Wednesday Work in Progress - Picture Perfect

This is what I worked on…and finished today --

1956 Filter

The original photo was taken in 1956, in black & white!  I added color with Prisma colored pencils to an enlarged photocopy.   I found the 4" x 6" frame at Hobby Lobby.   I think my Mom will be thrilled - she has always carried this same picture in her wallet.   

Here's a link to how I did it - http://thehouseofkent.blogspot.com/2014/03/wednesday-work-in-progress-wintergreend.html

Wednesday Work In Progress

Way Back Wednesday - Simplicity 9544

Simplicity 9544

I LOVED this pattern!! 

Picture if you will, the Fall of 1971 - 7th grade Hoover Drive Junior High School. 

Otherwise known as Hell on Earth.   (Gah.  At least I thought I was sew cool.)  

A Mom and Dad-approved way to be able to wear 1) a mini dress, 2) hot pants. 

Picture, too, how cool these boots would still be today!  

I made this twice.  And yes, one of them with the rick-rack.  

(I even put it down the center…and in hot pink!)  

Let's bring back rick-rack.  Rick-rack, like frosting, makes everything better.

(Perhaps not so much being in 7th grade, but I think I got an A for effort, and in rick-rack application)
