That 70's Glow

Journaling reads: This photo of me was taken at the beginning of my 11th grade school year. I was 15 years old going on 30 by the looks of the photo. I remember thinking that I was so stylish that day glowing with 70s vibes. This lovely, double-knit jacket that I am sporting was the creation of my own two hands. I wore a pair of high-waisted, big-legged, navy slacks (also double knit and made by me). And, I tucked a pale, sheer, cream colored scarf around the neckline to complete my ensemble. Of all the fashion fads from the 70s, I think double-knit was probably the most hideous. On the plus side, it was stretchy, wrinkle-free and non-fray. On the minus side it was unpleasantly hot and heavy feeling, but mostly, it was just ugly! That being said, I had a LOT of clothing that I had made from it: jackets, pants, dresses, skirts, even an evening gown and matching jacket!!! Thankfully, it was a passing craze which, hopefully, will never return.

The top and bottom borders were created using a Thickers Alphabet Alignment Guide. I drew the curves then cut them by hand. The circles were punched and then I added pen stitching with either a Signo or a Zig pen. The stars were made with the Cuttlebug using Tim Holtz-Sizzix - Atomic Elements. The lines in the bg and the dots around the star tips were added using a Signo and Zig pen. The title letters were cut by hand. Lastly, I added a few brads. Thanks so much for stopping by :)
