Dress.










 I've found this skirt in the thrift store the other day, too big for
me, and far too long, but I very much like the print - remind
me a bit of Sonia Delaunay's designs - so,
my plan is to make a dress of it, quite simple, with shoulder straps;
at least there's enough material.

???
























 Went to see this movie, thrilling!
Good night & Sweet dreams :^)

    did you see Take Shelter - amazing film, right? oddly enough, it makes me long for a good old fashion summertime storm which we don't seem to get here in northern California.

    to nicomade:Yes, I saw TS, it's an incredible good movie!
    The storms in Belgium are really not comparable to those in the States, but as a child I liked to watch the lightnings at night, and I still do.

    that skirt looks very nice, good idea to make a dress out of it.
    i often buy textiles i like, old sheets or pillow covers, then i plan what to make out of them, a little blouse or a skirt or what..? but most of the time they just stay as they are, maybe i like the prints too much to cut the textile;)

    That is a gorgeous fabric in the skirt, Renilde! Great buy. Can't wait to see the dress you make :) Thanks for movie tip too. We get massive storms and cyclones here too... they can be incredibly frightening ;) Kx
