A skirt that flirts around the city

this skirt was made at the beginning of summer... i love the simplicity of it... it is so chic with a boyfriend jacket and a tank top and some nice ballerina shoes.... however on this occasion, i wore it to Atlantic City on an impromptu trip with hubby.... we are so fond of that... enjoy the adventures of the flirting skirt....





the skirt goes everywhere even on the beach!



with my cousin about to go about the city...

Times a-wastin'

I can't believe it has already been three months since my last post.... where has time gone? well I have not an excuse on my mind except that i am a terrible blogger... :-(
I made a few dresses for myself and some friends to wear to a friends wedding and kinda sad that wedding season is coming to an end, I cant wait for Christmas season so that I can stitch some more.... i have made a lot of progress however with the whole sewing thing... I am now sewing for other people... how do I make time between sewing, work, and blogging? one gotta suffer and unfortunately it is the blogging part :-(

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...
