Yesterday I went buying the fabric; I had a million ideas - I imagined to purchase a bold colored fabric or something like tweed - and then when I arrived to the store and I had to choose I was so nervous I forgot everything and I came home with something totally classic. It's beautiful though and for a first try it's more than ok!
Lately I am so excited for these sewing lessons that sometimes I find myself thinking I'll soon be able to create and reproduce every skirt, dress and top I see and love...I'm totally crazy and irrealistic, I know! By the way these days I constantly make plans and sketches of what I will wear when (and most of all, if) I will become I decent seamstress.
Just a couple days ago I stumbled upon an almost new Flickr group which is a new version of all the what-I-wore-today groups, cause this ones is for drawings only!
Founded by Gemma Correll, a UK based illustrator, in just about one month the group counts more than 1000 members and pictures. There's even a blog where Gemma post her favorites.
And here are some of my favorites...

Such a fun post! These drawings are amazing!
It's so exciting that you've started a sewing course as well... I totally get what you're saying - I too keep thinking and dreaming about all the pretty dresses I plan to make, but I don't know if I'll ever be that good since we learn how to make clothes from patterns at my course. I don't know how I'd ever then manage to create my own designs...
WOW! This is fantastic! I have several friends I want to show this to right away!! Thanks for sharing it :)
Allora, hai cominciato il corso? Com'è? Siete in tanti?
Questi disegni sono favolosi... cambiano delle foto! Infatti io preferirei disegnare che fotografare i miei outfit, ma è più rapido fotografare...
What a clever idea! This is something I would get printed on say an 8by10 photo and get framed and I would hang up in a room in a house to give it a fashion feel!
PS) I think it's so great you know how to sew
@ Ariella: we make our own patterns starting from a series of standard designs...hopefully I could customize them a little!
@ L'armadio: ho iniziato martedì e nel mio orario siamo una decina. Abbiamo fatto il modello di una gonna base e martedì la realizzeremo concretamente...speriamo bene!!
@ Dina's Days: I actually just started a sewing course...will see what will happen then!!
I adore the whole concept of drawing WIWT. Good luck with your sewing course! I've been looking to get into one also.
what a great idea! all of these drawings are so cute!

oh, how inspiring! i want to take sewing lessons now. i'm gonna look into it! :)
Nice to have you back to the regular posting business. And what a return. This one of my all-time favourite posts of yours. :)
These are so fantastically fun! I wish I could draw more than mere stick figures, I would love to document what I wear through drawing. So inspirational!
Hope you have tons of fun with your new fabric, honey - and super lovely weekend!
Big hugs,
♥ Jessica
oggi sono andata al corso di cucito anch'io!ma in 1 lezione avete già imparato a fare il cartamodello della gonna? Io, in un anno ho finito oggi il modello su carta di un vestito e la prossima settimana inziamo a tagliare!
