Tickled Pink: Sassy, Classy, Sexy, Period.

 MiMicItMonday is back!! I needed a little break and I'll tell you guys why on Friday. What a week!   Now its no secret that  I have undoubtedly been a tad bit obsessed with winter white this season.  I put my little twist on this number from Beyonce's Ring The Alarm video. Why it's "Sassy,Classy, Sexy, Period." Pair it with a bold red lip, and pink leather boots and sound the alarm!  To create this look : I used Simplicity 1283 and extended the crop top to make the dress.A Mimi G tutorial for  the cocoon sweater was used and  I used a  mash-up of McCall's 6844 and 6442 to create the second coat/dress. Although I love this winter white look and  due to the overwhelming amount of snow this weekend (28 inches) I  am sew over winter! I give up on the winter  for right now. I just wanna go outside for pics and enjoy the elements, but this here snow is messing up my vibe... I however reserve the right to change my m...

Yay!!! It's Friday and it's a 3-day weekend...what are you guys doing this weekend? Let me know below. Well first things first...FREESTYLE FRIDAY!!!! Anyone that knows me, knows I love my skirts and maxis...I even adore my wide legged palazzo pants. However I almost never ever wear jeans! Even on the occasional "dress down" day at work I don't do it. That's mostly in part to my shapely figure and I find it very hard to find jeans that fit me (insert sad face) UNTIL NOW THAT IS!!! The struggle is indeed real...I recently went back to Weight Watchers because I am trying to be the best me I can be. Now you might be saying, "She's fine!" "What does she have to lose?" It's not about the number on the scale its about what happens "Beyond The Scale" like taking care of the other parts of me physically, mentally, spiritually, etc. So occasionally I will throw in a FREESTYLE FRIDAY to let my hair down a little bit sew to speak...I...

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....

Happy Monday Gang...what a week I've had! I'll tell you all about it during the week. Let's just say I've had to deal with Autism meltdowns, feeling discouraged, STILL battling bronchitis (AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!) and trying to clean out a closet!!! Chaos I tell ya!! So to keep my sanity I needed to get on my machine. I made a few pieces this weekend that I can't wait to show you but since I am obsessed with jumpsuits, I decided to revisit a jumpsuit I made a few weeks back! Now most of you know I work in a classroom and the way the heat is set up..I eliminated the sleeves and the turtleneck...What I love most about this "reboot" is that I can layer it with a sweater if I get chilly and how awesome is this fabric? I've had it over a year and finally realized what I could make from it and I love it!!! And best of all its super comfy!! Until next time, Keep it Sassy, Classy, Sexy, Period.

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 Fabric...
