Sewing mends the soul. . .

This section will be dedicated to all the crafts I make through sewing.  Having taken a sewing course at Joann's a few years ago, I decided to show off the things that I make.  Enjoy!

Tanktop project update!

I've completed 2 tanks for my trip to Hawaii!... 

Halter Tops

The weather's getting warmer and I've had the hardest time trying to locate the PERFECT halter top.  I've gone to ever store I could think of, but none of them seem to have what I am looking for.  They are all either too low-cut (inappropriate to wear to work or anywhere for that matter) or just plain unflattering!  I finally got fed up last week and ordered this cool pattern by Kwik Sew for $11.99.  I think these tops are very flattering and classy!  These designs are quite simple to make and so I'll be making a lot of them!  I'll take a few of them on my vacation to Hawaii this summer, so I'll pick a couple of tropical prints at Joann's this weekend!  :)  Once I am done, I'll take pictures and post them for you to see.  ;)  What a great sewing project this will be!  Stay tuned!

Love,
Torri ;)

Japanese Yukata

I'm a little bit infatuated with Japanese culture.  I've always wanted a Yukata or Kimono, but they were very expensive to order online.  I decided a few months ago to make my own.  So I went to Joann's and picked out this lovely material and decided to try my hand at it! Look what I made!  I'm so proud of myself!
