Since the wedding....

I have missed stitching.., putting pieces together... Before the wedding, a friend of mine told me she was having her traditional wedding and sent me the fabric for the event. Traditional weddings are part of a Nigerian wedding culture in which the groom pays the dowry for hi bride... It is a big festive before the wedding...

When I saw the fabric i loved the prints and design but I wasnt sure how to design cause I didn't want to waste the fabric or lose it... So this is the idea I came up with... I am going through a phase of one-shoulder dresses and loving it...

my wedding day...

This is what has kept me from blogging and sewing... But I am coming back...

Spring is here....

I am so excited... Let all the minis out spring is here.... YAAY!!! My excitement has gotten the best of me this afternoon... I have been dying to wear this LITTLE DRESS I made... I can't wait to be done with the wedding so I can get back to real sewing...
Everything about this dress scream romance to me... so i decided he is taking me out on a date in 30 minutes he just doesn't know it yet and will go for a long walk holding hands swinging side to side... We might even steal a dance all because of this dress...
I love to wear it with different belts to cinch the waist... it brings out your shape better...
