More Eye Candy from the Files

I'm always grabbing images off the web to keep for reference.

Now my computer is complaining. So I'll have to print them off onto paper in order to uncrowd my image memory. So, here's a few goodies:










Certainly worth saving choicey bits of fabric, cording, beads, buttons, and frill-frall. Don't you think?

Eye Candy for those who Sew

Well, it's been a while since I posted on this blog.....life seems to intrude and other demands take the time from these things.....

I have been working on a project relating to my clay work (http://www.jeanetteharrisblog.blogspot.com).



I did run across a couple of photos from the web showing a beautiful coat made of denim. It reminded me of a Bog Coat with a modified front placket. I've made a few Bog Coats. They never go out of style and the pattern is so versatile.

They are a wonderful design if you have a very choicey piece of fabric, but not much of it. In a future post, I will publish some material on making Bog Coats, but for now, back to work.
