I saw the teal one and had to have it. I found the geometric print on ebay but it was only 1 yard. It is sheer so no pencil skirt. Then I remembered the oversized shrug. The bandeau top is from a tutorial on you tube the shrug too I still have to hem the shrug. Love it. I made a green bandeau as well now I need a shrug to match.
I put my own logo on a shirt she thought it meant put your logo on a shirt either way it is a win for me!
I plan on making me some pixie pants with nl6231. I got my zipper foot in the mail yesterday. Wish me luck!
This is what I wore for CIAA. Mimigstyle used a different pattern but I made it work. I love the way it came out. My girlfriends were so funny. They said where are our matching dresses. I can't wait to make a black one.
I used V8536 added 7" instead of 6 like mimigstyle and it was still mad short and that was ok. It took me back to freshman year at Livingstone I would put on something I thought was too short and my girlfriend would say good take it off and I will wear it. I used ponte roma knit.
I made this jacket. It is too big of course the fabric was a sheet so nothing lost. I need to learn about easing sleeves theses are horrible. I am a little sad because I liked that sheet. Maybe just fix the sleeves. I've worn oversized blazers before.
Browsing instagram came across shopwraplife.com became inspired and came up with this. My wrap is a shirt I picked up at the thrift store. Now I need an outfit to match. How do you like my faux bangs. I may make some wraps similar to the website it is only a yard and a half of fabric. You know me!
Facebook group is doing a sew along I said hey why not it was two pieces. I made it too big easy fix.
Pink dress used a tutorial on you tube. Man me and a circle skirt I just do not have it down yet I need to make a paper pattern till I get right. That dress took only a yard and a half. Not bad!
Last night I was sewing like mad just in case we did not get a snow day. The school district called at 5:30 am and I was not even mad! I wanted some palazzo pants and I want mimigstyle new jumpsuit. I have patterns for each but not fabric. You tube to the rescue. Nadira037 has a palazzo pants tutorial that uses non stretch fabric. I was all over that! I made them a little too big but they are not bad I may shorten them I have on high heels with these. I am quite proud of myself for my self drafted pattern!
I made two skirts from mimi g regal skirt tutorial. This make 4 skirts I have made from that tut. I put zippers in these. I need an 030 zipper class. 030 is a remedial level class at Livingstone College. The zipper on the red one is way better than the black.
I paid .74 a yd at Walmart for the red one. The metallic fabric cost 2.97 from hancock on the spot the bolt table.
Found this fabric at Walmart. $6.47 a yard. Only needed 1 1/2 yards. I did not cut mines down to 53" on all sides I pulled it out the bag made a triangle and that is all she wrote. I also went to Hancocks and they are still having their 50% off remnant sale and I bought the fabric for the pencil skirt in the picture and some fleece for $2.08. You see I came straight home and made my skirt made two cowls out of the fleece too. I could not wait. This sewing thing has gotten bad. I have one skirt cut one skirt almost done just made one yes I need to slow down. Lol!
I made this. I used V8930. I could not have done it without a lady on Facebook. She walked me through the pattern. I do want to make another one. Maybe solid color with a leather trim.
Ok I seen the zara blanket scarf and fell in love. I do think it is still available on the the zara website. I was at the thrift store and found a flannel blanket. Yep. Pinterest has numerous ideas on styling a blanket scarf.

This blogger gives you a tutorial on three ways to wear it.
If you want to make your own the blogger mentioned her zara scarf measures 53" on all sides. So that is roughly 1 1/2 yards of 60" fabric. You can cut it down if you want.
I made this turban head band using the tutorial below I couldn't really figure out the elastic part so it came out OK. I plan to wear it with a purple sweater.
