Forever 21 is at it, AGAIN

Gwen Stefani Sues Forever 21

I do understand that mockery is one of the best forms of flattery, but to just FLAT OUT steal someone's logo and call it your own? I still don't understand out they are getting away with all that they are doing (stealing designs and selling them as their own).....one day it will catch up with them.

Moved post from 4/13 - G-Street Fabrics - The Devil!

In the words of Erica B., "ooooooh, I LOVE a sale". Well, I've started back sewing, again, and G Street Fabrics has a sale where you have an additional 25% off an already reduced item. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL, I have a few patterns laying around with no fabric and I just happened to find the following FABULOUS fabric:

First we have this WONDERFUL, orange silk with a linen tweed. I plan on making the dress with the silk and the jacket with the linen tweed.

Next, we have the remnants of a cute polyester fabric. I plan on making one of the dresses pictured with it. (The fabric cost me less than $10!)

I found this nice designer, polyester, sheer fabric remnant (the 3 yards cost me less than $15!). I think I'd like to make the dress pictured on the right with it, but I can't choose the lining color for it. I was thinking of making the bodice of a black crepe fabric, but I have NO idea what color for the lining of the skirt.....Hmmmm......ideas?


Oh, what do I make with this beautiful printed silk I found...
Anyone who lives in the Maryland, DC, or Northern VA area MUST check out G Street Fabrics! I took my Godmother there last summer and she stayed for 2 hours! LOL......

Happy sewing!!

Moved post from 3/19 - Pattern Sale at Hancock Fabrics...

LAWD, help me!! This weekend (3/23/07 through 3/25/07), Hancock Fabrics is putting ALL of their Vogue Patterns on sale for $3.99. These patterns retail for $20+ EACH, but Joanns and Hancocks regularly have them for 40% off. BUT (I know you don't start a sentence with BUT), $3.99 is a great value!

I've been eyeing the pattern above for about 3 weeks now. I saw some BEAUTIFUL orange silk fabric in G Street Fabrics that would make that dress a KNOCK OUT and a nice orange, green and blue tweed linen fabric for the jacket....hmmmmmmmmm.....
