I had a great weekend. Busy but great. Monday is upon us and the theme of work seems to be recurring in my head. Don't be afraid of work. Don't be afraid to do work, don't be afraid to do what you need to do. So as I embrace this Monday and do the work I hope you embrace the week and do the same. 

On my completed projects,a Customer had asked for a crop top added to the patchwork maxi skirt and I said yes sure. Wish I could keep this for myself. All I can do is model in it LOL. Pattern for the top was a modified New Look 6163 View B

He is risen! And so is the Easter fashion. Living in the South you realize how big "Easter fashion"is. Its so big its comical. But not judgement right, all to the glory of the Lord.  Depending on which church you attend you will see all the "what is what" in church fashion. Fortunately I attend a church that is quite diverse with people coming from different backgrounds and so you can choose to dress up or dress down.

I decided to step it up a notch and do an African Maxi skirt that is still trending y'all. People don't seem to be getting tired of these skirts. Not a bad thing though. Skirt pattern was self drafted and a pain to sew LOL.

It seems the African print maxi skirt will continue to be trending for a while. These are gathered skirts that go all the way to your feet or slightly past the ankle. They also go by several names like the regal maxi, queen maxi or just maxi skirt. I tried my hand at a few and made some for some friends. Loved the way they turned out and will definitely be making more.
