A fabric this bold only needs a simple make.  

This simple circle skirt and self drafted white blouse with black trim, allowed a magical fabric to make a statement among the streets of Harlem!

McCall's Wardrobe Upgrade

I've been wanting to upgrade my work wardrobe for some time now.    

McCall's 5894 and McCalls 5145 to the rescue!

McCall's 7262 - Purple Wool Wrap Jacket

Ya'll!!!  This wool from Minerva.com makes me feel loved!  

The warmth!  The weight!  The drape!  The purple!

Kimono Love

When you want to feel amazing in the skin you're in, you need to make something that feels good against your skin!

Palazzo & Cardi

Back in the day, this would have been considered a big mistake.  

Striped palazzo pants on a big girl???  

Another McCall's Bias Cut Blouse - McCall's 7125

Another attempt of getting outside of my comfort zone.
Which requires an enhancement in my self-confidence and boldness, even if I have to fake it 'til I make it!

Citrus Leggings from Tuesday Stitches

I was given the honor to test a pattern!  Yay me!  

Faux Locs & Faux Fur Vest - McCalls 7695

McCall's Pattern M7695 worked nicely with this faux fur remnant I found at Joann Fabrics.  I decided to have some fun and make this vest instead of a throw pillow...the original intent of the purchase.

Patterns for Pirates Cocoon Cardigan in a Sweater Knit

One thing I love about cardigans....they can be worn oversized!  

Okay maybe not TOO big, which this cardigan is borderline now.  But I made this about 30 pounds ago.  And I still plan on rocking it during the unpredictable fall/winter months of the south.

Falling Into This Tunic with Leggings

Do you guys remember those two weeks of fall?  Oh how I missed those two glorious weeks.  Before fall came and went, I was able to get some photos of this super comfy outfit.
