My Sewing Room

Hello!
So, this is where it all happens! I finally decided to quick my children out of the game room we have on the second floor and took it over with all my sewing treasures, I never realized how much stuff I had until it finally happened. I am beyond pleased with having a dedicated space, hardwood floors make it so much easier to clean up after I'm finished and all the light I get during the day is just lovely. The only downside is that it gets hot, I mean, I call my sewing area the sweat shop during the Texas summer for a reason, but the ceiling fan sure helps. So here is my photo overload because I am really super happy with the space. Enjoy!

Some Target cubbies were perfect for some of my fabric.

Love my sewing tables, they are not only perfect but have enough room to store fabric and notions.



Notions and Trims, in clear glass containers because I like to see them all!...and to help the environment of course!


And my first pastel painting to add a personal touch!

The many looks of Tweet la Vie

Hi There,
I really hope your days are going as great as mine, at least in Texas warm weather lasts a while, so this is the time of the year I sew the most, and this time I used Michael Miller fabrics Tweet la Vie collection to create a batch of awesomeness!
This fabulous collection includes a couple of prints with metallic effects and coordinating soft prints that create beautiful and feminine looks.
First on the cutting table was a Norah dress by Mouse House creations (Link to Pattern HERE). Have I mentioned this is the first PDF pattern I completed? The collar and A line cut are vintage perfection!


Next, I got invited to test Violette Field Threads Mila dress and romper pattern (Pattern HERE) and couldn't think of a better collection for the looks the pattern offers, a beautiful romper or dress.



The cherry on top was Made for Mermaids Quinn pattern, the perfect opportunity to use the last bit of this collection that I had left and using my ruffler foot for the A-Line tunic option, adding the included side pocket pattern piece for detail. The look was just precious! Did I mention this pattern has a mama version too? Both patterns are available HERE
A full review of this pattern is also available on my post HERE





This fabulous collection is brand new and available now.

Love,

Paola
