My happy sewing place...: My Marlene Suit
http://www.myhappysewingplace.com/2012/04/my-marlene-suit.html
The 1940 McCall Project. Saturday, April 7, 2012. This is my best Marlene Dietrich pose. Though nobody makes looking serious and stern look as glamorous as Marlene:. Photo from a great Quality Time. Post on vintage trousers. I shared a couple of weeks ago that I've been inspired to make up a suit inspired by Marlene Dietrich for the Sew Cinematic challenge. The jacket from this outfit was made using McCall 3260 from 1939 blogged about here. I think I might have enough leftover to make a matching skirt!

Pattern Review: HP 1016 Riviera Hello, Sailor! Pants | Miss Celie's Pants
https://missceliespants.com/2012/05/23/pattern-review-hp-1016-riviera-hello-sailor-pants
Get me outta here! Miss Celie's Pants. I sew I cook. I travel. But, I do not clean. Pattern Review: HP 1016 Riviera Hello, Sailor! May 23, 2012. Guys I think I’ve found my holy grail pants. For *real*. I’ve wanted a pair of sailor pants forever. Seriously. At least 10 years. When I made my big Hot Patterns purchase two years ago, this pattern was the first I put in my cart. I even muslined it a few years ago, liked the fit, but just never got around to sewing it. I cut a size 12 and these fit nicely.

Eat the Damn Cake » please stop telling me that marriage is really, really hard
http://www.eatthedamncake.com/2012/10/03/please-stop-telling-me-that-marriage-is-really-really-hard
Eat the Damn Cake. Please stop telling me that marriage is really, really hard. For some reason, all I want to do is watch documentaries about relationships. I’d probably read those books with titles like The Three Love Type. But when you get there it’s just some awkward scientist feeding a couple of confused-looking monkeys. I got married without reading up too much on the whole thing. We should have given it more timeWe didn’t even know each other when we got married. Disembodied voice of documentarian.

Reflections on style, beauty, and fighting frump over 40. About Anne @ The Frump Factor. Newer posts →. December 22, 2011. Anne @ The Frump Factor. Back then, we shared various social events — movies, dinners out, parties — with one or both of these friends. One of the two even attended our wedding, with her 10-year old daughter (who, I’m shocked to realize, is now older than we were). We were also frequent guests in her home, enjoying the happy chaos of her family’s life. Older, maybe, but exactly like ...

Reflections on style, beauty, and fighting frump over 40. About Anne @ The Frump Factor. July 15, 2012. Anne @ The Frump Factor. If you’ve ever experienced the phenomenon of watching multiple TVs at once, you know how disorienting it can be. Fox News. Each furiously spinning its own view of reality until our heads threaten to explode! And no workout towel can take care of that mess, I assure you. Now, as fascinating as that was, today was even better. Today, Cindy Crawford shared her equally transfor...

Shopping with Mom | The Frump Factor
https://frumpfactor.wordpress.com/2012/06/11/shopping-with-mom
Reflections on style, beauty, and fighting frump over 40. About Anne @ The Frump Factor. Once in a lifetime. June 11, 2012. Anne @ The Frump Factor. I recently returned from a visit to the Frump Factor ancestral home. It was here that I endured junior high school, an endless sequence of bad haircuts, and culottes. So let’s just say the style legacy I left behind is not one of greatness. We’ve come a long way since the good old days, when I would whine, “Moooom! 8221; every time she opened my dressing roo...
