my final guest for vintage may is vanessa from {lbg studio}!  i just love how vanessa uses color/proportion/layering in her sewing – this outfit she sewed for project run & play was one of my favorites ever, and the pop of color in this geranium tunic paired with gray bubble shorts is total eye candy.  she has an amazing eye for photography – pretty peaches, a sweet birthday tribute, pumpkin bread…mmmm so lovely.  i just want to live in her photos.

vanessa has a great shop and i’m super excited for her newest bag pattern in the works!

she’s sharing a beautiful dress sewn from a vintage pattern, and her post talks about the good and the bad of sewing from one.  as always, her pictures are absolutely lovely.  head over to {lbg studio} to see more.

thanks so much, vanessa!  and with that, vintage may is coming to an end!  we’ll do a roundup and feature some projects from the flickr group next week, and i have other things to tell you about (Em’s fifth birthday and my surreal and awesome Quilt Market weekend!).  but that’s me getting ahead of myself… 😉

now if you want to read a crazy story of how dedicated some sewing bloggers can be, head over to Craftiness is not Optional for a preview of Ruffles & Stuff’s beautiful vintage slip skirt and click through for her story.
