Project Update: Fall slow down!

Time for a Project Update!!!!!!

My leggings, are almost finished.

Working on my muslin for this dress.

I am making the dress in orange, and the shirt in leopard.

I am making the vest in black denim and black and pink lace.

So, i have a lot going on, better get sewing.

Ashley Stewart is giving me life

Ok, so who is ready for fall. Lol I am, I went into Ashley Stewart and Lane Bryant the other day and I was amazed at how wonderful it was. Couldn't believe my eyes. First, excuse me but fuck Lane Bryant they have some nerve pricing knit dresses and shirts at almost $100 dollars. How dare you Lane Bryant? Pure craziness! So I basically only go in there for spanx and to take pictures to make outfits. Then we traveled to Ashley Stewart,  OMG!!!! Their fall collection is the BOMB!!!!!!! Here are some pics......  

Love Love Love this, thank the Lord for layway!

Couldn't help it, I brought the leggings!

This will be mine!

Everything looked great. I love Ashley Stewart and the prices were good too. Well, that's it for now. See ya soon!

More fall projects for me

Fall FALL FALL IS HERE!!!! I love fall and I can't stress enough how excited I am that fall is coming. I have already picked 10 patterns I want to work on and I haven't even started so my work is cut out for me. I can do it though, I want to do it.

So, this one blogger Mimi G is the BOMB.com. I love her blog so much and this week she put out a tutorial for this great shirt and I really want to make it.
In the meantime I've also learned how to loom knit, which I love. It is so cool. I can't wait to get better.

My first project, don't laugh just getting started!

I would like to get good enough to make a scarf and hat. I can do it just gotta keep practicing.

Next, I want to make some jeggings. The pattern looks really cute.  I found another great pattern at JoAnn too and found some great material to go with it. 

This is beautiful, aint it.

I cannot wait to get started on this dress. Its going to be great. Stay tuned for more!

Take a peak at my fall projects

My favorite season is right around the corner.  I love love love fall. There are so many pretty colors,  the temperature is cool, and the outfit ideas are endless.  Boots, sweaters, leggings,  vests, coats........ so much to choose from.  So yesterday my mom and I traveled to Norcross to a magical place called Fine Fabrics.  Now when we first pulled up, I was like what is this place,  NEVER JUDGE A "BOOK" BY IT'S COVER. Ever. Hands down this was the best fabric store I've ever been in.  Wall to wall fabrics,  more knits and lace than the law should allow.  Plus the prices were awesome,  very very affordable.  Take a look at the pics.

Yes, real fur

Who would not want green leopard

wall to wall

My mom was too happy.

I was happy too. So many possibilities......one store. I decided on two knits, one for a dress and the other for a pair of leggings. I have been wanting a pair of funky leggings for a minute so I will start those first. Here is the pattern and fabric i decided on. 

Pretty and so me

I cannot wait to finish those. For the other material I want to make a basic knit dress. Just something nice to wear to work. Here it is.

I am making view d, just shorter

Well, that should keep me pretty busy. See you soon.
