sweet autumn blues

As I shared with you guys earlier this month, I was recently asked by Maria of Adelaide's Homesewn to model a few of her store pieces. This is the second installment.. and I've definitely saved the best for last.

This time around, I modeled a navy 1970s floral dress, high waisted corduroy culottes, a 1930s striped watermelon dress, and my all-time favorite - a chambray dress with lace trim at the neckline. When I spied that robin's egg blue dress in Maria's shop, I knew it would be the best.. chambray with eyelet lace and a full skirt? It's hanging in my sewing nook as we speak, looking perfect.

pleated drop waist dresses, peter pan collars, and striped rompers

When lovely Maria of Adelaide's Homesewn asked me to model some pretty items in her shop, I jumped on the chance. Her Etsy shop has been a favorite of mine for some time, so why not try out some of her great things for free?

Here is the first batch of pieces she sent me.. the polka dots and stripes dress and a sweet berry pickin dress with peter pan collar are both in her shop, and the pleated drop waist dress and striped romper should be added soon!

I have to apologize for the lack of Sewing Saturdays recently.. it's been nearly a month since I posted one! Suck. I guess I can blame it on the chaos that's been our house and our life in general lately. But this past week, things began to slow down and I finally had time to unpack my sewing supplies and put them in their proper places.. which means I can have a Sewing Saturday ready for you for next week! I'm planning on making it rock, too. What would you like the next Sewing Saturday to be about?

It's Saturday! I'm headed to work at American Apparel for the afternoon, then I'm walking over to Robert's Western World with some super awesome girls for dancing and rum and coke (ONE rum and coke - I have the alcohol tolerance of a small animal). Happy weekend!
