Orange is the New Black.

Since I have been practicing with my new sewing machine I thought I will make myself a Maxi dress for my trip to the Caribbean.
The tutorial was very easy, and if I can make it you can make it too.

I bought my fabric at Hancock fabric, it's a knit fabric and I paid 20 dollars for 2 yards and half.
I still have leftover fabric that I will put to use for another diy project.
The Tutorial for this maxi dress can be found here thank you Mimi.

Flower Power!

The truth is I never though I would buy a flowery piece, but I fell in love with this top at F21. It is the right amount of flower and the colors are not too bright. I paired it with black pants for more of an edgy look. I need to brag a little now, the bag in the picture is handmade by Moi, yes don't ask me though how I did the sewing cause I did not have a pattern everything was in my head and I put it all together. The end result wow! I am truly happy with it. I can wait to start taking classes in September my intention is to take a class on how to work with patterns. I am so in love with all the fabrics out there that is becoming quite an expensive hobby.
