered a few buttons around. I stuck everything down with a glue stick first, then machine stitched the trims and doilies and hand sewed the buttons. The wooden bonjoir button came from the underground markets in Wellington when I was there with my family 18 months ago.<br />

Twice at the op shops I have scored tins of vintage buttons. It's so exciting to rummage through to find really special gems. I will have to post some pics of special button finds on my blog soon. Anyway, along with gems there's a plethora of plain buttons. They're still pretty because they're so shiny and nice and heavy, not like cheap modern plastic buttons. For this top I gathered all the plain buttons on the table and roughly made them into a heart shape. I used this to gauge the right size to make my hand drawn heart, then drew the heart on the Tshirt with a water soluble pen. I cut a piece of vintage sheeting the same size and attached it to the inside of the Tshirt for some extra stability. Then I used a glue stick to attach all the buttons to the heart. It didn't really take much rearranging to make them fit. Once the glue was dry I sat on the couch and hand sewed the buttons in place. <br />

This was actually the first one I did, and if I was going to do it again I'd make the bow smaller. But to tell the truth, I can't bring myself to pull this apart and do it again, so it's going to stay a big bow. :) I used leftover fabric from a dress I made Tassy last summer. I sewed a long rectangle for the loops of the bow, a small rectangle for the centre of the bow and a long rectangle for the ties.<br />

She's got a few new wardrobe pieces now, and all up they only cost $14.Yvette Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06382534884932840432noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30829953.post-38051543064839399252014-04-20T21:53:00.001+10:002014-04-20T21:53:56.815+10:00ScrapbookingI was super lucky recently - as a <a href="http://jotmagazine.com/meet-the-jot-team/" target="_blank">Jot Girl </a>I received a package of Heidi Swapp and Becky Higgins Project Life products, to help promote their recent tour down under. It's a long time since I've played with new products and I had a ball! <br />
<br />
I started with this old photo of my sisters and I with our cousins, who visited us about once a year in Grafton. We lived so far from all our family and we LOVED having them come to stay with us! We were really lucky we lived in an elevated house with the underneath all enclosed so there was plenty of room for two big families!<br />

Mum said me this photo ages ago after she had stayed with my sister. She was blow drying her hair and litle 2yo Xander watched her for a bit then raced off and came back with his toy drill, which he then used to blowdry his hair too. TOO CUTE! <br />

There were some Project Life page protectors in my package, and since I'm not doing <a href="https://beckyhiggins.com/about-project-life/" target="_blank">Project Life</a> I decided to use a page to display some of the photos from our hot air ballooning adventure from my 40th birthday last year. I hand drew the title on one of the Project Life cards, inspired by chalkboard typography. <br />

I loved this reproduction 1960s shirt dress pattern, and bought some cute bird and leaf fabric along with some royal blue for a contrasting collar. (Butterick 5747)<br />
<br />
I thought some matching buttons would be cute. :) They're so easy to make. <br />

<br />
The dress was too small to start with but after letting out the seams it fits OK. Not awesome, but OK. I'm really happy I went with a contrasting colour. I ditched the dickey (he he) cos that made the neckline too high and I already liked the shape of the neckline with the collar, so I bought a cheap singlet top to wear underneath which only shows a little. I wish the skirt wasn't so deceptively full in the drawing - otherwise I would have made it much fuller! I didn't realise until it was too late.<br />

<br />
I took the pattern pieces out of the packet and almost threw away the first couple of small pieces, since they had no printing on them. I thought they were rubbish. Then I realised ALL the pieces were like that, and they had little holes punched in them. I did freak out a little at first, but after reading the instructions I realised it was easy to cut and mark up.<br />

I do love this fabric, but I've decided the style doesn't really suit me. It does look better with a belt tho.<br />

Here are some pics of mum in 1969 wearing a dress Grandma made her using the same pattern. She has the version with sleeves, which I actually tried with mine, but it looked too utilitarian so I removed them.<br />

Mum's dress has the neckline according to the pattern. I altered mine cos it was SO high and choking me! <br />

I didn't have anything in particular in mind, but I did want it to be vintage and to be wanting a makeover. In a quick stop in a Goulburn Op Shop recently I found this for $20. That was more than I wanted to pay at an op shop, but I knew I already had paint at home so the only other expense would be a new knob for the drawer. I remembered Charlotte buying some beautiful vintage wallpaper when we were in Wellington NZ, so I asked her if she could spare a little bit for me. I had plans...<br />
<br />

<br />
So in one day I gave it a sand, undercoat and two top coats. I used aquadhere to attach the wallpaper (isn't it so beautiful!!), and the next day I bought the knob. It was done in no time! I am SO happy with it!<br />

After all, they had 50% off everything in the store and there were 5.3m for, in the end, $5! <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVDdDOPvf84qiwKb5Jx8OobTA6-3yG-TNzKV-qTYYl4TfD-owKljp5EcvkntLPw4QO07MHCRrWFLcahNrGwUtW_RK1P9XXacJwNzy2hTHoDslB2hHoC-gNwIdHleuX7iq3rBdE/s1600/20140117_071304.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVDdDOPvf84qiwKb5Jx8OobTA6-3yG-TNzKV-qTYYl4TfD-owKljp5EcvkntLPw4QO07MHCRrWFLcahNrGwUtW_RK1P9XXacJwNzy2hTHoDslB2hHoC-gNwIdHleuX7iq3rBdE/s1600/20140117_071304.jpg" height="548" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
I wasn't sure what I'd do with it but in the end decided to make old
faithful - another dress. :) I'm so glad I did. I just love it, so
much more than I expected! I wasn't too thrilled on all the brown, so I
chose to have a yellow trim to bring out the yellow flowers. I think
it makes the dress so happy.<br />
<br />

<br />
I changed the pattern a little - I made the neckline higher, the shoulders wider, the skirt has more volume and I gave it unpressed box pleats instead of gathers. The box pleats took a bit of fiddling but I love them. The sash with a bow is something new too.<br />
<br />

<br />
The fabric was so nice to sew with, and is so nice to wear. Barkcloth is quite thick and textured. I had to trim a few bulky seems - in some places six layers thick, which is a bit much when the fabric is so thick! It feels so nice to wear though.<br />

<br />I was careful with the placement of the pattern pieces so the bodice pieces would have the same print on both sides, front and back. I was glad I had so much fabric to play with!<br />

The dress cost me about $8. Less than $3 worth of barkcloth, $3 for the yellow fabric and $2 for the zipper.<br />
<br />
Dress - Made by me <br />
Shoes - Pierre Fontaine (these poor shoes have no soles and are too far gone to be repaired... and yet I continue to wear them... I haven't found a replacement pair yet!)<br />
Necklace - gift from Mum, from the Stitches and Craft Fair I think<br />

We had a really lovely busy family Christmas with my family in Wollongong. It really felt like Christmas. Charlotte and her family were there for Christmas (I got lots of baby snuggles) and Alicia and Felicity and their families came for a day after Christmas, so it was wonderful to see them all.</div>

<br />
If you ever go there I recommend going at feeding time. The guide we had was fantastic and told us so many interesting things about the sea creatures we saw. The tour/feeding went for an hour.<br />
<br />
I am totally creeped out by octopus. They are fascinating, but they just creep me out. This one could open a jar to get his dinner. Very impressive. And so creepy.<br />

These are cuttlefish. They are the weirdest looking creatures! I only knew them by their remains on the beach which birds like to grind their beaks on. I had no idea what they actually looked like in life. They are related to octopus and are very intelligent. And they can change colour! <br />

It was good timing to get them both just before Christmas! I wore this one 5 times in less than two weeks, but I figured that was OK cos I had a different audience each time. :) <br />

These are the books I read last year. A great variety I know! I don't stick with one author or genre. And I read a lot of children's books cos I still read to Tassy most nights.<br />
<br />
Favourites - well I loved Gone Girl and YAY they're making the movie! The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and The Da Vinci Code - it took me a while to jump on the bandwagon for those two! Oh, and I loved The Messenger by Markus Zusak who wrote The Book Thief which I also loved. He writes so well. Really captivates you.<br />
<br />
Fizzers - Well I was excited about The Elegance of the Hedgehog but didn't enjoy it at all. Also not to keen on Cloudstreet and The Reader. <br />
<br />
As for children's books - I didn't really love any this year. The Golden Door was probably my favourite. Artemis Fowl would be the least favourite.<br />
<br />

And now I will take you back in time to November, playing catch up on my blog. :)<br />

Dave had a milestone birthday in November and not being one for parties he decided to celebrate with the three of us spending a week at the beach. We stayed in a beautiful apartment on the river, walking distance to the beach in one direction and town in the other. We walked to the beach, explored the estuary, swam, ate out, saw some movies and just had a nice, relaxing week. With
plenty of presents for the birthday boy. Here come a mountain of photos
from our week.<br />
