Birthday Bow Tie and Sunday Lately Week 59

This Bow Tie Tutorial by Grainline popped up in my blog feed earlier this week, and I just had to make a Birthday Bow Tie for my fiancĂ©! He picked the fabric from my stash, and it turned out sooo pretty! As you can see, he's not afraid of wearing bright colors!


I might just have to put bows on everything I sew this year. 

Here's this weeks Sunday Lately inspired by Blogger Tribe:

- Updating - :: My wardrobe. I've got all the new clothes, but I want to go through my existing wardrobe and check what really fits me and what needs to go. I'm not sure where to find the inspiration to do this, but I'm thinking a bottle of wine and my sister.


- Remembering - :: When my fiancĂ© and I started dating. It was his birthday this week and that made me feel surprisingly nostalgic. My birthday is only one month later though, so maybe it's the biological clock of doom that I'm hearing. 

- Needing - :: To keep all my ducks in a row just a little longer. Isn't it funny how we try to bargain with the forces in our life? "Please let me graduate in time, then everything will be so much better!" Except that it won't be. But a girl can dream.




- Wearing - :: Hopefully some new clothes out with my girlfriends this week. A drink in a bar with dear friends seems like pure heaven to me right now.

- Being - :: Reunited with my sewing machine. My Mom and I have joint custody of the sewing machine and serger, and the sewing machine came back home to me again, yay!


It's Sunday night in my part of the world now, so hope you all have a wonderful beginning to the next week!

  2. LOL! I love it that you and your mom share - maybe ask for a fancy new one for your birthday?! I would love for my mom to sew with me! She tried learning years ago when we were little but never caught the bug like I did!
