Vintage Shirt - Inspiration

Hi everyone, hope everything is fine!
Today I had a devastating day: my very first exam in spanish...Gosh, 80 question in just 1 hour!!Even my spanish classmates complaint to the professor...but we all new otorinolaringologists are quite deaf...

Well, reaching the point, I am searching some inspiration for my next next project...a vintage shirt, made with a very vintage fabric!! I bought it on this shop, from this amazing girl, Suzannah, who writes on this blog: she creates wanderful things!!She is so skilled and talented!!

It's so cute, isn't it??

By the way, what do you think of these shirts??
This is the Alexander blouse from Burda Style.

And here is the JJ blouse, always by Burda Style.

And this a JJ shirt made from a Burda Style member: the Rockabilly JJ. I love it!!

 

Mmh, difficult choice!!
I think I will make one the moment I will start the project...I'm quite sure the inspiration will come alone... :)

See you soon, I'll post pictures of my ended work!!....finally.....

Fabric Connection - Mon(day)Review

Ok, I have talked about patterns, now it's time to move on to the second step: fabric!!

I have checked so much on the interent, founding few very good fabric shop...I told about ATMLABEL last week, now it's the turn of Fabric Connection!! It's on Etsy, and I really recomend to purchase there!

I bought the black scalloped hem lace and the vintage cluny lace (look here). The owner is really kind and helpful!

Well, enjoy this shop!! :)

Fabric Fabric Fabric

And finally all the fabric I bought on internet has arrived!!

Here are the pics:

Shopaholic!!

I'm going mad...but in a really bad way...I think I have bacame shopaholic!!
Look, in this month I bought 12 vintage patterns, 9 metres of fabric and a sewing machine! Well, I think I can determine by myself the diagnose... :)

But, how can I stop myself? I really felt in love with vintage patterns, with sewing and everything sorround this beautiful hobby.

Here is the fabric I bought yesterday on ATMLABEL ( I told you soon or later I would have purchased something on that web-shop...), for €3.70/mt (I bought 2 mts). It's 65% cotton and 35% polyester and I think it really worths the price. And I will receive it in 5 days (normally would have been 3 days, but we have to count the weekend).

On Etsy (I love this website!!) I bought 3 yards of black scalloped lace at only $2.00/yard.

Why did I bought these fabric? Here it is the reason: I want to sew this dress for the Last Year Eve... Have you recognized the dress? It's the one of Marc Jacob Blair Waldorf wore in the pilot episode of Gossip Girl. I-L-O-V-E-I-T!!
I know, it would be different, but it would be mine!!

 Last, I bought these two patterns, from filecutter and vintage sewing notions (zippers, buttons...).

See you soon,
from your shopaholic! :)

Unbelievable

Ok, how many kilometers we have between Texas and Spain? I don't know for certain, but for sure thousands, no? Well, the last patterns I bought on Filcutter shop were shipped so fast they arrived today!! I bought them on the 29th sept, and in just a week they arrived!! Thinking I'm still waiting for patterns I bought on the 20th of sept...

One other thing quite unbelievable is about a website I found, ATMLABEL, a very cheap fabric shop! I have read few reviews and it was written they really recommend to buy on this website, although the quality is not one of the best (but we know quality is something subjective...). I think I will buy metres and metres of fabric (wool, I really want wollen fabric).

What do you think of this wool? Isn't it so similar to the one of the Lindsey cape?

It's only €5.50/mt!!

(60% wool, 40% polyamide)

This is acetate taffeta lining in burgundy.

€2.20/mt

Viscose stretch jersey with pattern (really 70's!!)

€4.50/mt

Cotton shirt gingham in purple

100% cotton, on both sides chequered.

€5.00/mt







Well, in the future I will purchase on this shop, trust me!! :)
