Sunshine Inspires Creativity

This weekend the sun came out and it was so beautiful. It felt wonderful to walk outside in a dress without a coat. People were playing and napping out on Memorial Glade, enjoying the warm weather with their dogs and children.
I went to a fabric store in Berkeley on Saturday with my roommates. It was such a treat to walk into Stonemountain and Daughter Fabrics. They had an overwhelming amount of cotton prints and fun buttons. I bought a pattern for a simple nightgown which I cut out that night and sewed the next day. I used a groovy pink and white silk cotton blend and matching pink lace. It turned out great. I am going to make another one for my roommate soon.
They had some beautiful  Vintage Vogue Patterns that I am so eager to make. They have some beautiful retro style dresses, skirts, and blouses. I also found a free pattern for bloomers online that I want to try.
