Vintage Summer Tunic

June 2nd, 2010

For this project, I used some of the vintage linen material that I picked up at the Antique Mall in Hershey, PA and the Peachy Beachy Coverup pattern from Fabric.com.  Originally, I was going to use this coverup as it was intended – for the beach.  But I decided to alter it a little (taking in the sides and arms) and made it more like a tunic – AND I LOVE IT!

When I cut the pattern out, I decided to go with the size 8.  But in the end I wish I had cut the size 6 because I ended up taking it in.  So a note to all those who want to use this pattern – it runs TRUE TO SIZE!

I decided to include Mr. Bruce in this photo shoot – he always adds a little bit of charm to the pictures!

There was a dog in the yard next door, and he just couldn’t be bothered to look at the camera, haha.

And if you look close enough, you can see my new necklace.  This will also be included in my collection (coming in June!).

Like the last time I had a mini photo shoot, my sister, Aubrey, was the one behind the lens.  If you ever need a great photographer I’ll send you her contact information!  I think the one below is my favorite!

And then Bruce quit playing along, and the baby wolf came out!

Haha, what a little wolf!

I’m so excited to share with you what else I’ve been working on!  Until next time!

Hello June!

June 1st, 2010

Alright, I know summer doesn’t officially start towards the end of June, but nonetheless, it sure does feel like summer!

I don’t have any pics to share yet, but I did finish a wonderful new clothing item this weekend, and I can’t wait to show you all!  In the meantime, I would like to officially announce the beginning of Blueprint Crafts’ Vintage Summer!

From now through August (or maybe even September!), I am going to focus all of my crafts on must haves for summer with a vintage twist!  It’s going to be so much fun!  I’m also going to be teaming up with Emily from The Rubber Punkin throughout June – she’s also doing a vintage summer theme!  It’s going to be so much fun!

Check back tomorrow, I’ll be posting on my first Vintage Summer item!
