2011 Marfy Dreams



As another Month-End-Close starts (12 hr work days for a week and a half), and another jacket gets close to done I have turned my attention to whats next.

The pink jacket with the angled front seaming would look stunning in white denim and a print for the cuffs.


I love these 2 shirts. I am always on the lookout for new shirt patterns for stripes, and #2410 is super cute in a natural silk noil-type fabric for spring.




That sleeveless tan jacket is perfect for weekends in tan. Don't you just love the hemline?


Dress 2596 in plaid has very interesting and flattering seaming and drape even though I am not crazy about the top and sleeves. I know that I would have to go with something short sleeved for this town, that looks hot!




I haven't bought the two jackets below, very unique sleeve treatment but I am not sure how wearable they are. I love that gathered collar on the right and the sleeves would look cute if shortened to right below the gathers.




This a good start, lots more pictures to follow so stay tuned!

1 UFO Conquered -Marfy 1885


I was so in the mood for spring clothes!

The tomato plants have grown into bushes, the weather is dependably in the 80's and the grass is finally retuning to green (at least the weeds are).

When you are short on time and looking for a quick fix the only thing better than shopping your stash is shopping your UFO's.

What stood out for me most was this shirt!


Marfy 1885 and it looks fabulous!


The only thing more fabulous than the front is the back!


Love it!

The only things I had to finish was the arm binding and the sew on the buttons.


What was I waiting for? It looks great with that blue leather jacket.



I have decided to use the dress with the ruffle at the neck, and I am down to hand stitching the hem and lining the sleeves of that other jacket pluss buttons & buttonholes.


I will see how much I can get done this weekend
