The LBJ - Little Black Jumpsuit is now the new LBD - Little Black Dress. Sometimes when I'm going out for the evening, I really don't want to wear a dress. But I still want to look chic and evening appropriate. So for this season, I decided to put the LBD aside and create a dressy little black jumpsuit instead! So I commenced...
We invest a lot of time, money, effort and even sometimes frustration into the garments that we make. Are you loving what you sew? If not, then why? This subject has been on my mind because when the seasons change, I always take EVERYTHING out of my closet and do an inventory. I check to see what needs to be donated, what is...

And it's a designer one -- Lialia by Julia Alarcon. She was also profiled on "All on the Line with Joe Zee" last season. The description of this dress...
I love a fun top! And McCall's 6702 is just that! I cut view A. I thought there was something adorable, with the Peter Pan collar, yet edgy at the same time with the open back.
