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.....

From the top:

New Look 6517 (2005) in stretch velvet - sewn December 2007

Beautiful dresses. I come from a long line of sewists as well. And like you: I love it.
