Thank you for not being perky

I’ve not been napping, okay, except for 15 minutes today… I have also been making some spats. Fancier than my usual ones. I do so love picking fabrics, lining, buttons, etc.  these are pretty fun to make with only stress surrounding the buttonholes. Sewing on shank buttons is a total bitch, it makes my wrists hurt.

Thse are from some nice green velvet with white and goldy buttons. The lining is pink fake wood grain from Joel Dewberry. LOVE IT! The backing buttons are from my grandmothers button tin.

The second pair are black and white houndstooth (canvas duck) with red flannel lining, cute red and black vintage buttons (got ‘em at the oakland museum white elephant last year), and some eyelet lace ruffles (like ruffly underwears. hahaha) on the heels

Both of these are now up in my etsy shop!
