Needed some fresh air and milk for my coffee. Perfect excuse for a trip down the street in -10.
This is a tree branch, btw. Shot with much bodily engagement and snow falling down my backside in the local cemetery. Thankfully, cemetery completely deserted and oh so peaceful, almost magical, in this weather.

For TRP: Word!
I've had a bamboo plant for over 5 years now. I've changed it's pot 3 times b/c it outgrows each one. It's starting to die. Well, it's been dying for a while. But there's still one stalk that is giving greens so we thought of planting it in our backyard.
p.s. this looks fab in lightbox, go on and view it bigger, you know you want to. ;)
5 yards.
I. Love. Tucks.
I have this absolutely demented impulse to make this out of one of those bias-stripe prints that seem to be popular right now. I'd piece and book-match the bodice and skirt, so the tucks would make the stripes form zig-zags. Gah!

A few weeks ago I bought a Olympus E-PL3. A small camera with interchangeable lenses, and with the right adapter even suitable to take photo's with old M42 and Minolta lenses. I didn't expect to like it this much... what a great little camera! It has even a nickname... Sir Ollie!
I tried some new photography, some more simple photo's. And damn... that's hard to do!! Please press "L" for a better view.

Pattern: Simplicity 4171
Fabric: 100% Rayon
Notions: Ten 5/8" buttons
Modifications/Alterations:
This is the second shirtdress I've made in the last couple of months. Shirtdresses are everywhere. Did you see the one Michael made on Project Runway last night? It was smokin' hot! Shirtdressing is very popular right now... just walk into any department store or boutique and there they are. I was inspired by the details of the Diane vonFurstenberg <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?FOLDERfolder_id=282574491208767&PRODUCTprd_id=845524446141848&R=663231545469&P_name=Diane+vonFurstenberg&sid=10D11565C966&ASSORTMENTast_id=1408474395222441&bmUID=1155688457038">Hillevi Shirtdress, so I decided to modify this pattern to have a similar look. There were a several alterations that I made:I lengthened front and back pieces by 2" because I felt I was a lot taller than the model on the envelope.I lengthened the sleeves by 1".Re-shaped pockets on lower edge corners from round to square.Changed pockets by adding a pleat and a flap. As a guide, I used the pocket pieces from View A.Omitted belt loops (carriers).Topstitched collar.Even though after completing this dress, I wish I had used the long-sleeve version of McCall's 4769, because (1) the bodice and the skirt are cut separately and I could have made the bodice in one size without a FBA and the skirt in one size larger. And also (2) the skirt in that pattern is cut on an A-line which would have captured the look of my inspiration dress more. Overall, I like this dress and I do plan on wearing it. I will probably accessorize it with a wider belt for more of a cinched waist. This was a very easy pattern to follow since this was a Threads Magazine Collection pattern and they are known for their "Step by step to sewing success!" instrustuctions. Will I sew this one again? Probably so, I'm already thinking of doing Version A in corduroy.
