Mirvana's Amazing Adventures

" Mad Men " -inspired dress

Mad Men + USMSC...and here it is:

 

Made from this pattern:

Why the digital camo fabric you might ask? WHY NOT?

And the black velcro patches on the front and sleeves are for morale patches. Stef suggests that I wear boots and duty belt with it, but I want to go the other direction - pumps and a frilly hat...

A small cross body bag....

Made from recycled/vintage cargo pants.

Laptop cover - is just the beginning...

Fusible fleece is sandwiched between two layers of MultiCam fabric. Makes a nice laptop cover. The plan is to make a messenger bag to match, but I'm still thinking about exactly how I'm going to do that. I've been looking at this pattern (McCall's 5824):

But without doing the patchwork, of course.

DarkThreads Designs: USN Camo Kilt

Finished. This is what some call an "American"-style kilt, because it's not made of Tartan, but rather of a more utilitarian fabric, in this case USN digital camo twill. It features two attached, hanging cargo pockets, extra-wide belt loops, and a d-ring key keeper. The pleats are sewn in, so it's wash and wear. I'm happy with how it turned out. I just hope it fits the client.
