It was a Mad Men weekend
I wore my
Truffle muslin this weekend. I figured that it was appropriate since the fabric is from the 1960s (I think) and it was the premiere of the new season of Mad Men.
Frankie came out to run around while Luke was taking photos of me.
Kind of a close up. It's still hard to see the flounce, but it's there. After wearing the dress all day on Saturday I decided that I love it. It's comfortable, can be dressed up or down, and doesn't get too wrinkly. This is definitely going to be a summer wardrobe staple, I can't wait to finish my next dress, so I will have two from this pattern.
The next two projects I made over the weekend are not Mad Men related, but I wanted to post about them anyways. I made a little flannel blanket for my dog Frankie, but Stella the cat decided that she liked it.
The blanket was so quick and easy to complete, it took around fifteen minutes. It was fun using a decorative machine stitch for the edges. Those cool stitches don't get used enough.
My friend Shawntel came over on Saturday night and I embroidered this for her. It was my first time embroidering lettering and it was hard! I need to practice more.
My friend
Ariana came over on Sunday night to watch Mad Men with me. She supplied the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and I supplied
old fashioned drinks. I made them kind of strong, Ari kept joking that we were growing hair on our chest :) The episode was amazing, by the way. I am so happy that I added AMC to our Dish plan. Plus, it comes on at 6:00 because we have satellite!
After watching the episode and looking at the cover of Newsweek Magazine I had a great idea: why not make the
Licorice dress (an upcoming dress I am going to sew for
Sew Colette) look like Joan's dress? Do you see the similarities or is it just me? Yes, I think I will make my dress look like Joan's, thank you very much :)
Did any of you watch the episode last night? How hilarious is Sterling? Oh, I downloaded the song Megan sang (Zou Bisou, Bisou) on Itunes today. I'm a dork.
