Bust 30"
Simplicity Designer's Pattern: 1 piece afternoon or informal dinner dress. The top has a surplice effect. The skirt front consists of 2 sections, and the back, of 4 sections forming godets at the lower part. In Version A the yoke and long sleeves are cut in one. A high V Version B features wide shoulder bands which are gathered and cross in back.
Date Completed: 26th December, 2013
Pattern: Simplicity 2226
Fabric: Bridgetown in Starfruit, part of the Waterfront Park collection by Violet Craft bought at Hawthorne Threads.
Inspiration: Haha this is a long story.
1) Original inspiration is a Gorman skirt from SS 2011/2012 - cotton, midi, mustard and featured a bold cheetah print. Love at first sight. Except that it was $289. Even pre-baby and debt free, I balked at the price. And then it sold out before I had the chance to try it on.
2) Some months (maybe a year) later, I saw an Alexander Henry print Kewende which was in the same vein but instead featured zebras. After much procrastination, by the time I decided to purchase it and make my own skirt, the "gold" colourway was sold out.
3) Then I saw this little girls skirt by Probably Actually, which is a long way from points 1 and 2 but there IS a common thread - the colour, and the whimsical element.
Comments: As I had said previously when I made the toile way back when, this skirt is ultra puffy when viewed from the side and back due to the gathering on the back of the skirt. Despite knowing this, I decided to make this anyway because I wanted skirt with pockets which hits below the knee, and couldn't be bothered looking for a new pattern.

I am totally in love with this dress someone else made and bought the same pattern and fabric. www.flickr.com/photos/theworkroom/6275177391/in/faves-646...
It's in the works but I also wanted to make something less fitted and casual out of this amazing print.
My modifications: much needed ones as the pattern is a funny fit!
--took out pleats and added pin tucks instead
--added piping to highlight yoke. Added hidden pockets for fun.
--shaped side seams and removed about 2-3 inches off the sides of front and back piece

Simplicity Lisette 2209 made up in a mint green pique. I loved this pattern so much that I made it again! Blogged at Idle Fancy.
Note: Pattern construction notes are detailed in my original rose print version of 2209 at my blog.
Sadly, I would wear this. As streetwear.
I love the blue one with the red apron. I'd do narrower sleeves, though.
Our first assignment in Beyond Beyond is to take at least 10 different photos of one subject varying the angle, perspective, depth of field, etc. Then create a collage of the ones you like the best.

This one was easy, even though it's not the most artful or attractive image...
This photo shows part of my company's corporate logo, a window decal on the door to Manufacturing. The jagged edge across the top is part of the logo too, so I didn't crop it out. I have always like the way the light plays off the diamond shapes of the privacy panel on the door. I thought it would be fun to use this image for today's ODT and ODC!
We provide data storage solutions for a wide range of customers, from small companies to military applications. Our main focus is on "simplicity"...!
From our Mission Statement:
"Data storage needs continue to expand. Servers have proliferated. Power, cooling, space and budgets are strained. Existing equipment has been stretched to the end of their useful lives and beyond by the difficult economy – but are still expected to deliver non-stop 24x7 dependability in their environment. Virtualization of both servers and storage are now real. The large storage vendors still command large prices. The result is that storage architectures threaten to become more complex and expensive – and decisions continue to become more difficult.
Our answer is to deliver the best overall value: simplicity, performance and economy."
It's just that simple. :-)
