Where is my Joanne's fabric

So jealous that Assorted Notions was able to snag 10 patters for $10 at her local Joanne's

even though the patterns would probably sit in my room for months on end.

And Cynthia Rowley has patterns?
And project runway?
Where have I been?

Something like a free dress pattern.

btw i'm working on the tag...

sigerson morrison and shift dress

So here are boots that I hope will go with my soon to be made shift dresses.
I got these shoes at Loehmann's the other day (ok, like a month ago).
They're sigerson Morrison.
And as I've been writing, short boots are awesome.
However, they are difficult to pull off and cannot work with every outfit.
Like these, I can't tuck them under my boot cut pants because of all the leather above the actual shoe part of the boot.

I've decided that you've got to have ankle hugging pants - like leggings.

So... I want to make some (like a million in a million different colors) that look like this (yeah, if I post the picture enough, maybe I will finally make one):

shift dress patterns

Sometimes I wish I had a uniform.

These are days when I don't want to think about clothes and I just want to get on with my day.
I wish I had 5 colors of the same kind of outfit and I just wore them interchangeably.

In a way there are set outfits that I wear all the time that become somewhat like a uniform.
long cardigan, skinny jeans & flats or boots.

These days I want to introduce another type of uniform to my wardrobe:
Shift dress, tights and short boots.

I tried looking for simple shift dress patterns on burda, but I think that it's so simple that it's not there. Therefore, I bought some shift dress patterns that I like and will change the neckline for.
These are them:


Now all I have to do is post about the next step.... making them!

I got these at SelmaLee's store on etsy. I realized she has the best bang for the buck after searching for a pattern in my size. Some people charge $10 for when similar patterns go for $7 at other stores. I'm not gonna lie, it took me a while to find a pattern in my size that I liked.

Burdastyle for eva

when i'm bored i search for people who make fashionable things for themselves.
one day i hope to be one of these people.

one place i love to go to is burdastyle.com
they have free patterns.
the catch?
the patterns are kind of hard and i haven't really gone past printing them.

the member that most inspires me is: maryy

i think the double "y" is so that people who know her username make the extra effort by remembering the extra "y" -- i do that sometimes -- we are SO alike.
OR
she's finnish and that's how they spell it.
anyone finnish?

alright. i'm done. that's all.
