My new favorite fabric store & MiMicItMonday is BACK!! Featuring MimiG!

Happy New Year again!! Vacation is over and I hope everyone had an amazing holiday season. Although I was sick my entire vacation, I managed to get some rest but not much sewing done. I had so many plans to sew over my holiday break but my body had other plans. All I could do was gather inspiration while I tried to recover. A few week ago while out with my special guy he said he wanted to take me somewhere to eat...now anyone that knows me, knows how much I love to eat so I was down! As we were driving we literally stumbled upon the fabric store...I thought that was where he was taking me! It was a total surprise to both him and me...well I couldn't not go in could I?







So while I was visiting Shor I found some delicious scuba fabric. I went to this store 3 times before I bought it because I kept saying, its not the season for it.. but who says you can't have a little springtime in winter? .then I remembered this pic of Mimi G...


I ran back to Shor Fabrics in Newark and scooped up that scuba...and I was not disappointed that they still had a little left and I got all they had of this. I created my look by using Mimi G for Simplicity 1283 crop top extended of course, accented with finger holes on the sleeves and a circle skirt with a 3 inch waistband...super cute and super fun, let me know what you guys think.









Buckle up for an exciting ride in 2016 and as always in parting 
Keep it Sassy, Classy, Sexy, Period.

I'm a Survivor!!!!!

I'm a survivor I'm not gon' give up I'm not gon' stop I'm gon' work harder I'm a survivor I'm gonna make it I will survive Keep on survivin'- Destiny's Child (Dress: Tickled Pink stretch denim and camo maxi dress) I am the epitome of "I don't look like what I've been through", Weighing in a 3 lbs 5 ounces and 3 months premature I was born a survivor. My hope for this blog is to be a beacon of light and hope for someone that doesn't think they can make it... YOU CAN!! I am far from where I want to be, but right where I need to be! I've been working really hard over the last few weeks to get this blog off the ground...and what better season than Fall, where the weather and fashion can change like the color of leaves... Photo cred: Mr. B I know you must be thinking "Why now? Why at this time?" Well, I will tell you why, there is a reason why I did indeed pick this particular time and "...

How Sewing helped me with Body Shame...

I'm not the average girl from the videos And I aint built like a supermodel But I learned to love myself unconditionally Because I am a queen...India Arie I wanted to do something a little different today and that’s start a dialog… It’s always amazing to me how the things that come out of people’s mouths require a preface…like *WARNING: WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY IS UTTER NONSENSE* Now it’s no secret that I’m a curvy woman…been like that my whole life…it’s in my family’s genes! What can I say? Thanks Grandma!! Now while I made a little joke…the things I’ve heard over the years and most recently have left me a little disheartened… “Girl, why are you working here? You should be a stripper/dancer” “With a body like that I would be in videos” “Now you know YOU need a blazer on with that dress!” “Looks like you are hiding a Smurf under that dress!” “You look like Barney today!” “Your outfit is too much today!” “You are too big for that!” ...

Open Letter to Mimi Goodwin & #MiMicItMonday

So on the beginning of my first week of blogging, I decided to pen an open letter to my mentor Mimi Goodwin... Dear Mimi, I had no idea that when I bought my sewing machine in 2011 what exactly I was gonna do with it, (that machine would go on to sit in the box for almost 2 years). In early July 2013, I discovered your blog on a friend's Facebook page, little did I know that this one click would change my life forever! I was headed toward a transition that I didn't see coming, my wedding engagement was coming to an end and it devastated me and  I felt lost. I knew I needed something to take my mind off of the pain I was feeling. I was headed in a downward spiral and no one knew it but me, and you Mimi Goodwin saved me from myself. So after I tried and SUCCESSFULLY completed 3 of your tutorials on the first try, I knew I had found my therapy. You were and still are always so kind, answering inbox questions without hesitation, offering help whenever I asked. You will never...
