Colorful pieces

Haven't been doing much sewing lately (hence the lack of blog posts), but i did manage to squeeze in this dress and jumper.

 with this dress i just wanted something colorful and fun, I cut strips of fabric and sewed them together. I think it came out good. i still have to hem the bottom but i just wanted to take pics. :)

The back has little pleats and then a black zipper to keep it snug. I usually don't do strapless because i hate when it slides down and flashing the whole neighborhood.... hmm not my thing. lol

I also made this jumper. I found this fabric at 'Angel View' Its a 2nd hand store kind of like A Goodwill. I LOVE that store i find all kinds of goodies in there regularly. There was about 3 yards of fabric and it was $2.99. I think the tag said it was Rayon fabric... Score right??!

I have been wanting to try my hand at making wide leg pants. and i also wanted a jumper. so why not combine it? So this is my first try at it and i think i did pretty good. the pants legs are a little long because i want the shoe covered when i wear heels with them. :) I had to make darts in the waist area because its a little big. 

I get so excited when i make things i just want to share with everyone. 

yayyy meeee!! :)

Enjoy!

Love Mikki
