We're Off to See the Wizard

Happy Halloween!

Yes, the costumes are hand-made. No, don't look for reviews. Yes, I am crazy. No, I didn't spend a fortune on fabric this year, mostly stash.

Fall Mini-Wardrobe

Orange you glad it's fall:

I promised you a mini-wardrobe using these great fabrics:

Well, here it is. (In bits and pieces.)

Dress (Butterick 5259) + Turtleneck (Vogue 7799)

Turtleneck + Black Pants (Butterick 5259)

Great Orange Coat (Vogue 1068)

Plus, I could do:

Black Pants + Orange Coat

Dress alone

Dress + Orange Coat

I'll be adding or updating reviews on PR this morning. As for old posts, these links take you to the coat, the lining, and the typo in the pattern.

Oh, remember when...

Strawberry Shortcake... Swatches... Big Bangs... Smurfs...

Tight-Rolled Jeans... Thriller... My Little Pony...

Jellies... NKTOB... Trapper Keepers... Side Ponytails...

Cabbage Patch Kids... Material Girls... Keds...

Oh, the 80's!

as you roll off your chair with laughter, scroll on at your own risk (or that of your computer keyboard)

1979-1984ish (the cute years)

1985-1989 (The awkward years)

Warning: Swallow the coffee, set it aside, and don't hurt yourself laughing...

I hope that if you see these pics, you enjoy them!


Thanks to Where are My Angels for hosting such a wonderfully fun, humiliating, look back.
