Ah crunch time... I'm finishing up last minute details like hems, lining, etc. so that I can post photos by tomorrow. I should also have finalized sketches to download--as usual, some of the designs took a life of their own and changed a bit from the original. It wasn't until I started photographing the outfits that I realized some tops looked better with different bottoms so I rearranged some l... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Anybody get a chance to check out today's issue (9/10/08) of Women's Wear Daily? How exciting to have a short little write-up about the contest :0) Its exactly the motivation I needed to continue sewing..... still no further progress on look #4, but at least I have the weekend to conquer it. (While watching the Michigan football game---GO BLUE)! Also just scheduled a mini photo-shoot so I can p... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Change of plans

Since I last checked in I have been crazy busy trying to source more fabric so that I can finalize my sketches and continue sewing. So far I have the first two looks semi-complete and hope to start the third one over this holiday weekend. It hasn't been easy finding the time to sew considering I just started a new job, but it gives me something to look forward to at the end of the day! Once I've ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

THANK YOU :0)

Just wanted to thank everybody who voted for my designs in the ItThings contest. Even though I've had a week to soak it all in, I still can't believe it! I just recently spent some time in Peru where I found lots of inspiration for both fabrics and design. I had a chance to buy some fabric this weekend and am excited to continue brainstorming. I hope to start sewing my first ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]
