The Best Interfacing for ANY Season1

Pro-Weft Fusible is the interfacing for "All Seasons" because it is a knit and woven interfacing combined into one fabulous product that "breathes" because of its unique weave and its specially formulated highly flexible fusible resin.

Available in both Natural or Black, It's terrific for tailoring...especially as a complete underlining for jackets and coats, stablizing hems, wonderful for waistbands, and super for casual shirts made from medium to heavy weight fabrics.  Pro-Weft is perfect for so many types of fabrics and weaves like Linen, Boucle, Silk, Gabardine, Wools, Denim, Twill, and more!
 

So... exactly what is it ?

A woven interfacing like ProWoven Standard has the lengthwise fiber threads (warp) and crosswise fiber threads (weft) woven together. PRO-WEFT is a special kind of "weft insertion" interfacing, where the fiber threads are first knit and then crosswise (weft) fiber threads are woven (inserted) into the knit yardage.

Woven interfacing like ProWoven Standard are totally stable. Knit interfacings like  
Pro-Tricot Deluxe are soft and have stretch. By combining the properties of both knits and wovens, PRO-WEFT is both stable and drapey. Plus its special fusible resin makes it supremely soft and flexible ...and the **Most Versatile Interfacing** across the widest range of sewing applications.

Sundays Best

We had such an amazing weekend in Montreal, it was warm, sunny and perfect! I got so much done, made a blouse for my new mini line that will be self titled. I decided a few weeks ago that my clothing line will not be called YeYe! but Isabelle Hayes from now on. It sounds more grown up and professional. I won't be launching the new pieces until I get back from my NYC trip in 2 weeks. I am still waiting on a few more details to be done. I am so excited and can,t wait to share!

I picked up this skirt over at one of my favorite vintage shops  in town called Annex Vintage, it is a 70s Italian printed maxi skirt with the most amazing print I have ever seen. The colors of the skirt make me so happy.


I was wearing :
-Vintage 70s Italian printed maxi skirt, c/o Annex Vintage in Montreal
-AA black body suit
-Vintage necklace
-Forever 21 shades and platform clogs
-Vintage straw bag

Hues of Pink

Wearing:
-Vintage light pink peter pan collar blouse
-Forever 21 overalls
-Emilio Cavallini tights
-Forever 21 booties

Yesterday was quite the busy day, I worked on some shop stuff, met up with an old friend who gave me a great pep talk and then got a hair trim. I decided to go back to my good old bangs, I tried the bangs on the side look for a while but this is my favorite. 

Since it was a pretty early Fall day yesterday I had fun again with layering, I picked up these hot pink tights last week and was drawn to them instantly, I paired them with a velvet burgundy pair of overalls and a light pink peter pan collar blouse I thrifted over the weekend. I wanted to keep it for the shop but could not resist keeping it for myself. I like how the outfit came together I have been having fun playing with colors in the same hues lately I find it fun and unexpected. 

Well better get back to work!

The week in Instagram!

The week started off pretty slow but I got a lot done, I went thrifting and found some pretty amazing stuff, like a dead stock white shirt for men from the 60s for Stéphane for our wedding. Later in the week I visited my top secret church sale and found a ton of new vintage items for the shop. I reworked a Girl Guides dress I thrifted in Halifax, my friend Sarah who run's Cheap Opulence gave me the amazing pink suede circle skirt and and peacock blue suede shorts, they will be photographed  and in outfit posts very soon. Be sure to check her Etsy shop she has a great selection of amazing vintage items! That's all for this week folks I will be updating my Etsy shop tomorrow all day long!

French Sailor Inspired

Wearing:

-Vintage 70s Wool oversize pull over c/o Cheap Opulence Vintage

-H&M striped tee dress

- Vintage Longchamp leather backpack

-Black patent leather vintage Ferragamoe's

- Forever 21 whistle pendant

-Beacons closet blue braided rope bracelet

-Nail polish by Rimel color Midnight blue

Today I was inspired by this blue Wool pull over I picked up at Cheap Opulence Vintage, my friend Sarah runs it here in Montreal at events and online in her Etsy shop. She has the most amazing stuff, it's incredible, you must keep a look out for her shop or attend any of the many local vintage sales she does here in Montreal. She is by far the sweetest girl you will ever meet I swear! I picked up a few other amazing pieces that will be shown on the blog in the next few weeks.

I took these photos early this morning, the sun was out and there was a brisk wind, the pull over was perfect for this type of weather. I like the cut of it paired with something form fitting underneath and the Ferragamoe's give the look a touch of French chic. The small leather back pack is made by Longchamp, an amazing find I did last week I still cannot believe I had such luck.

The week in Instagram!

Well it was a nice week! I attended a really cool event with my mum, at this local charity shop called Fringues & Cie, they are in the YWCA building downtown. They were selling designers goods for nothing over 50$ My mum scored a beautiful Anna Sui dress and I found a silk Balenciaga  blouse. You can see more pictures from the event on my mum's lovely blog Called Style Montreal Sud-Est. I finally received my new Nikon lens, so now I can take even better pictures for the blog, I can't wait to test it out today. I added some vintage hats in my Etsy shop, my favorite is a Seal Skin brown floppy hat with satin bow trim. Yesterday Stéphane took me out to diner in Chinatown and we went to our favorite Pho place, then went to Harmony bakery for tasty pasties! I picked up some tasty snacks for the long weekend too ;) Well that's all  for this week, more to come over the week, lots of outfits posts and adding new items in my Etsy shop so stay tuned!
