New Mesh Tank by ME

My Mom said it reminded her of something Lil' Kim would rock. I reassured her that the tank would be worn underneath a jacket.

Been Sewing...

My niece modeled for me... She looks great in them.

My "Rugby" Skirt

I couldn't decided which color to paint my nails... So I decided to do both colors. I loved the color combo so much it inspired me to make a skirt. As you can see I get inspired by anything and everything.

Weekend Fun

I needed a top to wear out on Saturday night so I whipped up a cropped tank top on Friday night. My girl Kathy & I hit up the town and found a cool spot in Gastown that were serving $2.50 pints of beer... As you can see we couldn't resist. Later on we hit the club, saw some friends and got our dance on. Always a good time with the boo.

Couldn't find anything at the mall...

So I made my own fit. I wanted a cute black mini to wear underneath a blazer so Saturday afternoon I brought out the sewing machine and got to work. It's basic but still sexy, which is what I like. It turned out to be really cute and it fit me perfect. I got to wear it out that night and my peoples loved it. :)

My attempt to make a purse...

My first purse... I've been putting off sewing together this purse for a couple weeks but I finally managed to do it and it turned out pretty horrible. It's very shapeless, has no padding to make it stiff and the lining is kinda ripping. I'll still rock it but next time it'll be better!

New Skirt

Halloween!

For Halloween I decided to go as a French Maid. Last year I bought a cheap French Maid costume at Target or somewhere for about $5.00. I revamped the costume by taking it in, adding lace, ribbon and a few ruffles.

My DIY belt

I used some plyers to take off the metal piece of the hair clip and glued it onto the elastic band. And what do you know.. I have a belt!

My result!

My summer dress

I was in Fabricland and picked up this really pretty fabric. It reminded me of a Summer dress.. So I decided to make one :)

My result...

I LOVE IT! I know I know.. Summer is over but who cares! I can always wear it next summer or on my next vacay.

I had extra material left over so I made a cute tube top.

Tribal dress

I went to the Thrift store and came across this size 14 dress with a really cool print that reminded me of my F21 tribal dress so I decided to make my own.
(My F21 dress)

I had left over black elastic and found a beater in my drawer.

My result..

My niece modeled for the pictures. She looked so cute in it so I let her have it.

My first project

I wanted to make something easy for my first project so I decided to go with a skirt.I bought this size 16 dress from the Thrift store because I liked the funky print on it.

I traced my own pattern of a shorter high waisted skirt and went to town!

After 2 hours of hard work this is my result...

I'm so excited about my new skirt! It feels so great to accomplish something and I really enjoy sewing. Can't wait to make something else!
