My new up-coming projects....

Project A
Trench Coat ala "Burberry"

Ever since I saw the original Burberry's trenchcoat at Galleries Lafayette in Paris (retailing at EUR 950), I have been wanting to own a proper trench coat which would take me to countries in Spring and Autumn. Navy blue being my favourite colour, my trench coat shall be navy blue!

I'll be using McCall's M5525 view D but with sleeves from view E to achieve the Burberry's look.

My fabric choice is from my regular online fabric website - Gorgeous Fabrics and this is the fabric I chose!

Project B
True blood's Queen of Louisiana dress

This is a screenshot of the Vampire Queen of Louisiana in True Blood. I just love this 1950's wrap dress. The underside is actually lined red! The three quarter sleeves and the gloves are just amazing!

In order to have an accurate replica of the above 1950's wrap dress, below is my latest Etsy purchase.

I might have to do some minor adjustments as this is definitely not in my size. Hopefully the project will be successful. Now I have to think of where to wear my Queen dress to.... lol...

Project C
Swing Dress Sewalong

Casey from Casey's Elegant Musing has launched her swing dress sew along. I love dresses from the 1940's hence I'll be embarking on this sew along as well. I'll be behind time but pics will be up once it is done.

Cheers!
