This is a story about Control
My Control
Control of what I say
Control of what I do
And this time, I'm gonna do things my way
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do
Are we ready? I AM
Cause it's all about Control and I've got Lots of it! -Janet Jackson
A lot easier than said sometimes, when we allow things from our past to control our present and potentially our future you can spiral out of control. So in my case I sew to stay in control and nothing says in control like some leather honey!!!
In this dress I felt all the things my blog stands for: Sassy Classy, Sexy, Period. I've had this pattern McCalls 7047 in my stash for quite some time, However when Mimi G did a tutorial for it, of course I had to have my own. I had tons of faux leather in my stash and couldn't wait to tackle it! I opted for no sleeves or peplum (peplums make your bottom look bigger and I don't need any help in that area...LOL) I also loved the train instead of the straight bottom. To complete the look I added some pearls and 2 different cocoon sweaters created using another Mimi G tutorial.
Now I have no idea where I'm gonna wear this little number, but I will be ready when I do!!

DeleteCongrats on your blog Lawana! You are doing an amazing job. Awesome giveaway idea!! I would love to play with a MimiG blazer, coat, or jumpsuit pattern. I don't use many, but would live to see if its easier than self-drafting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tieraney!! I'm trying really hard...I self draft a little but I prefer patterns.
