Tickled Pink: Sassy, Classy, Sexy, Period.

Well the weather outside is frightful.. .but to sew is so delightful...and since there's no where to go Let Us Sew Let Us Sew Let Us Sew Whooooooooooooooo what a week! My first week of blogging was a success and its because of you guys. I appreciate all of the wonderful comments and encouragement. So in honor of my first week, I am giving you a 2 for 1 special look! When I found this fabric a couple of weeks ago, I knew it would be a great addition to my fall wardrobe. I also knew that if I didn't make something with it soon, I would have to save it for next summer/fall. However  I couldn't keep this delicious fabric cooped up until next fall. But I couldn't decide on just one dress, I had to make 2!!! These are 2 of my most favorite types of dresses to make for myself: fitted midi dresses and of course my signature maxi dress. I paired them with a super cute pair of suede fringe heels and a Mimi G Cape with my own little twist by adding a hood...So with that ...

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...
