In the spring I went up to the big fabric warehouse and brought back many pretty pieces of fabric. This was one of them. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very wide, and I only bought 1 yard of it. Normally, I could make a shirt out of 1 yard of fabric, but not when it isn’t very […]

I made this top last Friday night. It is made from FreeSpirit’s Van Gogh line of prints and I just love the colors in this fabric. I even painted my nails lavender to match one of the many colors in it. The reason for the top, was that I was going to my 20th high […]
I seem to have a theme going on lately of wearing a lot of black and white. I guess it is really easy to match things up. What makes it easier is when you wear a dress, as you only need to match your shoes! I made this dress a good 4 years ago, I […]

This is almost a maxi dress…because, well…it isn’t a dress. I made the top and bottom separately on this so I can mix or match. I won the fabric from an online message board and it traveled all the way from Germany to land in my little sewing room. Hopefully, I treated it well. I […]
