Experimenting with Some New Poses

It has come to my attention that some readers are tired of the sameness of my poses and my intense smile. Completely unrelated, Jenny of Cashmerette recently dared a few of us bloggers to imitate the poses from this article. Sweet serendipity! It was just too much to pass on the chance to address your feedback, AND accept a dare.

So, in an effort to kill two birds with one stone (and show you that I do not, in fact, have lockjaw, which would explain all this smiling), today I show you my most recent sewing project, The Blanco Peplum Blouse, through a variety of new poses inspired by POSE ARCHIVE. And I invite you to participate in the fun! I dare you not to burst out laughing while trying to do this.

In all seriousness, these comments tickled me (well, at first I was like, "HOW COULD YOU SAY SUCH THINGS, I AM DELIGHTFUL", but then I settled down and chortled), and I hope today's post comes off in the good spirit and making-fun-of-myself-ness that was intended.

You'll likely never see the hunched shoulders and pouty faces of a model on this blog. That's just not me! I'm silly and excitable and generally cheerful, especially when it comes to sewing. Although I do have a fair bit of sass, and perhaps some deeply, deeply hidden model talent judging by today's exhibition.

I hope you enjoy the projects I post, that they inspire you, and that we will continue learning from each other. I certainly have enjoyed it over the last year and a half since starting Rosie Wednesday!

Now it's your turn. Show me your pose!
