When I was little I had a poncho...a peach poncho so when I started putting this look together I wanted to make one for Grace. I started with a vintage pattern...and then changed the shape...and then changed the length...and then added a lining....and when I was finished it is NOTHING like what I started with...but I like it. I like how it fits and lays. I also like the vintage polyester outside and the warm fuzzy flannel lining. I think that I'll put together a tutorial for making one ... View the Post
Buffalo Gals: The Park Ranger
Is this bow insane? Yes. Yes it is. But it wasn't my idea, it was all hers. I actually bought this scarf to be A SCARF with another one of Gracie's outfits...however...she thinks it's supposed to be a ginormous bow...so I just went with it. Working our way down, Gracie has on a white hand-me-down blouse from Hannah worn with a vest that I made from the same heavy knit I used in her Claim Jumper look. As for the skirt I made it from the same vintage polyester I used for Gracie's ... View the Post
Buffalo Gals Look Book: The Audubon Society
If there is something I love as much as vintage polyester is has to be VINTAGE VELVET!!! I scored almost 2 yards of this stretch rust colored velvet at a thrift store I stopped at on the way up to Yellowstone this summer. And guess how much it cost---$1.00! Best thrift store find ever! (Ok, maybe not ever, but it's up there!) And while Grace's Don't Feed the Bears look is my favorite in the Buffalo Gals Look Book this one is Grace's. She wore it first and has worn it the most. She thinks ... View the Post
Buffalo Gals Look Book: The Claim Jumper
Awhile back I found a CRAZY 80's pattern for this jumper at a thrift store...and I bought it...and I forgot about until this summer when I was going through my pattern pile. Even though it is a shorts pattern I knew I wanted to make it for Grace to wear this fall and winter. They just look like winter shorts to me. (Whatever the heck winter shorts look like.) So I made them and followed the instructions almost exactly. I'm pretty satisfied with the results. I like the neckline in the front, ... View the Post

Buffalo Gals Look Book: The One That Got Away and a How To
So here is the deal with today's "look": It is one that I chose NOT to include in the "official" Buffalo Girls Look Book. But...she still wears it...because it's comfy, and has stripes, and she loves a good scarf... Even though it's not really part of the Look Book I am sharing it today because of the pants. (All of the legging style of pants I made for the Look Book are made the exact way I made these ones.) On Friday I shared two great places to find easy to follow leggings tutorials but I ...
