My First Sip & Sew Along

Hey Guys!

Yesterday I had my very first Sip & Sew Along event. The project of choice was a circle skirt. It came out so adorable. I love circle skirts. They have such a nice flow to them. Movement makes everything pretty, right? I'm thinking about doing the Sip & Sew Along events every Friday night or every other Friday night? Maybe even in some other cities...Would you come? What city would you like me to host a Sip & Sew Along? Let me know :)

Remember... I want to hear from you!!!

Doodle Sweetheart Dress

Hey Guys!

I just finished up a muslin for a doodle embroidered sweetheart dress I'm working on. I'm really excited about it. It's coming along beautifully and the fit is perfect. Take a look...

 See...Do! When you have a vision/dream all you have to do is make the necessary moves to make it into a reality! If you can see it...it can be yours.

Dress Form Makeover

Well Hello!!!

Happy Hump-day! So, I was looking through some pics I posted recently of some of my draping and pattern making work and thought about how tattered my poor size 12 (realistically a size 6) dress form, Honey, looked. She was a gift from my cousin a few years back. She was put out in the trash and he came to the rescue. Good job Cousin!

I fixed her up before by putting a few pins in to keep the torn fabric from tearing any more and that's about it. Honey has been a great help to me over the years so I figured it was time for me to give her a much needed and well deserved makeover.

See the process below...

Honey is looking pretty snazzy now!!!

Need help doing a dress form makeover? Let me know...I'm here to help!
