Hello....So I took this challenge this week to make a dress out of Vogue patterns V8848. I must admit it wasn't quiet easy for a new sewer, I have only started learning to sew last summer 2012!!.. in this project,  I learnt many things though! in particular the sides where tricky (pivoting stitch, that was my problem). But got it at the end ;). This is the envelop.

I can see what the adjustments are.. the arms are not a problems as i just wanted to see how they look, which i am not having in my future dress, they will be a lot shorter.

I am going to make a dress soon, and see if I can match this brilliant version, so beautiful well done!

I came across this beautiful Reversible bag  video in YouTube by Debbie Shore, and  I thought it is amazing, I didn't wait too long to have a go. so here is Take one :).
You will need three different  types of fabric measured as follows:
The outside piece 19 inches across and 10 deep cut 2, and another two from a different colour fabric.
Top part 13 inches across and 4 deep cut four pieces;
The handles 20-22 across and 3-4 deep cut 2 pieces.

and here is the video :) Happy sewing!

I am loving these workout...

Hello every one and happy 2013. Hoping that this year will  bring more health, wealth and happiness to all of you, and peace to the world.

I have attended a class recently and made this beautiful card creating a little scene it is actually very easy (now) just need to follow a picture guide that comes in the kit. I am now going to make some other wonderful landscapes.
