Mena Trott's Fantastic Idea..


I am absolutely in love with Mena Trott's blog, The Sew Weekly.  Mena set out to sew an outfit for herself every week for an entire year.  Not only are her vintage-inspired outfits absolutely charming, but they are often inexpensive to make.  Many of them feature vintage sewing patterns and fabrics, and she lists the cost and time to make each piece.  I feel so inspired...I wish I had 6 or 7 more hours each day to undertake such a project myself.  What a wardrobe I would have!

Check it out - and if you don't have time to read the posts, at least click on the thumbnails and view the fabulous outfits she has created for herself!
