1970's dress alteration

 I decided that I loved the sleeves on this dress too much to pass it up at Salvation Army a couple of weeks ago. However, something needed to be done about the length, so I hemmed it today. I just used a roll hem after I leveled it on my dress form and then stitched it on up! I didn't mean for it to turn out this short on me.... but I think it still works! What do you think of the before and after? XO!

new bow tie en route & a peek at my new studio!

Here is a peek at the fabric I am making my newest bow tie with and the trimming I am using on the edges! My mom had a HUGE bucket full of fabric she kept yelling at me to sort through over the break.. and this fabric was one of those in her bin! <3

Here is a tiny peek at my new studio! Since moving I have felt a weight has been lifted and I enjoy life so much more now. One of the simple pleasures of my life right now is that I get to use an empty bedroom in my house as a studio!

It's a lovely Tuesday so far..

love, polly ;D
