I Just LOVE Style Pantry!!

Folake Huntoon has the greatest style - the way she pulls her style together is amazing. It's sophisticated, yet sexy. I like this cute, brown knit dress; so much so, that I drafted a similar two-piece version in grey.

I took a shirt that I owned and outlined the bodice on drafting paper and added the cuffs to it. Then I created a pencil skirt with an elastic waistband. Simple and elegant. Really liked the way it turned out!

This was one of my first self-drafted pieces. I think I will continue to create making my own clothes without using commercial patterns.

What do you think?

Few of my DIY projects from 2013

Just a little inspiration to share and to continue to challenge myself in everything I do!

How I discovered my passion

My name is Kelly and my love....my passion is sewing.  My mother started this beautiful craft and I have fell right behind her.  She didn't even realize she was mentoring me. My mother's creative style embarked a sewing business which was called "Bags&Totes". The business was awesome, she created personalized travel bags and I so remember a wrap shower robe too. I can say during that time business was great and very busy--so busy she just couldn't fill her orders fast enough. Sadly last year my mother passed away and I have just realized that I am carrying on her passion.  I am so led to do the same....create bags and of course clothes! So, I present to you my blog Sewninluv!!
