Running Rain and Wind Jacket

Finally I made a jacket that is great wind and rain proof for running in the mornings!

 This is from a mcCall's pattern #7026.

 I Love the style lines on this pattern.

Natural Dyed Tee Block Printed Tee and Skirt

Fall - The most beautiful time of year!

A tee-shirt is dyed with cochineal and block printed.

  

I love doing this block printing!

 It's Apple season!

 The tee-shirt is organic cotton and hemp knit fabric.

 The skirt is a commercial dyed knit fabric.

Alameda Dress and Blue Corn Harvest

I love the style lines of this dress!

 The Alameda dress is a pattern by Pauline Alice http://www.paulinealicepatterns.com/alameda-dress

 It has princess seam bodice, wist-line belt, front pockets, and a flounce at the bottom of the skirt! All qualities that I love!

 I harvested my corn today and the colors of this dress are somewhat similar to the corn.

I used a light weight linen fabric and lined the dress with silk. 

 Every year I am AMAZED by the beauty of the corn!

 I lengthened the top part of the skirt about 8 inches! 

 It would have been a very short skirt which I plan to do on a different dress.

I am once again blessed with a beautiful harvest!!!!!!!!

Natural Dyed, Block Printed, Self Drafted, Clothes

Here are some clothes I drafted, dyed with natural dyes, and block printed.

 I love this open back on this shirt!

 I used cochineal dye.

 I made all of these cloths with organic cotton knit.

 This is dyed with sandalwood.

 With my peach tree behind full of peaches!

 More cochineal dye.

 This is dyed with cutch - the heartwood of the acacia tree.

 Again more cochineal dye.

 I love the way the dye makes movement!
