Prom, Prom, Prom!

My prom girls started early this year, and I am so excited!!!!!  Here's some of the prom fabric that I have so far, also I got inspired to make myself something for my trip to New Orleans with hubby! Stay tuned for more prom and New Orleans pictures!!!!!!!!

Getting back to the swing of things...

Other than doing small alterations around the house I haven't creatively sewn anything since the last fashion show I did in September, and rightfully sew (Ha! Get it?!) because  I designed, and sewed about 24 pieces in 3 weeks, and I was tired, and took the holidays and applying to graduate school as the excise I needed to take a break from sewing.

Now that its a new year, and I'm already getting prom orders in I figured it was time to get back into the swing of things and get busy with some designs I wanted to draft. Starting with this jumpsuit.

The story behind this jumpsuit is, my hairdresser/ big sister I always wanted has been asking me to make her a jumpsuit for about 15 years. Now my neck is making dresses so that's what I have been sticking to all these years but finally I got the urge to make this particular jumpsuit and I decided to make it for myself so I'm sorry Ouida but I'll be making you one one day, lol.

So I'm stepping out of my comfort area a little bit by working with stripes and knit fabric, because I'm a cotton, satin, silk kind of girl. So we'll see what else I can come up with this year.
