Where I got my sewing bug from....

I have always loved clothes and fashion. Ever since I was little I remember my mom making me the cutest dresses and outfits. Even now she makes some of the most gorgeous items. I rarely purchase a dress for a formal event. Its so much more fun, and budget friendly, to have a custom made gown that is unique and eye catching. My coworkers oooh and ahhh at every formal function. So I am displaying some of her work to show why I just finally had to learn how to sew. I wanna be that good one day.....

Hello all, after reading so many fabulous sewing and fashion blogs, I decided to join in the fun. I am new at this so bear with me. I am starting off by posting a picture of my first adult sewing project. I have been trying to learn since I was a teenager but now that I am a grown diva I am getting more serious about one of my favorite crafts. So enjoy and let me know what you think. Be kind...I am a newbie...at blogging & sewing lol !
