Pumpkin and Plums, were the inspiration for my Clara. I had this beautiful crocheted scarf the exact color of the linen from https://fabrics-store.com and my plum turtleneck. I made it oversized so it would drape dramatically. I also omitted the frill on the back, I used a couple of rows gathering threads and 3” x 1.2” tab fastened down with vintage buttons. It’s shown in the picture attached. The color is truer in the closeup of the back. I want to wear jeans and booties when it’s cool enough to coffee with the girls on the Riverwalk in Jenks.

I finally put the frogs on my Lotus Shirt in this elegant Oriental Satin in fiery orange red and black. I’ve paired it with Elope pants lengthened to the ankle in Vintage black Peau de Soie. I have had the pants fabric in my stash for probably 25 years and it came from a lady who did weddings, and no telling how long she had it.She left me her fabric stash in her will. It’s the real real deal and in excellent condition to last this long. I’ve kept it in a pillow case to keep it from rotting. I’ve saved it and the black satin and another piece of beaded ivory satin for something special. I added my grandmother’s vintage jet jewelry to make a truly fabulous outfit.

been MIA of late building dollhouses and sculpting. I did sew my first day of Fall dress, the Kelli in sheer burned out velvet in this plum floral, topstitched in pink love the shirring on the sides. I did change the collar the fabric is to floppy for a crisp collar. My second dress from this pattern. I have also sewn this design in linen. The weather here in Florida has finally cooled off but only in the morning. I'll take it since it has been over a 100 degrees all Summer. Looking forward to new patterns from TG this Winter.
