Swimsuits!!!!

I have never been a fan of swimsuits in my life. I hate trying them on, I hate wearing them, and I hate trying to find cute shorts or coverups to match. Well, today I might have had a change of heart. I am going to make me one or maybe two or three, and my sister one as well because I found the best new website, http://www.fashionfabricsclub.com It has every kind of fabric you would ever need that is cute and very affordable. They also have swimwear fabric, like this very cute black/gray/white polka dot starting at $4.95 per yard which for most people is more than

enough for one swimsuit! From what I can tell shipping is $6.95 for quite a few items. I haven't ordered my fabric yet to know if that changes for every new fabric you add to your cart or not. I wanted a ton of fabric off this site so I'm sure you will too. They even have all kinds of knit which you can't find very often in the local stores. I am toying with the idea of making swimwear as a summer project for adult and kids, if anyone is interested give me a hollar and I will give you a screamin' deal for being a friend of the blog. I will be taking my patterns from my leotard patterns that fits really well. It's very roomy and you don't feel squeezed in. I was very excited and had to share my good fortune with all of you. check out this website and you will not be disappointed, I promise!

Busy, Busy, Busy...

So... I have been working and sewing my little fingers off, but have little to show for it at the moment. I haven't been taking pictures of stuff, and I still have a lot of things to finish. Thank you to all my friends and fam who check back regularly, you are all awesome!

We have a competition coming up where I can take cute pics of all my costumes, and cute girls. I also have lots of ideas for spring and summer decor as well as sprucing up my sewing room.

I will also be making me a new swimsuit for my summer vacation to Cozumel Mexico, and lake powell. I am looking into finding chlorine treated fabric at a great price. once I find a good source I'll let you all know and we can talk about custom swimsuits!!! YEA!

It's also prom and bridal season and I know alterations are a must. Redesigning an old dress is a great way to save money and be resourceful, plus it's lots of fun!!! My price lists are posted on the side bar for alterations and veils so check it out and tell a friend!
