I hope you don't get sick of me prattling on about my new style inspiration, Emma Pillsbury of the TV show Glee. As I wrote last week, I became so obsessed with a particular outfit of Emma's that I'v...
One of the many things I did over the weekend was put the finishing touches on a blouse and a skirt, both made from early 50s vintage patterns. The blouse is Vogue 7347, a VoNBBS (Vogue's New Book fo...
