For all you seamstresses out there who are feeling creative (the fall weather is doing it to me, too! :), here's a great way to update your look for the season. I love this new Simplicity Pattern 2758! Just so fun and feminine (the blouses are gorgeous, too)! I usually don't go for decorative pockets but these are just adorable - just love the first two views.
And if you need further inspiration, take a look at this great "Sewing Buddy" video from Simplicity. I really enjoyed watching it and love how she covers many of the tips I give in my own classes (although I always mirror the notches out, away from the pattern, so as not to ruin that seam allowance - I might need it later!). Check it out!

OK, so I think this may be the first time I have ever been tagged. Thank you Valerie from The Crafting Freak! *throws a party*
The Rules:
Link to your tagger and list the rules.
List 7 random facts about yourself.
Tag 7 people (and make sure you check back and see what they say!).
If you're tagged, play along and pass it on!
Random Facts:
1 - I have an average 18 pairs of shoes at all times (although some are for costume/dance purposes). I believe that you can never have too many shoes or clothes, as long as you wear them all. If you haven't worn it in a year, pass it on to someone who will (this always makes it easier to get rid of old favorites).
2 - I had an obsession with The Wizard of Oz and Judy Garland years before I even saw the movie.
3 - I used to want to be an opera singer.
4 - My biggest pet peeve is people reading/looking over my shoulder at what I am doing. Go away!!
5 - I just finished writing my first full-length novel - it took me three and a half years...
6 - I do believe in fairies! I do! I do!
7 - I like to break fashion rules. I wear white all year round, not just between Memorial and Labor day. I wear brown and black, black and blue, and brown and blue together. I wear patterns on both top and bottom. The only hard and fast rule for fashion I can think of is, "It doesn't have to match, it just has to 'go'!" As you get more fashion and style exposure you will begin to feel instinctively whether or not something "goes". And yes, I do make mistakes sometimes... ;)

Lastly, I've got a lot of stuff coming up over the next month and would appreciate your prayers. It's getting so I am really having to pick which things are priority and weed the others out. I love this blog too much to give it up, but if I'm not quite so consistent with posts, just forgive me! ;) Be sure to sign up for email updates using the form in the left-hand sidebar - that way you will be able to read each new post straight from your inbox!
I love you all - God bless!
