Pure! :-O ;-} :-D

Two weeks and one and a half transformations later, here's the white jumper!
(Ok. I just realized the title on my last post is crazy. It's supposed to be "Jump to It!"...Y'all coulda told me! But I'll leave it, cause I like how it looks. :-)


The pieces hanging in the back are the ends of the make shift belt tied around my waist. Also, the person who'll be wearing this is much taller than I am , so her leg length will take up some of the excess vertical baggage that I'm holding up.

Whew! This was my first time making a jump suit, and working with this white, fragile fabric may have ruined any future considerations I may have had for making another.

Probably not, though. :-)

**********

*Siiiigh* I still love this song like I did the first time I heard it 10 years ago.

Ten Years!! And I remember who was around and where we were when I first heard it.


Mmmmm...mmmm...mmmm. It never gets old.

peace!

Jmpt to It!*

I'm in the process of creating a white version of this for someone...










...and decided to transform this pattern (pink version) by McCall's to be suitable for the above style.



Not only because I wasn't in the mood for making a jumpsuit pattern from scratch (which is likely due to the fact that I was never given the person's exact measurements ), but also because it's a good exercise in pattern transformation. Store-bought patterns usually annoy me to no end, so I'm game for disregarding their rules and doing my own thing.

Results coming soon...

Been hearing and grooving to this a lot lately...



peace!

Dance With Me!

Skiiiiiiiiiiiiirt!!!



Those of you following me on Facebook already know how thrilled I am about this.









This was made for my friend Janine. It was her idea. I just brought it to life. My first time making tiered skirts (I made her a brown as well), and I'm very pleased with the outcome.

*siiigh* love. It makes me wanna twirl and dance around and around!

**************

Every now and then a song'll come along and just hit me like....BAM!!!

This one by Fantasia is one of those. I love it. Something about the beat and the way the song flows that moves me everytime. O.k. I know it's not new, but thankfully they don't wear out on the radio here, so each time I hear it on there it's like a treat.

be back soon(er)!!!

peace!
