I love my Vest !!!

Two days in a row I need an applause yes........I am truly trying my best to stick to my words of posting my projects. Well I sewed this Simplicity 2556 vest in the fall and I really love it. It is a Project Runway pattern which has a few different looks to it. I choose the leather back look, I loved the sleek design of the back view. I found some very beautiful black pique fabric, the texture was a very nice and I  mixed with the synthetic leather for the trimmings. I also added welt pockets instead of the trimming that ran around the waist.

Overall it was not a difficult project and it turned out very nice, I received tons of compliments and would probably sew it again. Hope you like it!

This is my favorite part of the vest, I think its just so stylish!

My pics a little dark but I wore it with my black leather equestrian boots and it look fantastic....Love the look!

Catching UP!!!

Well decided to take this week and focus on posting all of those sewing projects that I have completed but failed to post. Since the weather here in Florida is already SUMMER HOT.....and I have some completed winter projects that I failed to upload I've decided to start.

This is an old pattern that I've had for a very long time and decided to make it to wear to dinner with a few friends.Pattern Simplicity Cynthia Rowley 2406.......I love and own a few of her patterns and hope to get around to sharing my completed projects.

Heres my completed dress.....I decided to use a navy blue cotton fabric out of my fabric stash.  

Love the fit, I cut a size 14 and it was just right, I did not have to do any adjustments, this pattern was a breeze.

I was in love with the back of this dress.......the exposure was no too much and not too little but just right to remain classy!

The fit is amazing and as I said before this was a easy pattern, I would do it again maybe in a floral print to wear this summer. Instructions were easy to follow,  for a beginner this would be a good choice. Hope you enjoy my finished project......

1. Besides sewing I spend alot of time playing word games....anything with words. Word searches, word puzzles, scrabble, scramble with friends, ruzzle and anything else that come to your mind . Nobody in my family nor my circle of friends would play me anymore so if you are looking for a new opponent I'm here!!! LOL

3. I am a TRUE GOD fearing woman, I love doing bible studies and learning anything new about Our Heavenly Father!
4. I'm a MOVIE fanatic, REDBOX, NETFLIX and the local theatres are my type of entertainment........but only HAPPY movies....no SCARY, SAD or BLOOD and GUTS. Anything that makes me laugh or feel happy!!!
5. I'm a POSITIVE trooper........stay away from negative people, things or places!
