I absolutely adore my husband and my aim is to make him as happy as he makes me feel. So that means looking good for him on HIS Birthday hahahahahahaha. Okay any day is an excuse to sew something.

I was inspired by this dress I saw on my facebook feed and said OMG this is gorgeous I have to have it.

Now Velvet is trending right now and its one of those fabrics that once's it's out of trend you ask yourself what on earth was I doing, but hey, live a little right.

So I found the perfect velvet fabric and pattern and went to work. This was an easy sew and the only thing I would have changed is lengthening the hem and sizing down. Other than that I came close to the inspiration version. Hubby loved it and we had a great day celebrating his birthday.

The holidays are coming and you know you have an event that you need a dress for. Work Party, Birthday. Let me help you get ready for that.

It's the holiday season and without fail, all things sparkly and festive are here. I have kind of stayed away from working with sequin and glittery fabric because I am too scared to mess up such pretty fabric. I happened to go to the fabric store and spotted some shiny remnant fabric that I thought I could work with. I picked McCall's pattern M7047 and it was the perfect easy pattern to go with the fabric and it can be warn three different ways. I loved that added versatility.  Sadly I have no red carpet, or fancy events to go to, so I will be dressing up to go no where LOL. Here is what I came up with. How did I do?
