This weekend was a hectic one for me to say the least. My weekends are my "homemaking work days" and this one was heavy spring cleaning, so I was wiped out by Sunday's end yesterday! However, I was still determined to squeeze in some sewing time on my latest designs. I decided to make my giraffe satin fabric into a simple A-Lined straight skirt. A-Lined straight skirts are in fashion this season which is perfect for me since those kind of skirts work well on me. I finished it and modeled it with a spring/summery white blouse accented by a leopard fashion belt that a friend gave to me. I'm happy with it and it's very comfortable!
I also worked on my rose satin ladies top that I've been designing. I did NOT completely finish it, but I have the main base of it done! I will be adding embellishments to it that I honestly haven't completely decided on yet which is why I didn't finish it yesterday. I'm thinking of adding a sewn on fabric rose to the front, or having someone knit a red cardigan to wear with it. I have lots of ideas and options, just haven't decided which way I will go yet to finish the design. I modeled it with a simple black skirt with a sheer top layer for the spring/summer feel and I chose dressy flip flops as the shoes to give it a more in season relaxing look. High heeled pumps could also be worn with it giving it a more dressy feel. In the meantime, here's me modeling the base of my design. It's such lovely fabric!
Hmmm... it's just not normal to see you in anything that isn't leopard.

Still staying in the animal print family. So stylish and classy!
