Create This Look – Printed Damask Cotton Velvet – Black
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope 2016 is off to a great start for you. This week I have chosen the “Teamwork Makes The Gleam Work Dress” from ModCloth. I know the next holiday isn’t until February, but why not start planning your Valentines Day outfit early?!
This look requires two different fabrics. One for the skirt & one for the bodice. I was really excited when I saw this look. I knew exactly which fabric I would use to create it. Read More...
Create This Look – Cardinal Poly/Wool Plaid
Merry belated Christmas!!! I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas this year. Only a few more days left of 2015! Can you believe it?! Well this week I was inspired by the cold… & the “You Don’t Know Jackson Coat In Plaid” from ModCloth.
The fabric I chose is our Cardinal Poly/Wool Plaid. It is a lighter weight poly/wool, so if you live in a colder climate then I would recommend lining it. Fleece or even Minky would make a very Read More...

Good Morning! I can’t believe December is almost over! I hope everyone has all of their Christmas shopping done… or at least almost done. There are still a couple of days left so have no fear, The Fabric Market is here! Maybe this weeks look will help you finish up your Holiday sewing.

I was pretty excited when I saw this cape while scrolling through ModCloth. Read More...
Create This Look – Black Floral Poly/Cotton Knit Lace
Good Morning! I hope everyone had an awesome weekend! This week I was inspired by the “Champagne At Midnight Dress In Navy” from ModCloth.
I choose three different fabrics in order to recreate this look. The first is one of our really pretty cotton/poly knit laces. I went with black because its a classic color that looks great on everyone… Also the navy lace & chiffons we carry were slightly different shades.
The second fabric is our beautiful black 2 Tone Read More...
Create This Look – Mint Lightweight Poly Dot
Good Morning! This week I was inspired by the “All She Wants to do is Prance Dress in Jade” by ModCloth. We just received a couple new polkadot lightweight poly’s, so I can excitedly share my polkadot obsession with you again.
The fabric I chose is our awesome new mint lightweight polyester polkadot. The dots are slightly larger than our inspiration look, but it will still look super cute! It is pretty opaque so it shouldn’t require lining, but if you feel you need Read More...
Create This Look – Bridal Satin – Fuchsia
Good Morning! I hope last week was fantastic! This week I was inspired by the “Only A Glamor Of Time Dress” from ModCloth. I can’t get over how adorable this dress is. The next time I have a special event to go to, this will be the dress I make… or buy, depending on how much time I have. ;P
The pattern I chose is S2444 by Simplicity. It is one of the “Inspired by Project Runway” patterns. I recommend Read More...
Create This Look – Watercolor Floral Chiffon
Good Morning! The “Plant Ahead Top” from ModCloth was the inspiration for this weeks look. I wasn’t quick enough… again & ModCloth has sold out of this top. That being said this is a great blouse to have in your wardrobe. The basic shape means you can mix and match it with a lot of different pieces, creating a brand new outfit every time you wear it.
The pattern I chose to create this look is S1253 by Simplicity. I Read More...
Create This Look – Emerald Green Ethnic Stripe Chiffon
Good Morning! This week I was inspired by the “Mountain Dwelling Dress” from ModCloth.
I chose S2406 by Simplicity as the pattern for this weeks look. The sleeves are slightly different but the shape and neckline are pretty similar. I recommend using View C. This View also includes a fabric belt, however I like small thin belt better.
The fabric I chose to create this look is a flowy chiffon, which features a large grungy ethnic stripe. We carry this particular pattern Read More...

This pattern I chose is S1803 from the Project Runway Collection by Simplicity. I recommend using Bodice View B. The skirt is the same for all of the Views.
I chose to use a pretty wool plaid. The colors were very similar, not to mention the weight of the wool will work really Read More...
Create This Look – 2 Tone Chiffon – Tiffany Blue
Hi everybody! This week my inspiration is the “Cheers for Tiers Dress” from ModCloth. This dress is absolutely gorgeous! I knew that our 2 Tone Chiffons would look amazing made into this dress. Take a look & I think you’ll agree.
When I chose a pattern for this look, I looked for layered skirts, because I figured that would be the most difficult to recreate. I think the one I landed on is a good compromise. Its S6211 from the Read More...
