I'm a free-lance artist who sews a whole bunch and has a major weakness for cute shoes. This blog is about anything and everything I do that is creative.

I'm currently challenging myself to sew something new for myself every month and put together some cute ensemble to go with it.

I should get pictures of the fabric I have for upcoming pieces. I need to remind myself that I can NOT, under any circumstances, buy any more fabric until June because I don’t need it. 

Yep… I have dress ideas for my sewing challenge decided up until then. No idea what I am doing yet for July.  Part of the idea behind the sewing challenge is to go month-by-month. Otherwise I’ll suck all the fun out of it.

My June theme will be “Re-purpose and leftovers”. I have a bridesmaid dress from a thrift shop that has the perfect fabric for the skirt and just enough leftover ivory dupioni silk for the top, and a leftover piece of gold chiffon for a sash. It’ll go with my gold and ivory brocade shoes.

This sewing challenge has been a lot of fun… I LOVE picking out fabrics for fun designs, adding new things to my wardrobe, picking out accessories, and watching things come together.
