November inspiration

'm finding so many good tutorials on the internet today! Here is a really nice bow belt that would go perfectly with any dress!

November inspiration

Following the scalloped edge post from last week, I thought I would post this really cute skirt that I found on this website .

November • Simple dresses and princess seams

I've always been of the idea that the fabric is what MAKES THE DRESS. Now I have evidence of that. I came across these beautiful dresses just now, they are created by dora_s_mora and they are so cute! The pattern is simple, the fabrics are lovely...I can't wait to make one!

I really like the way the corset is made. Instead of having darts to shape it (and I am not a big fan of darts), I found a couple of good tutorials on how to create princess seams from darts. The first one is from the Burda website and the second one is from the rostitchery blog which is worth a visit!

November • inspiration and scalloped edges

I am absolutely in love with Vain and Vapid dresses!
Have a look at some of her creations here: www.etsy.com/people/VainandVapid/feedback
I love the colours and the simple lines. I wish I could create dresses like those!

Also, there is a very interesting tutorial on her website on how to create scalloped edges like the image above (taken from Vivat Veritas' Burda projects www.burdastyle.com/projects/scalloped-waist-marie). I love that skirt, it's so quirky! The pattern for the skirt is called Mary and it's free to download here www.burdastyle.com/patterns/marie while the tutorial for the scalloped edges is here http://vainandvapid.blogspot.com/2008/10/scalloped-edge-tutorial.html. It's on my 'to do' list.... is it on yours yet?
