LOTR Violin Medley

I am posting this partly because of the costume, but mostly because it is lovely to listen to.  

I just discovered Lindsey Stirling today and I love her already :)

1st Summer Project :)

As school was ending last month, some girls from my class and I decided we would have a friendly summer sewing competition.  We each created a list of things we had to finish before we returned to school in the fall, and whomever actually finished the entire list won.

I love the 50's retro style and so as my first wardrobe item, I am designing and sewing a shirt dress with a ¾ circle skirt.

I bought a poly/satin charmeuse polka dot fabric for the dress and I plan to cut it out today :)

I drew some inspiration from the dress Diana Lane wore at the end of the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun"  

I will be posting updates soon, so check back often :)

Ciao :)
