8 wiksten tank and a few updates.

3.20.2013

I made myself a Wiksten tank this week! I had to justify the massive amounts of voile headed my way from Sew, Mama, Sew's $6 sale by saying I was going to make some new shirts for myself, so I made this as a wearable muslin from some thrifted fabric I had found last week.

World's worst picture of myself, sorry!  Was trying to take this fast this afternoon and my dog was jumping at my feet the entire time.  He's high maintenance.  This tank fits nicely with my jeans-tank-sweater uniform!  I feel like I wear the same thing every day.

I wish I knew what this fabric is.  It's woven and pretty flowy/silky like voile, but I don't think it's voile!  It was an awesome find though for $2 for 2.5 yards.

In other news, I've updated my blog design again.  Still a work in progress but I think I like it!

I also finally was able to buy bijoulovely.com!  So both bijoulovely.com and bijoulovelydesigns.com will lead you here now.  I've been trying to do that for about 3 years now, glad the squatters finally gave up :)  And my twitter name now matches my instagram name: @bijoulovely.  Victory on all counts this week with branding!

  2. Thrift store fabric finds are the best! I have found some really great backings for quilts at our local thrift store.
