Here are some more of the patterns from Decades of Style that I want to make.

Decades of Style

Here is my new sewing project! The pattern company is called Decades of Style and has so many adorable vintage patterns that I want to make. I picked out a very 1960's Alexander Henry fabric and some sweet blue buttons. I am making one for my roommate first. I will post pictures as soon as I finish the project!

Pinterest!

My roommate recently introduced me to Pinterest. It as a website where you can create inspiration boards out of images you find on the internet. It is very fun and I am having a great time playing around with it!

Cute as a Button.

Last night I has some fun with fabric yo-yos and made a necklace out of them using various small pieces of fabric and buttons. I strung them together with thread and then attached some thin yarn (due to lack of embroidery floss) to either side. I love the way it turned out and can't wait to wear it with a simple black dress.

Mad Women

Lately I have been quite obsessed with the show Mad Men. The whole styling of the show is beautiful, from the furniture to the clothing to the cars to the parties.  Being a fan of 1960's clothing, I absolutely love the outfits that Betty Draper and Joan wear. They always look so put together with the perfect hair, lipstick, shoes and bags. I have been looking at 1960 fashion magazine covers too, just for fun. How fun it would have been to dress in those days!
