NL 6519: I Knew It From the Start

Hey Loves! I'm back. It's been a minute! I've been busy! But, I took a quick break to make something for me. Top & Headband: By Me (New Look A6519; Cotton from Wal-Mart); Jeans: Target (Similar); Shoes: JustFab (Reeta) I saw the cutest yellow and black polka dot fabric in Wal-Mart on clearance (2 yards for $1.87). When I saw it, I immediately thought about New Look A6519. It's just one of those patterns I pick up often and put it back because the fabric isn't quite right. Well, this was the one. I got home and printed one of the croquis from Golden Rippy . I took a few minutes to sketch it out. I enjoyed it so much! After sketching, I knew jeans would be perfect. Each time I try a new pattern, I have to read the directions thoroughly...usually 2 or 3 times before I start. After reading the directions, I got to work. The directions were so straight to the point and easy to follow. I decided this pat...

Let's Mix It Up

Hey Loves! It's been a while! A long time! Life has been so busy. I always enjoy the challenge of making myself something a little different for an event. As I made plans to attend the UNCF Birmingham Mayor's Masked Ball, I decided I'd make my dress. It's a combination of a new pattern and a tried and true pattern. I think it turned out well. I visited JoAnna's for a little inspiration because I didn't have time to wait for items to ship and Simplicity patterns were $0.99. I saw Mimi G's Simplicity 9370. The cut out spoke to me. I decided that the right fabric could make it dressy enough for the event. I found this beautiful fabric in the athletic section in JoAnn. I walked past it 3 times and kept coming back, so I bought it. It was also 20% off. I made a muslin of S9370 and decided I didn't like the neckline for a formal. So, with very limited time (3 days before the event), I decided to try to incorporate the cut ...

Sew with Me: One Versatile Piece

Hey Loves! I'm real big on having pieces that cam be mixed and matched to create lots of different looks. If I can visualize at least 4 outfits from a piece, it's in. This goes for pieces I buy and pieces I sew. I was so excited while shopping for fabric, to find a pattern that has so much potential. Funny thing is I wasn't even there for a pattern. I was looking for fabric, but couldn't resist a sale on Simplicity patterns. (Don't judge me...I'm building my pattern collection.) I saw this pattern and saw a swim cover up, dress, and shirt, all in one piece. I couldn't leave it. It spoke to me and I had to bring her home with me. Fast forward a few weeks. The hubby is invited to a luau for 4th of July. I saw my new friend Simplicity 1100 paired with one of old friends from the fabric stash for a perfect fit for the luau. 3 hours of tracing, cutting, and sewing later, I finished this rocking versatile piece.
