Waxed Canvas Serpentine Hat

In preparation for a few upcoming beach trips, I made myself a sunhat!

Charlie Caftan and Willow Wrap Belt = Ancient Greek Dress

My niece had a request for a sewing project: an ancient Greek dress. And you know I like to indulge her requests (see this velvet and sequined cloak and this harlequin dress based on one of her drawings.)

One of her more recent special interests is Greek mythology... I think her entry point was the musical Epic. At a recent family camping trip she regaled us with tales of the labors of Hercules and the journey of Odysseus. She's particularly fascinated by the concept of sirens. 

Wedding Wear: Pleat Top and Paris Palazzo Pants

Tim and I went to a black tie optional wedding in Boston a couple weekends ago. 

I don't own a gown and wasn't feeling inspired to make one, but I do have a stash of beautiful silks from my time living in Southeast Asia and some other random special occasion fabrics from various sources in my stash, so I decided to make do.

Alamain Pleat Top

I've had my eye on the Alamain Pleat Top for a while now and was very pumped when they expanded their size range recently so I could try it!
