All about that drape

This is the latest apparel I've sewed. I can honestly say I've never had anything like this is my wardrobe before, which has made this an instant favourite. Definitely something that sparks joy:)

Pattern: Vogue  by Lynn Mizono V1410
V1410 dress worn with Saks 5th ribbed turtleneck, no-name leggings, Timberland boots


The best thing about this dress: there are three lengths you can choose from. Here I am wearing it full-length...pretty cool, eh?

What a seriously cool dress Emmy and talk about versatile with the choose your length options! Congratulations on your PatternReview feature. The interview was fab! Didn't know about your law and finance background. Those just seem too stodgy for you. You were definitely meant for something more creative ;p

Wow! This is so creative and such a beautiful plaid dress too. Congratulations on your feature and interview in Pattern Review. I read the whole article and it was fun knowing more about you and your sewing journey. I also liked all those sewing books you recommended as I'm thinking of learning how to sew too.

Have a great Weekend.

Emmy, when I read your title, I thought it read All About That DRAKE! LMFAOOOO I was like, SHE MET DRAKE! You know how I felt when I saw Jason Momoa. I LOVE your dress! And it bustles too! You're getting too fancy for me. The print is cool and I love the colors. I also love the heather grey turtleneck under it. You look so pretty Emmy. Now what is about all these SECRETS you've been keep from us? LAWYER. MAKEUP ARTIST. You are a woman of many talents Mrs. Emmmy! I love that you put family first and have no regrets. That is the way it should be. It was a beautiful interview and you have accomplished so much. You should be proud. I'm very proud of you!

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
