Fabulous Scarves!!!

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
I found this web site this afternoon
and immediately fell in luv
with everything!

smARTWORKS, INC.
http://www.smartwks.com/styles
Located in Sheffield, Massachusetts, in the Berkshire Mountains.



As you know..I finally
learned how to crochet last winter.

Knitting escapes me...
I am missing the "knit" component
in my brain.

These make me wish I wasn't so
"knittingly challenged".
( i know..it's not a real word)


Wearing one of these would actually
make the winter bearable...almost.
Flower pins too.


Have a great Friday night Pussycats!
Luv Weezi xo



Yep, I am sewing geek.

New Patterns!

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
Yep, I am sewing geek.
There is no denying it.
These patterns arrived today and my
blood pressure went up a notch.
My heart started to beat a little faster.
It was just like Christmas....

I don't know which one to try first.

This gathering in the yoke is so
right now.

More gathering at the neckline.
This will rock for Holiday!!!

I am sooooooo excited
about this Mary Quant.
She is my absolute favourite designer
of all time.

This little jumper is so
nice and "swishy".
I see red and black. OR-Wait!! ... green and purple!
I see houndstooth...paisley?
OH!!! so much to choose from
and such little time.


But this sadly has to be the last
of them for a while.

I need to regin in my eBay buying and get
some stuff paid off.

Some ween off drugs..
Me... I have to ween of vintage sewing patterns.

Must go and lock up my credit cards!
Ta ta for now!!! Luv Weezi xo

New Courier Bags

New Courier Bags

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
Here are couple new courier bags.

I know that the whole 70's,
brown and orange , granny square thing
isn't ALL the rage right now.
New York Fashion week wasn't over-run with these.

BUT!- in a Weezi world it's cool!
This bag rox b/c it is so unique and soft
and cozy..just in time for fall.


Takes a VERY confident gal to wear this bag.

This next bag came out great!

100% wool- pockets inside- roomy

Here's the thing..
I make these up as I go.
When I start a bag I have a rough idea of what I am doing
but I don't really know how it
is going to turn out.
I pick colours..a style
and then the whole process has a kind of its own.


This one couldn't have turned out better.

Enjoy your Monday Pussycats!
Luv Weezi xo

Jumper

New Jumpers

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
Finally after many hours I have finished these new
jumpers in xs-sm-med-lg.


I wasn't sure how many buttons to
put down the front.
4 or 5??
I picked 4.

And as I have mentioned before I
have a renewed love for covered buttons.

Mixed with small gathered pockets
and the obsession is complete.


This jumper is a wool, poly, acrylic blend.

Back zip and 8" flounce.

Inside has a red lining.



Only 4 to be made, one of each size.

Come by and check 'em out.
We're open 11-6.
Take care, Luv Weezi xo

The Margo Dress


Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
I was working on this dress yesterday.
I am calling this dress the Margo Dress.


I did the fittings on myself.
Not much to fit really.
I used an old pattern from the 60's and
they fit quite well as a rule.

I wanted to check on how the sleeve fit (ick)...
and how much shape there was to it
and how the rolled collar sat.


I decided it needed a bit of gathering in the front
to update it a bit.


Everything fit great.I took it in a bit at the sides
to give it a bit more shape.
Very nice.

So, I tried to take a couple pics
to show the finished dress...
Jeeze! I don't know which is worse...
taking pics of red things or black things.

Anyhow...these are just
to wet your whistle as they say.

A straight, loose, 60's cut.
3/4 sleeves
White rolled collar
Small pleats in the center front.
Back zipper.


I really love how these turned out...


I am sorry you can't really see how great they are..
You will just have to come in and see for your self.

As of today 1 small and 1 medium.

Very 60's...a little "Factory Girl"..
a wee bit Jackie O.
Will do more in other colours.

Hope all is well!
Caio! Weezi xo


Vintage Patterns




Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
Well...it is pattern making time again
and I have using these gems.


I am REALLY into the whole A-line, babydoll
look right now.
My issue is what to do with sleeves...
Sleeves are the bain of my existence.


I know this is maternity..
but it is going to great as a jumper.


I have some FABULOUS fabric for this dress already.


It is supposed to be used for curtains...
but not in the Weezi studio.

It's like The Sound Of Music
all over again.

Give me a week or so and these will be in the
Weezi studio.
Have a great Saturday!
luv Weezi xo

Milos


Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
I would like to introduce
you to my lovely boyfriend
Milos
(Mee-low-sh).


For those of you who have never met him...
He is my boyfriend of 5 years.
He is from the Czech Republic.
He is VERY knowledgeable about beer.
He is going to be helping me in the
studio for the next little while.


If you are asking your self why I am
telling you this...
it is b/c when you come to the Weezi studio
you will most likely find him
working away there on his laptop.

He is very friendly and can be of some help
to you if you need.
He will page me to run down
when you come in...I will be
next door in my other studio sewing.

FYI- he is very cool..not at all strange or weird.
Well, maybe after too many shots of Becherovka.
But who isn't strange after one too many shots?!

Will be posting new things i am working on over the weekend.
Hope everything is going well with all
of you!!!
Take care, Luv Weezi xo
