Real Life: Live & Unscripted

When you find the PERFECT fabric!

Every now and then you run across a fabric that LITERALLY makes your heart stop. Of course what makes MY heart stop and YOUR heart stop can be two totally different things, but honey let me tell you about THIS fabric:

The glory that is metallic, houndstooth AND a double knit.

**FAINTS**

When I saw this I INSTANTLY thought of this Michael Kors Dress.

It's not the exact same but it sure is where my mind went lol

Ok, that's it. I'm going to go roll around in my fabric lol.

Toodles!

When you love it make it again. Kwik Sew 3408 Part Deux

So I told y'all that wrap dresses were about to take over my wardrobe I meant it lol.

I got this gorgeous fabric from Metro Textiles when I was in NY in August and it is GORGEOUS.

I knew when I saw it that I wanted a wrap dress. It's just perfect, don't you agree!? lol

This dress photographs whiter than white lol but you can click the first picture to really see the fabric. It's truly stunning.

I decided to go with my colbalt blue bag for a pop of color and my favorite nude pumps. 

I kept my accessories pretty simple. I literally sparkle everytime I move and when the light hits me just right (I actually loved it lol) so simple was best.

There ya have it. This style is perfect for me and I love it. Don't be shocked if you see it in another version soon. Like VERY soon. I think I need a maxi-wrap dress. Yep I do lol.

Toodles!

 

I'm having a love affair with pretty fabric!

**ETA This fabric was ordered from www.fashionfabricsclub.com**

I got my fabric in the mail today!! YAY!!!!!

I walked through the door, threw down the bags I had in my hand and ripped open my package with the passion of a woman missing her lover! LOL

 
This one wasn't EXACTLY what I thought it was going to be but it will make a nice button down top.

 
   

The above two are cotton lawn.  So breezy lol. Good thing it stays hot here until November lol.
 
HOW STUNNING IS THIS WHITE SHIRTING?!?!?!?!? I LOVE THIS!

 
I was SHOCKED when I unfolded this one because when I ordered it, I didn't know it had a border on it. *giggles*

 
*sigh* How pretty is this? All I can see is me making a strapless dress (yes I'm in LOVE with strapless dresses) and still wearing it in the early fall with this:

 
The grey one lol.AND I already have grey fabric that matches it PERFECTLY!? Am I crazy in my thinking?? LOL

 
I think this is my favorite piece. I'm seriously in love with florals. Like really. That white flower is my favorite lol. I can also wear this piece in the early fall with a cardigan.

*sigh*  Can y'all tell I'm in love!? LOL I REALLY AM IN LOVE LOL.

More pretty fabric...

I think I MIGHT have a slight problem lol. Too bad I don't want any help! LOL

   

I fell in LOVE with this black and white print with just splashes of pink.  I have to find the perfect pattern for this. I have a couple in mind, but it HAS to speak to me lol. This one is a cotton lycra, but it has the heaviness of a twill. I'm not good with describing fabrics and the content but I know pretty fabric lol and I LOVE prints lol.
   

BE STILL MY HEART! It was hard to pick a favorite between the two of these. I LOVE the colors in this. This one is also a cotton lycra. Gotta love fabric with a little stretch lol.

These will be special dresses. Special fabric, special fabric shopping trip :)

Now I need to sew LOL.

Ok, more later!
Toodles!

Pretty fabric EVERYWHERE, again lol

I picked up these pieces earlier this week in Nashville.. YUMMOOOOOOO

I ADORE this Italian Silk Cotton!!!!!!!

 

   

It's a busy print, but with the right pattern, it will be FAB!!!!

This Rayon Jersey will be PERFECT for the fall. I already know what I want to make with it lol.

   

This Cotton / Lycra blend has happy written ALL OVER IT. Well, it made ME happy lol.
   

This Silk Dupoini **sigh** I don't know if I will ever cut it lol.
   

I don't know why I'm in the mood to fabric shop lol. I did make a dress the other day, it's just for Kayla and not me lol.

Toodles!

Pretty fabric EVERYWHERE!!! Fabric PRON!!! LOL

How about some fabric p.r.o.n??

**WAIT, WHY DID I JUST REALIZE IT IS JUNE 1ST?! WOW**

I took a little trip out of town the other day and once I finished what I HAD to do lol, I went into a fabulous fabric store. I had to stop myself from having a fit lol.

I couldn't get a cell phone signal in the store but as SOON as I got out I was sending emails....girl look at this fabric!?! LOL isn't this TDF!? LOL. I do believe we both had a fabric-gasam lol.

 
   

I LOVE,LOVE, LOVE this floral jacquard. I love the green in it! (this one I actually got locally, at Joanns)
   

This blue floral is sooo stunning. I almost didn't see it. I saw it folded on the table and was like ohhh what's that! LOL I ran to get the roll and have it cut lol.
   

I have searched HIGH AND LOW for a yellow cotton like this! I think it's a cotton voile. I LOVE IT.
   

Lycra for another swimsuit. I ordered some fabric and when I saw this, I HAD to get it. The fabric that I ordered has been "stashed" lol.
   

I love this pinstripe! I have plans for this one!
  
   

This is my FAVORITE piece!!!! The fabric store is literally jam packed with fabric. I ALMOST didn't see it!!! I'm SO glad I did. It has a black solid border that can either be placed on the top or the bottom.  *be still my heart*

Now, if my sewing mojo would come back, I could sew lol. Might have to do something  quick and easy to get the mojo flowing again lol. I think all the sewing I did for the cruise drained me lol.

Toodles!
