MMM Day 31

Posted on May 31, 2010 by

We end the month with my favorite dress.  I wish I could have a closet full of dresses from this pattern.  The truth is that is takes nearly 6yrds of fabric and that just isn’t very affordable.  I think tomorrow … Continue reading →

MMM Day 30

Posted on May 30, 2010 by

Almost done! I think I really like this outfit.  I’ve always thought of capris as not that flattering for me, but this outfit works.  I might consider making some in the future.

MMM Days 22 and 23

Posted on May 23, 2010 by

We’re heading into the last week of MMM.  I gotta say, I’m getting really tired of my wardrobe.  I’m thinking about the PatternReview Wardrobe Contest again.  I didn’t have much luck last year, so I need to be realistic about … Continue reading →

MMM Day 21 and review

Posted on May 21, 2010 by

Simplicity 1788 was given to me by a Fedora Lounge friend, the lovely and talented AmyJeane.  I’m calling this a wearable muslin.  The need to have things to wear for MMM take precedence over perfection! The fabric is from my … Continue reading →
