I might be a little obsessed. For someone who felt intimidated at the thought of and really didn’t think she would be interested in and/or have time to sew her own clothes; You must know how satisfying it is to sew something you can wear and then to top it off, in a fabric you designed. Nothing better. I’m sort of loving that my closet is getting filled with clothes I’ve made.

Locally Grown in dresses. Above is a pattern from a book called Simple Modern Sewing. Below is the Lulu Tunic from Alexia’s book Liberty Love, and the last is the Washi Dress from Made by Rae. Red shoes by TOMS and Salt Water Sandals.

cute, cute! I just read your book- loved it!
It's amazing to these on you! (And yay for Saltwater Sandals! I picked up a turquoise pair this summer.)
Wow. Love that. They are so cute and I love that you made them yourself. So crafty!
Love that flirty red Washi dress. I've just recently discovered your blog, so don't know you as well as some of your other readers. But the dress seems (to me) to match the energy that comes through the posts I've read so far on your blog.
