The Cleo

This is the latest item I've sewn...a pinafore dress. Guys, I never knew how this is such an awesome all-season and comfortable piece to have. I will be definitely making more! (I've already worn this three days in a row...somebody stop me!).

pinafore dress sewn using the Cleo pattern from Tilly and the Buttons,  sweater from Winners, no-name leggings, Joe's Jeans booties






In progress (FYI: fabric I used is stretch denim):

Are you guys a fan of the pinafore/dungaree dress?

I guess the pinafore dress works so well because it can so easily be layered over other items. Really an every season piece. Great job on it!

What an adorable dress Emmy! I had one with very similar details that I just wore to death when I was in middle school. Love how your little photo bomber decided to join you for these cute pics. I'm shivering just looking at you two ;p I seriously cannot wait for winter to be over LOL

That is a beautiful dress and the pinafore style is a classic design for a dress and I like that you used stretch denim to make it. Beautiful pictures and your daughter is so adorable. Have a great Week.

I see your Prime Minister is in DC right now. I feel bad for him. I know acting nice around President Cheeto must not be easy

I need a pinafore dress. I can’t believe you made this yourself. I have dreams of sewing matching outfits for my kids one day. I figure I have plenty of time since I don’t have any kids right now lol. Your daughter is adorable.

I've always been a fan of pinafore dresses. They are the cutest and you can pair it with so many tops Emmy. I love the one you made. Denim is so practical. Looks very cute on you. I love your daughter to pieces. She is just too cute. Look at her posing :D

 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.)
