Sewing Inspiration, Part 2

Okay, so I'm a day late! Yesterday was a madhouse...

A note about the blogs I enjoy most: I tend to have something in common with the blogger! I'll try to note those commonalities here.

On to my favorite apparel sewing inspirations:

A Dress A Day - I just love this one because it is fun. I can't imagine myself ever sewing vintage dresses, but I do love to sew dresses! (You should see my dress pattern stash.)

Creative Reveries - Stephanie makes really stylish, pretty clothes that I could see myself wearing (if I had her talent!). Also, she likes to run, which I have done in spurts, myself. In fact, I ran a marathon in 2003 (with Team in Training, check it out!). I am out of the habit right now, but I tend to come back to it every once in a while.

Erica B's D.I.Y. Style - Erica is a star among sewing bloggers. She makes truly beautiful clothes. Erica is a SAHM (which I will be on January 3, 2008!).

Laura's Sewing Room - Laura is an amazingly talented (and amazingly fast) sewist. I'm not sure we have much in common (besides a love of sewing) but I am always inspired there.

Miss Celie's Pants - I love the clever name of Cidell's blog and its inspiration. Cidell and I were born in the same year. Other than that we seem to be near opposites, but I really enjoy seeing Cidell's creations.

Stacy Sews - Stacy is prolific! She sews both apparel and crafty items and I am awed at her talent in both. She's also a mom, like me!

Thanks for indulging this whim of mine, and thanks, ladies, for your inspiration!

I finished my sister's birthday gift last night, so I'll try to post pics soon. That way we'll get back to our regularly scheduled programming.

You know the perfect way to compliment a gal! Thanks for the sweet comments. I cannot wait to see the gift you made for your sister.
