I just found out @pantone’s Color of the Year for 2019 is Living Coral. They describe it as “Warm, Glorious and Connects Us to the World” & they’re so clearly talking about Studie! 🧠! This makes me feel some really good vibes a-coming for my Studebaker in 2019! Her “Coral Red” paint was given to her when she rolled off the line in 1955 and 63 years later she still wears it. It has in fact “lived” with the elements and has certainly connected me with the world in an entirely new way, and continues to do so. 2019 you are looking to be a good year indeed⚡️#coloroftheyear #livingcoral #COY2019 #pantone #studebaker #bonnevillesaltflats #classiccar #greasegirl #adventureswithstude Bonneville salt found lurking... its only been 2 years Poor Stude, she is ready for some love and attention. #evidenceoffuntimes . . . . #greasegirl #carrestoration #bonnevillesaltflats Not 1, but 2 shirts finished⚡️⚡️Making headway on sewing off my #2018makenine list and adding more #memade things to my wardrobe! First up is a vintage pattern made in a fabric by @gertie18 I’ve been stashing for awhile. Because I had to match stripes, I didn’t have enough for full sleeves so did tulip sleeves instead & am so glad I did. Love them & looove this fabric, especially with my pink hair :) I first made this pattern a couple years ago and had to heavily modify it to fit me, from an original 1940s size bust 32 #Simplicity1906. After all that time I’d only sewn it once & in wearable “test” fabric rather than anything I really choose. So glad to finally make my time pay off because I’m in love with this shirt! The second shirt I did in a “test” fabric - an old sheet picked up at an estate sale. I made it with plans of doing a plain white version in search of the perfect white blouse. Made from a repro 1950s pattern, #SimplicityD0735, the only pattern mod I did was for extra length. This blouse took a good deal of time putting together. It has 6 tucks in back, 4 in front, a gathered and yoked upper back and a single-piece front & collar that I found a little tricky putting together. The pattern didn’t call for buttons on the sleeves, but I found them too bendy otherwise and happened to have 2 extra of these fab vintage yellow glass buttons I used. I’d like to make this shirt again, but perhaps in something sheer. Perfect to go with high waisted jeans or a pencil skirt... which is the next thing on my list (that and finishing my green lamè Lamour dress by Christmas!) . . . . #greasegirl #sewcialist #vintagesewing #sewing #retrosewing #vintagepattern #pinupstyle #pinkhair #1950sstyle #sewcialists #isew
The stuff of dreams⚡️She sits waiting and holds fun, lessons, challenges & adventures. She’s been patiently waiting and I’m getting closer to hitting Texas roads with her. The weekend is coming #adventureswithstude . . . #greasegirl #studebaker #lightflaresfordays #sunrise Hey-ho...let’s GO!⚡️Cleveland is waiting while ‘66 F-100 gets blown apart. You can see cab off of frame in the background. “While we’re at it” we’ve decided to go the paint route. As much as I love patina, this truck was mismatched and though it will be a truck-in-use, we’d like it to look finished . . . #greasegirl #Ford #351cleveland #engine #classictruck #garagelife #carrestoration #fordtruck Smiles & grease♥️⚡️There will be cussing while working on cars, but it’s all worth it when you figure it out. I tackled something I don’t normally work on (new cars). Honda’s auto tensioner on the serpentine belt was a bit of a puzzle to me, but I eventually figured it out, no thanks to very poor diagrams! Feels good to have some grease under my nails after months of moving, setting up house & keeping my nose to the grindstone. But how do I get so much grease on my face?! Really tho. . . . . #greasegirl #womenwhowrench #cussandsmile
The garage is the best place to be in the AM⚡️Had fun rolling out in Ethan’s Ford this weekend (because Studie still isn’t on all fours ) . . . . #greasegirl #goldenhour #57ford #automotivephotography #classiccar #garagegoals Thankful for a nice long weekend & this mister and so many things⚡️ The perfect sign to run into on my 40th birthday today⚡️ . . . . #greasegirl #pinkhair #goodoldays
