Mahla & Lane





It was easy to make this couple look amazing. For one, Mahla has great style and asked me to make her Save the Dates with some earthy vintage pizazz. Such an easy thing to do, since they are posed beautifully in a serene meadow. Secondly, I envy the photographer who got to shoot these two. I mean, let's get real, could they take a bad picture?

I used a scan of some rough old hemp to achieve the subtle fabric texture. All that was left was to insert picture perfect, add some vector flowers I had lying around, and VIOLA!

1930s Vintage











And what did I do this weekend you ask? I could probably sum it up in a single sentence...listened to Laura Veirs and watched my social life slowly slip by. I suppose that is what happens when one is a bit obsessive compulsive and a new project has begun. But look at those fabrics? How could I leave my sewing room when I have such glorious prints surrounding me? I'm contemplating finishing this and throwing it up on Etsy to see if I get any takers. Oh, which means I first need to START an Etsy account, THEN step two would be selling my wares. Any takers?
