The button down tunic

This is the latest sewing project I've finised: a shirt dress/tunic. For those who've been reading my blog for awhile, you know my obsession with the Olsen twins, and this tunic reminds me of something they would wear.

Pattern is McCalls7472

The finished tunic

(I ran out of the black buttons so used red ones instead for the pocket flaps and I quite like the contrast.)
Please excuse the wrinkles. Took this pic after I tried it on:D

with the sleeves folded in
 Love that there are the sleeve tabs so you can wear this with 3/4 sleeves.

Super! I love to team up dresses with sneakers too. And I like the addition of coloured buttons.

Cute pattern! I love the look of tunics but I tend to stay away because I'm afraid they might make me look short.

Oh I totally see the Olsen twin connection with this tunic. I have a "you got it, dude" t-shirt that's so long, I could probably turn it into a tunic.

Love that shirt and I definitely feel like this is Olsen approved. Oh man, speaking of which I miss those days of them being "it" girls. Maybe I'm just getting old but I feel like celeb fashion was at its pinnacle back then no?!

 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.)
