DIY Circle Skirt Tutorial + Birthday Celebration

Yesterday I celebrated 28 years of life, YAY!!!  This year I wanted to keep it simple and do a date with just my hubby, so we celebrated with dinner at Luck 32 and a photo session afterwards! Their outdoor dinning is so serene and naturally decorated with greenery that I had to take advantage  and get pictures of my circle skirt I put together.

DIY McCall's Pattern 6556

This McCall's pattern was the first pattern I began sewing with.  I saw EASY in the description and decided to go for it.  Now, I was a true beginner, so it wasn't as easy as I had imagined.  It took me a couple of days, but I completed it and it looked amazing!!

DIY Visual Board

 I love scrolling through pictures! It's one of my favorite pastimes.  It's something about visual discovery that inspires me to create and design. I am a visual learner, so going through pictures helps me to piece new ideas and potential DIY's together.

I had the pleasure of attending a seminar with one of my dear friends this weekend.  She expressed how important it is to create a visual board to draft out our goals and dreams.  So, thanks to her impression, I have decided to create one.

Blossoming Blazers

Spring is here and we are finally getting over the winter hump in North Carolina! I've never been so excited to put away boots, coats and socks, ugh! Spring is one of my favorite times of the year because for one, I'm a spring baby. Secondly, I love to see nature come to life all over again! It's something so beautiful about watching the flower buds open up and begin to reveal the beauty that's been brewing all winter.

DIY Maxi Wrap Dress

I love this dress!!! I was blog browsing yesterday and came across this tutorial on Cotton and Curls' blog.  I love her blog because she makes DIYing super easy.  Using commercial patterns can be frustrating for a novice seamstress. Trust me, I've had my share of mess ups with patterns, even the easy ones!

DIY Sweatpants with Sash

Happy Spring!! I wish I could've said that last week, but unfortunately I was suffering from the inconsistent weather that we've been having here.  I am happy to say that I am feeling the effects of Bronchitis waning and I am eager to post my DIY for you guys!

DIY Leopard Pleated Skirt with Pockets

It's Friday...Yay!!  I've been a little under the weather this week, so I can't wait to get some rest and get well!

Today's look was inspired by a pleated chevron skirt I found on Pinterest. I tried making a pleated skirt before, and it was cute but, it didn't look the way I'd envisioned.  So, I decided I would take another shot at it.  After researching, I came across a few tutorials that seemed easy enough, so off to Hobby Lobby I went.
