Do you have a memory of your happy place when you Do you have a memory of your happy place when you were a child? I’m taking a class right now and that was our assignment yesterday. When I think about childhood comfort, we moved around a lot but my gramma’s kitchen was my happy place because that’s where all the sewing and creating happened. I tried to bring the feeling together with #collage using different materials. What’s your happy place from your childhood?

Day 4 of #memadestylingchallenge is dress it down. Day 4 of #memadestylingchallenge is dress it down. I made this skirt for a wedding last summer and just love the skirt so much I figured it would look cute dressed down. I still want to cut it so it’s all middie length but haven’t gotten around to it. The top is a modified #vernazzatwopiece

Day 3 for #memadestylingchallenge wacky Wednesday Day 3 for #memadestylingchallenge  wacky Wednesday and all the bright colors. I was having fun with my bright green and pink hula hoop. For my shirt- it’s another #belcarrotop and a basic gathered skirt in #adventuretime #fabric #memade #handmadewardrobe #sewing  #memadewardrobe #sew #sewingismytherapy
Day 2 of #memadestylingchallenge is #patternmixing Day 2 of #memadestylingchallenge is #patternmixing I think this is my favorite style to wear. Fun tip: If you pair a small print with a larger print, the small print reads as a neutral. So you can spice up your look. You can tone it down or you can tone it up! Wait till you see tomorrow’s look! So many crazy colors.
