labels art handcrafted local oregon pdx gold dust portland rustic shop vintage monday april 25 2016 little dress oh hello there life has been busy just being life days roll on flowers bloom and i get caught up in the nature of living every once in a while i take a moment and dust off the sewing machine and get reacquainted in this case a little dress for one of my little friends made from a bit of vintage fabric i ve been hording for quite some time i was inspired by the riot of blooms popping up everywhere here in the pnw happy spring i added a vintage doily for a pocket this is one of my favorite little girl dress patterns i have re traced and adjusted it so many times that i can t remember the original pattern i started with when pony girl was about 3 years old i made it many times and it never disappoints i love this version in this treasured fabric of course one must add a vintage button to finish it off it really is one of my favorite things you know sewing for littles makes me happy indeed not to mention that this dress is going to be worn by one of the sweetest littles around what is one of your favorites things to make posted by lola nova at 11 51 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels dress sewing sewing for kids spring vintage friday march 4 2016 sewing mojo i don t want to get too excited but i do think that i may have found my sewing mojo again at least i certainly hope so yesterday i made up my mind to reacquaint myself with sadie sewing machine and get to it i went through a stack of patterns and settled on tina givens dresdon pant all of her designs are over sized and this was no exception think a modern version of harem pants while a fairly simple pattern there are some interesting fiddly bits that kept my attention i love the pleated and cuffed hem i added little tabs of vintage tea dyed lace to the cuffs for fun it has inset pockets and side panels that run the length of the pant leg i m happy with the end result and they are super comfy i wouldn t wear them with just a tee but they look good with more over sized layers still i think if i were to make them again i would make some changes i would shorten the crotch seam as it s too low for my taste and comfort i might also narrow the leg a bit and try a capris length version you could easily play around with the side panels even doing them in a different fabric they look great paired with the tessuti lily dress i made some time ago now i m ready to make more oh yes let s get stitching posted by lola nova at 10 35 am 3 comments

hello sunshine i m still trying to get back into the swing of things blogging is a habit that i have let fall to the wayside so baby steps it has been a bit of a gloomy winter but for the past couple of days the sun has come out to play there are signs of life everywhere flowers are popping up and perfuming the air purple and green carpets under still leafless trees and hellebore showing off their early blooms it s invigorating and energizing to see the natural world waking up are there signs of life where you are i m off to enjoy the sun while it lasts see you soon posted by lola nova at 10 56

happens and time slips by it s been a long wet winter so far but the crocus and daffodils are popping up to give a bit of cheer while i was away from this space someone new joined our clan meet banjo the newest member of the family he is a sweet 3 year old australian shepherd mix he is a rescue dog that came all the way from texas now he s in his forever home and we love him quite a lot there is one member of the family who is not impressed the buddha cat is being a bit cranky about the whole business which is understandable since he has had the run of the household for a good many years progress is being made on the cat vs dog front but there is still some way to go pony girl is over the moon nothing like a girl and her dog i have also taken a little break from the sewing studio lately i ve been faffing about with other things and making in different ways i do think though that i m ready to get back to stitching what shall i make what have you been up to my friends posted by lola nova at 9 09 am 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels banjo dog family pony girl winter monday november 23 2015 wearing handmade finally here is the finished version of my cascade dress for grown ups after the pattern was sewn up i died the entire garment using a natural dye method with black beans i then added vintage lace details also naturally dyed i still think there are a few changes i d like to make down the road if i continue making the pattern however i am quite pleased with the final result a lot of time and love went into this dress it has a comfy playfulness to it and wearing it makes me feel young at heart after working on my cascade dress i decided i needed a break from the drafting and turned to a published pattern for my next project i chose the peplone jacket pattern by tina givens i had found this beautiful deep amethyst linen rayon blend at my local fabric shop and just knew it would make quite a statement so it did i loved working with this fabric and may have to hunt down some more i used some organic cotton scraps i had for the pockets and sleeve trim and a fantastic big vintage button i got from my mom some years ago this worked up wonderfully it s a very full fit coat like garment reminiscent of the turn of the century boho movement to be accessorized with a languid pose and an artistic flair i love it truly i can t help but feel decadent and creative whilst wearing it i can see that my promise to sew more for myself is taking some interesting turns and i m really enjoying it have you made anything lately see you after the holiday be well posted by lola nova at 3 17 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels dress making lola nova original pattern drafting sewing tina givens wear handmade wednesday november 4 2015 vintage color ooh it s getting cold and rainy round these parts this morning i couldn t quite shake a chill and toyed with the idea of starting a fire in the wood stove i didn t but i can see that the season s first fire is not long off how s the season treating you where you are i wonder yesterday i spent the morning visiting a friend in the hospital and got home just in time to put on a dye pot it was an easy dye as i was using the water from soaking black beans this dye pot does not need heat so it s a bit less intensive however i was dyeing the cascade dress from my last post and it was rather a lot more fabric than i have dyed at any one time i learned that i am going to need one of those super duper giant enamel canning pots if i intend to dye whole dresses on the regular i also threw in a few vintage lace and doily bits before i sunk my dress into the murky depths of the black bean dye pot i did a few experiments with modifiers on it s own black bean water can produce purple purplish grays blues and the like adding an iron modifier creates a really lovely blue gray more sombre in tone or if left to soak for a longer time it would produce a dark gray vinegar depending on the length of soak can produce a light fuchsia pink or a brighter purple using soda ash as a modifier will create a really pretty vintage cream color i am sure the variations would continue using other modifiers such as copper etc but i ll have to experiment with that at another time in the picture above you ll see some of the variations from the black bean dye pots and some from an earlier dye day using madder i love looking at the pieces especially the vintage bits i continue to be enthralled with the process of natural dyeing and all of the variations that can happen it is an ancient process and as with many old ways it takes time it s slow color always changing as the seasons change and fresh dyeing ingredients are less available i ll learn to adapt and work with what is at hand not to mention that with the cold moving in those steaming dye pots will be far more welcome than in the heat of summer i started my natural dyeing journey earlier this year and i can see that there is such a very long way to go yet to learn all the things i desire to i m ok with that in fact i look forward to many years of learning and travelling along this journey posted by lola nova at 11 38 am 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels food dyes natural dyes plant
