The Unflappable Miss Isabelle Flapper

I completely forgot about this week's Project Run & Play.

Considering I'm not really "in" it, I guess it wasn't a huge

surprise that it slipped my mind.

The challenge this week was to create an adult inspired outfit.

Given more time than (1) 2 hour nap,

I would have loved to make Isabelle a Coco Chanel suit

in this amazing pink tweed fabric that calls to me from my stash.

Alas, I had little time.

I've never made an outfit without a pattern.

Ever.

I can design quilts.

I can design all kinds of fabric sewing patterns.

Not clothes.

There is a disconnect in my brain.

Since a majority of women's clothes these days are more risque

than I'd like to put my toddler in, I decided to go vintage.

I created for Isabelle a 1920's flapperish dress.

I can't get her out of it.

In her mind I created an amazing success.

In my mind, this is a great "muslin" and when I have time

I will make her another more refined one.

That is probably the closest I'll come to "Project Runway"

and I did it sweat it out.

Thank goodness Tim Gunn is no where in sight!
