Hey, hey, hey again....I have another look for you guys.  Now this look is quite different than my usual little cocktail dress.  I got this inspiration while playing around during Labor Day.  While I was not heading to Eastern Parkway for the West Indian day celebration, I still wanted to represent my country that day.  BARBADOS.....YES!!!!  So I got one of my Barbados t-shirts cut off the sleeves and the neckline then just decided to cut up the bottom. This is how it turned out.

 I liked what it turned into so much that I decided to carry the design further.  So this is what I made.  What do you think?

I hope you are all enjoying my new blog and some of my fashions.  As the weeks go by, I will continue adding more of my work.  However, beyond being a seamstress and applying my creative genes to fabric, there is a deeper spiritual side to me.  It's an individual who loves the Lord and spends her Saturdays with Christ.  Yes, I am Seventh Day Adventist and I enjoy honoring the Lord's sabbath from sundown on Friday until sunset on Saturday.  After all, God create this world in 6 days and rested on the sabbath day.  The Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it (made it holy.). So, have a good weekend.  As for me, I will be......

I usually do not make dresses with patterns though I am trying to be disciplined enough to do so but this dress was made without a pattern.  In fact it was a trial dress.  I wanted to see if I was able to create a hi-lo dress.  So, here is my first hi-lo in this beautiful pattern.  I like the hi-lo concept and thought this turned out well.  So here is my Hi-lo maxi dress action.  Model: Peggy

It is so rare that I make a dress for myself but recently I found this material at Save-A-Thon and fell in love with it.  I love my fabric stores in Manhattan but Save-A-Thon never fails me.  I love that place.  This fabric is a thick stretch cotton in animal print and I have paired it with a belt.  I made this dress in about 2 hours.  Tell me what you think.

I was at one of my favorite fabric stores in Manhanttan and I found this fabric.  It had not even hit the showroom yet and I made sure to grab some of it.  I thought it made the perfect summer dress.  It is a bright yellow with black flowers -- doesn't sound too great in words but definitely beautiful in pictures.  Now, because I am excited about my new blog, I am also going to attach the video I made of me making this dress.  This video is on my youtube channel DarcyRo4u.  So below is the dress and also the link to the video.  Model:  Satara

 

 

Okay, now let's see if I can truly attach the link to the video.  This way you can learn how to sew this dress for yourself.

I love you for watching......Ok, now I sound like Wendy Williams.

 

If you could not tell, I just created this blog so I am quite excited about sharing some of my hard work.  Here is another one of my pieces.  This is in fact the first dress I have ever made to wear to a wedding.  It is a slightly stretch fabric with some bedazzling around the waist and a floral piece (also bedazzled by me) on the shoulder.  Tell me what you think. 

Vintage Polka Dot Dress

I got this really great fabric a couple months ago in Michigan and immediately I knew I wanted to create a vintage inspired dress with a pop of color.  So here is what I eventually came up with.  This dress was just showcased in a fashion show at my church.  Tell me what you think.  Model: Satara
