My cousin got married a few weeks ago and I desperately needed a dress for her wedding. I had my eye on the Danielle dress from Steven Alan, but when I finally decided to buy it, it was sold out in my size. So, I went ahead and made my own. I drafted the pattern and used a lovely polka dot linen from Gorgeous Fabrics that I had on hand and a cotton voile for the bodice lining. I had purchased the fabric earlier in the summer with the intention of making a pair of shorts, but in the end this turned out to be a much better use of the fabric. Luckily, I had just enough of it to make the dress. I stayed pretty faithful to the original design, only omitting the pockets.

peaches + pinks

images from Apiece Apart

I am really loving this color palette from Apiece Apart's S/S 2013 collection. I've been using lots of peaches and pinks in the stuff I'm making for my niece, who is due to arrive mid November!

placemats

I need placemats for my dining table. I want something simple and natural like the ones above. Why are the simplest things sometimes the hardest to find? My search begins.
