What I'm Wearing: Country Cozy

Hey guys. I am sorry I will not be saying a lot this blog post. My man's step-father is in the hospital with a blood clot in both lungs and two in his leg. They have him stabilized and doing better, but it was a scare for all of us. I spent some time in the hospital today, so if I look frazzled, that's why.  Hospitals give me the heebie-jeebies.

Now I am off to sew with my mom. I received a sewing machine for Christmas and did a little of my first machine sewing on Monday. I sew about as well as a two year old colors in the lines. Do any of you sew? Do you have any good tips for sewing straight?

  1. Oh, no! I hope he gets better soon! I'm dying for a sewing machine at the moment, so jealous :) I've just recently learned to sew also, so I'm not much better, but have fun and show us what you made :)

  6. I think you should start doing pictures before work. That way while we're talking all day I can picture what you're wearing {in a non-creepy way, which is the opposite of how that sounded}.

  11. Best wishes for your husband's step-father! I don't sew very well either, actually I suck pretty bad at it, so I can't give you any tips, lol. After a long day you still look great!

  12. Sorry to hear about your step-father-in-law. I feel the same way about hospitals, but you don't look frazzled at all!

    I think this dress is absolutely adorable (I love anything floral, really), and the ruffled cardi is so feminine and pretty!

  17. oh wow I love to sew :) been sewing since I was 11 and making straight line takes a bit of time , just try to prctice relaxing - like not holding or dragging the fabric too tight or too lose.

    Both of your tops today are amazing:)

  28. I got a sewing machine too for Christmas, and I still have to sit down to figure out how to wind the bobbins. Although, while I'm sewing I do pretty well, as long as I go slow. You look great, I like the blue & gray. Pretty.

  35. I hope your step father in law is ok Kassi! SO sorry to hear that he is in the hospital. I cannot sew nor can I cook to save my life. My mom can though...I'll ask her how to sew in a straight line.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Your comments always make me giddy like a school girl on a sugar high. Leave your link so I can creep on you. The good kind of creeping. Not the kind where I hang your pictures in my room or anything. (awkward shuffle)

Fashionably yours,

Kassi
