more domestic goddess-ness

i need new socks, i think - short socks, because i have lots of knee socks but i do occasionally wear pants.. and more hats because sun exposure is bad for me. I do have that hat pattern but i need somewhere to put my sewing machine... maybe i'll fold the dining table fully out and get some more chairs? that sounds good.

my fabric and sewing shop has a lot of her patterns. SO CUTE.

does anyone have a good resource for sizing patterns up to fit those of us who are adorably curvy? (i have a book on patternmaking but i'm not sure it covers that.)

i also want to make her laptop bag.

off to the crepe place. i need to get out i think.

Coo, brilliant. I may gank that laptop-bag pattern, just because so many of the laptop cases destined for the subnotebook market are a bit wtf.

... Yeah, also need new socks. And other things. Hate shopping. Oh well.

Iconlove!

Oh my god, those patterns? SO cute.

I think it's mostly the fabric that makes them really cute, but still, SO cute.

I love the pleated-bodice apron!

The handbag of holding is made of win!

I now want to make one out of the silk I gave to [livejournal.com profile] spydielives, along with a matching corset. Mmmm...
