Sewing for ME !!!! and Closing Reminder.

I am so excited. Last Friday evening Grace, my friend Denise and I stayed at the store and sewed. I cut out and made 2 new tops.


The fabric for this top is a Polyester/Lycra Jersey knit from Hi-Fashion Fabrics. Very soft and drapey. I used a contrast for the Reversed V-Neck and the front drape in a black with white pin dots. I plan on wearing this with slinky pants that are black with very small turquoise rectangles.






Below is probably my favorite style of knit tops. I saw this in a magazine several years ago and figured out how to copy the style. I call it my Slashed and Gathered. I have made this in solids, stripes and prints of all the same fabric. This time I decided to mix it up a bit with the opposite polka dot prints. The black with white is 100% cotton jersey and the white with black is 100% cotton ribbed knit. This top will be go with many other colors including my red slinky pants or skirt. Add a bit of red jewelry to top off the outfit. I also have turquoise trousers and jewelry that will be just a bit less bold.

Shari will reopen the store JULY 14th. We need to keep Shari busy, therefore we are having a . . . . . . . .
