Prince exhibit at MOPOP

I loved him so!  I now will be making something in tribute to his look. I am thinking lacey shirt with ruffle in front and pants with buttons on side legs.  He was the best

new project

I will be making these pants out of fabric my client got when traveling. These will be really beautiful.  She is giving me the pattern and findings and I am cutting and sewing for her.

hemming success

I know you can't see it but this is my client wearing her super cute jumpsuit that I hemmed for her. I had to take about 5"off. I could not do a blind hem with my machine so I serged the cut edge then hand sewed it.  They will look great with pumps or sneakers like in these shots.

Dress hemming

Barbara wanted 2" off her dress. She left it for me and voila! 

Tina's on Madison

This is the greatest fabric store and so is Tina.  I got an awesome stretch denim, and fabric for a top.  She also threw in some of the textured fabric because she thought I would have fun with it.

I think it will be pants and a jacket and maybe a skirt.

Why I am not sewing tonight . . .

8 pm start time.  Agg.  But it is worth it for a true Dawg.  Like me. 

dress style I want to make

I was on jury duty today. I did not get to sit but I did get a 2 hour lunch so I went to the library and got a book about fashion. I found these "utility dresses" from the 1940's.  I love them.  I want to make one or some for the spring and summer.
