I made the wrap version, with the short sleeves and the belt.
The fabric is a cotton voile from Westminster Fibers, in a colorway that is ideal for someone with three black and white dogs.
I thought the fabric would be too sheer to wear without a slip or lining but it turns it's absolutely fine without, which is great. This a perfect summer dress.
MM Theme: Simplicity.
Trying to capture falling feathers - not very simple! The quote is apt.
Note to self: Think of something more simple next time!

Ps: sorry for dumping in early (officaly 39 mins). I'm away for a few days.
This was from our first night in WA. The beach was just couple of minutes walk from the Coogee holiday park we were staying that night.
We were just sitting on the beach, enjoying the first sunset in the west, occasionaly clicking the button on our cameras
I wish I could go back .-)

A simple pleasure - the Cigar. Although it's not so simple to keep the right humidity in the Humidor. I'm keeping a stock of dried up expensive Cigars - at least useful for starting a fire.
It's also an effort to make a simple and elegant design on the label - which I have designed for a Friend.

Ironically, I'm finding it far from simple to explain this picture. In short, I find it fascinating that the simple sound "om" or "aum" (which is the symbol in this picture) has such a complex meaning; not only in general, but also for me personally. To me this photo illustrates that juxtaposition of complexity and simplicity in a way which I can't figure out how to explain properly
(Before anyone comments on this, I am aware that the symbol is missing a dot. I somehow forgot it when I was drawing it and didn't realize it was missing until the photo had already been edited)
Theme 1/31: Simplicity
This dress had so many little pieces, which was perfect for using up the ends of some favorite fabrics. Very fun pattern! The headband is not part of the pattern. . .made that one up.
Date: 1957

This image is for Kim Klassen's Be Still 52 Week 4. Kim introduced us to the concept of wabi sabi, which I'd never heard of before. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity (roughness or irregularity), simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. I chose to photograph these orchid blooms for a touch of the oriental influence in a soft simplistic manner to express one of the characteristics of wabi sabi. I have a new-found and great appreciation for wabi sabi.

West Bengal State Handicrafts Expo, Milan Mela, Kolkata
Images of Bengal, India
22nd West Bengal State Handicrafts Expo 2014-2015 (Paschim Banga Hastashilpa Mela)
India’s largest handicraft’s fair, an annual event displays the workmanship of the artisans of West Bengal, the neglected frontrunners of traditional art of the state.
The Expo spreads over an area of 82,000 sq ft and has incurred an estimated total sales of Rs.1500.00 lakh (£1.5 million pound). It is the initiative of the Department of Micro and Small Scale Enterprises and Textiles, Government of West Bengal, organized every year with the aim to provide the artisans an exposure to the urban markets, know their taste and interact with the buyers or exporters directly, so that they can get orders for their products all throughout the year.
The traditional origins based on culture and mythology, the workmanships, the richness of ideas, the brilliant combination of pure simplicity and glamour bring an amazing experience to truly understand their talent.
Needed some yellow in the wardrobe. Forgot to pre-wash the interfacing and it shrunk - grrrr.... little bubbles everywhere, oh well you can't tell if you iron it well.
No fancy swirls, no pastels, just a simple livery on a simple bus to do a simple job! Although the slide scan is a little poor it goes to show how things were 'back in the day'.
You could tell where you were by the colour of a bus. If it was orange you were in Manchester, blue was Birmingham etc. South Yorkshire PTE settled on this brown and buttermilk livery which was applied following the fine lines of the bodywork. No upswept swoops, just a plain, but effective livery.
The bus is a Dennis Dominator which was a bit like an updated Fleetline. South Yorkshire took a liking to them and built up quite a fleet of them, most with Alexanders R type bodywork like on this 1982 built specimen, though Northern Counties bodied a small batch and East Lancs bodied a fair few. All however followed the same design as the R type, no doubt for ease of spares stocks although the NCME examples carried their standard front dome.
This is the second version of this dress I have made - this one is made with fabric bought at Scarborough Sewing Centre and it's called Brooklyn Heights and is designed by Kitty Yoshida. Scarborough sewing centre sell a range of quilting cottons but this is a lighter cotton more suited to dressmaking.
I'm wearing the dress with grey tights (to match the weather!) and Irregular Choice shoes.

This is the first Simplicity 2591 dress I made (I made another which will probably appear later in the month). I made it with Michael Miller Marcia fabric, and it is View D of the pattern.
It was rainy and cold today, so I'm wearing the dress with brown tights, an old brown cardigan from Debenhams (with pretty multicoloured buttons!), a bright pink flower necklace, my Nica handbag and my hot pink cowboy boots from America! You can't see too clearly in the picture, but the centres of the flowers are hot pink, which is why I chose to accessorise with pink.
I originally blogged about this dress here: threadcarefully.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/tabathas-april-c...
