Oh boy

I can't believe I abandoned you dear blog for so long. Its just been a long week of thinking and sewing and trying to figure out what next to do with all this fun. I am working on selling a few handmade clothing via etsy website. Of course the ultimate goal will be to sell from my own site. It will happen soon..........I am hopeful. In the meantime, watch out, I will be selling a few summer skirts and dresses soon, and I can always make to order if needed.

Fall 2010

I attended the Fall 2010 DVD Showing organized by Fashion Group International. It was fun. I found that regardless of all the crazy styles, silhouettes and all, it all balls down to a wearable style. Colors are in this fall, camel was a popular color, used mostly for great coats (Marc Jacobs) and pants (Michael Kors. Turquoise, purple, orange will also be in for fall 2010. Pencil skirts will no longer be popular as the full skirts will be in this fall and dresses as well. As of fabrics, Velvet for evening wear, Plaid for coats and dresses and lace will be seen this fall. Regardless of what is shown this fall, when buying, make sure you buy what will last long and what you can wear with other pieces, like a great coat.

Slow week

I had other personal things taking me away from blogging. Well, its over now and I am getting back to my sewing. I still have the DVD showing on Thursday and I still making the dress to wear. I am changing my mind. At first I thought about making a one shoulder dress in purple, but I am leaning towards wearing a dress from my 1st classic collection. Don't know yet, but I will let you know by Friday.

hmm its friday already.....

Its friday and I don't have anything new to show. I have all my patterns cut out but haven't had the time to sew. I have a knit black dress, a jeans summer dress to finish and i have been thinking of making a one shoulder dress for MYSELF. If I complete it, I plan to wear it for the DVD Showing of Fall/Winter 2010 RTW Collections. This event is organized by FGI (Fashion Group International) Denver branch which I am part of. I plan to participate in lots of events this year. I guess the key is to Network! Oh by the way, the one shoulder dress will be in purple. I think purple is a cool color.

L'Wren Scott - D designer

I just love L'Wren Scott designs. I bet most of you are used to the well known designers - Dior,Channel, DVF, to mention a few. I think L'Wren designs are very classy and simple. This is a pic of one of her designs from Spring 2010 RTW. She does inspire me.

Another day..........

I finally got my lovely Cotton fabrics in the mail yesterday. I spent the night tossing and turning and analyzing what to do with the neckline for the summer dresses that I am currently working on. I want it to have something unique......perhaps the fabric itself and how it will be combined will say it all. In the meantime, check out the 2 dresses i finished yesterday.

Another week, lots of ideas

I am starting this week by finishing 2 summer dresses. The yellow dress is of Ethnic print, made of 100% cotton. Its a fun summer dress and the other is a simple knit dress to run errands. I drafted my patterns from scratch and made the normal adjustments to fit an american Size 8 or Medium. I will post pics ASAP. Laters....

Yay I am a blogger!!

I figured, i might as well share what I love to do by blogging. I have all these thoughts going through my mind.......what kind of neckline should this dress have, should I use print or plain color fabric, how will it fit??? There is something interesting about finding the right fabric and creating the right clothes for any shape with the appropriate fabric. Since this is my first post, I will simply say that my goal is to share with you what I do in the 'fashion' world. Currently I am working on some spring/summer dresses and I will share the pics as I make them. In the meantime, I spent some time last year, creating a simple classic clothing line. At first my focus was on tall pants, but I gradually added a few things that will make it a complete ensemble. A few of the pieces are shown below. BIG THANKS to my lovely Model Amanda!
