Just For Laughs

For that good laugh that we all need once in a while, have a look at these crazy fashion photos. Such innovation! Did you ever think of wearing a friend as a fashion statement? I don't know... it looks rather uncomfortable to me. Oh! I see bold stripes and see-through crochet dresses are still in style. (#6) Thank goodness for the classics, amiright? The left pic on #14 puts me in mind of Magritte. And there's a nice picnic dress on the last page! Most of this stuff though... I don't even know how to comment on it. Maybe some of you talented sewists and fashionistas will have more to say.

Make it Sew

I love this. (Found on Facebook)

OMG! X-Rated Fabric!

I am, by today's standards, the kind of person whom many people would consider a prude, but I am not without a sense of humor so I'm going to share something indecent and possibly shocking, but hopefully funny.

I also tend to be oblivious to a lot of things that make other people gasp and snicker so in spite of the text of this tweet I had to stare at the picture for a couple of minutes before I saw it. And now I can't un-see it. (Yes, I could put the picture here and save you the trouble of clicking but I'm not going to because I don't want it on my blog. Prude, remember?)

The scary thing about this is, if I had seen this pillow or the fabric in a store I might have thought "What a lovely blue and white floral," and bought it without realizing. Note to self: always examine complex prints carefully!

We're doing it all wrong, Darlings

A local quilt shop posted this image on their Facebook page.

What a difference between now and then, right? Maybe not as much as we think. Of all the women I've known who were around in 1949 (grandmother, aunts) I cannot think of one who would not have laughed at this as much as I did.
