After a much needed week of recovery from academia-induced fatigue, I am ready to rejoin the ranks of productive citizens. My first foray into summer-level productivity came in the form of some good old-fashioned sewing.
This is a little ditty I whipped up today; sort of the bastard child of a belt and a corset. The outer (“fashion fabric,” for all you corsetiers) is made from a set of Vera napkins I’ve been hoarding for years. The lining is the legs from a pair of jean cutoff shorts, and the bias binding came from a GIGANTIC box of sewing notions my mom scored at a tag sale years ago. I also happened to have one more separating zipper in my sewing mess drawer, so this project cost me ZERO BIG ONES. SCORE.
Admittedly, I wasn’t dressed this glamorously at my sewing machine. However, my usual sewing attire (various degrees of nudity, generally) probably isn’t fit for public consumption. Also, please to be enjoying the view of my shower. Again.
Outfit deets: sweater: gift from a friend, scarf + dress + necklace: salvation army, shoes: goodwill, stockings: chinese laundry, purchased at t.j. maxx
Random confirmation of vanity: It’s been really rainy/humid lately, and I LOVE how curly it makes my hair. SAY YES TO JEW-FRO.
Cora Rose, over and out.
