Sunday Sew Love: 5 April

First things first… check out that picture: “Kyla, it’s just the Easter morning sky” you say. Well, yes… but that right there is the Easter morning sky… unedited… with no annoying black dot in the middle of the picture! Hooray! I finally got a cleaning kit for my camera. $8 vs. hundreds… I’m so glad I didn’t send it in to get professionally cleaned. At least this time it worked… I shouldn’t gloat too much or next time it may not :) But at least for now, it’s starting out to be a great day. HAPPY EASTER by the way! I’m hoping for no rain so we can do our brunch festivities outdoors, but I’m pretty sure that’s not on the weatherman’s agenda. We shall see… So this week is all about the details… ogle with me, will you… (top/left) Offsquare Winter Blazer | (top/right) Thread Theory Comfiest Jeans (bottom/left) See Kate Sew Soho Blouse | (bottom/right) Sewn by Elizabeth Relaxed Plantain Until next time,

Hello Spring! March Stitch Fix (#10!)

Well hello there, Spring! I was so excited about this fix. We’re headed to a friend’s wedding later this month so I asked for a few dress options. While I didn’t end up keeping either of the dresses they sent, it was still a really fun way to try some on! BRIXON IVY Foster Halter Dress | $88 | Status: Sent back Dress numero uno! I loved it at first sight! The color is fun and it’s perfect to wear to a spring wedding, but it didn’t end up fitting very well. Too tight in some places, too loose in others. On someone else this would be super super cute. Sanctuary Analise Textured Dress | $68 | Status: Sent back I loved the hemline on this one and it gave me some great ideas for a sew-at-home dress (textured fabric, two layers of fabric overlain in the front, that hemline!)… very fun ideas :) … but the colors weren’t really working for me. It’s hard to tell in the first picture but it’s pink and red …
