Cascading Ruffle Skirt and Bell Sleeve Top



I decided a matching top with Bell Sleeves was needed to complete the look I was trying to achieve.  I used my favorite Kwiksew dress pattern #3560 and shortened the length for a top.

Fur Vest




What a great, quick pattern!  McCalls 7257 was really straight forward and easy to sew.  I purchased my fur at the Fabric Warehouse in Spencer, Iowa.  The lining was something I had in my very large fabric stash.

Bomber Jacket

I have made 2 bomber jackets using a vintage sewing pattern, McCalls 7203.  The blue jacket was made with a mystery fabric that feels a lot like suba knit.  It is very warm and stitched up nicely.  The  red jacket is made out of a faux leather.  It is very soft and also easy to sew.  I purchased the blue fabric at the Fabric Warehouse in Spencer, Iowa and the red fabric was purchased at the local Ben Franklin Store.  This is a fabulous pattern that goes together very quickly.
