    The Fear of Leggings: Pattern Review of McCalls 7261

    April 23, 2019 / No Comments

    There are many aspects of my life where I find myself being brave and then I have moments of complete fear. I usually ignore the problem until I can muster up the courage to tackle it, but sometimes that can take weeks such is the case with making a pair of leggings. The last time I made fitted pants they almost ripped on the runway and I have allowed that fear to cripple my creativity when it comes to sewing pants. Last year I only made one pair of pants and I made them so wide that I wouldn’t have to worry about my curves. Now my goal last year…

    Simplicity 8424 Pattern Review: Mesh Knit Pullover Top

    April 17, 2019 / 3 Comments

    Hey Loves! I know it has been a while. I have been working hard on my craft and health lately so I had to put blogging on the back burner for a minute. Good news is that my health is starting to get under control (yeah Zumba!!) and I am seeing the inches come off. You’ll see in the photos from today’s review. I can honestly say this is my new favorite top. I wanted to create something with a little more edge to it as I wanted to show that I can be edgy not just adorable or cute as I’ve heard most of my life. This was a…

    Planning for the Future

    January 8, 2019 / No Comments

    In 2019, I want to go into the year with the mindset of “Why Not” try. Too often we let Nah sayers including ourselves stop us from doing something courageous. We tell ourselves why should I even try when I will fail. We set ourselves up for failure before we even launch. This year I decided “Why Not” start that Web Design company you wanted to start. I have been studying on and off all year and am so close to being done with my first course so “Why Not” finish and do something I’m passionate about. A couple of years ago, I discovered Web Design by accident. I was…

    DIY Printed Chiffon Pull Over Top with Modifications

    October 16, 2018 / No Comments

    Hi Lovies, I have been waiting to write this post for two weeks now. This pattern was on my to-do list since earlier this summer. It was a very popular make, but I wasn’t feeling good over the summer, so I didn’t bother to try. During last months “No TV Challenge” I decided to give this a go. It was still 100+ degrees outside, so I didn’t run the risk of not being able to wear it. My first time wearing it was at the AZ Women’s Expo. I hadn’t been in years and decided to go with my mom.  She raved about the top, which made me feel good because…

    The Fastest/Simplest Way to Make a Bow Tie

    August 28, 2018 / No Comments

    Hey loves, As some of you may know, sewing is a form of therapy that has really turned into a passion for me. When I get something right, it makes my week. And when I get something completely wrong it’s like the world has ended. That’s when the hubby avoids the sewing area at all cost, lol. Well, this is one that I got right. For a couple of years now my father asked me to make him some bow ties. He was the first on my list of many who have asked for me to make them something the minute they found out I could sew. To be honest,…

    McCall 7686 Pattern Review: Off The Shoulder Bell Sleeve Shirt

    January 24, 2018 / No Comments

    I am trying something new this year where I sew 2 -3 garments a month. My goal is to use the fabric that I have been hoarding in my bookshelves and really learn from my mistakes so I can get better. I didn’t want to go at it alone, so I joined a sewing group on Facebook called Sewciety by Kelly H. There are a ton of groups out there, but Ms. Kelly’s is one that stood out to me. The reason why is because I signed up for a sewing fashion show for Mimi G a few years ago. I hadn’t sown anything in years but wanted to put myself…

ON THE SUBJECT OF ME

Introvert Stylist

Introvert Stylist

Hi! Who am I you ask? I am a shy girl who has a sarcastic and goofy side and has found sewing to be my outlet to break out of my shell. I grew up with siblings so I like to share my knowledge with those around me. I look forward to getting to you know you.

Happy Monday! Are we still saying that? I have been a busy bee trying to pack so you’ll have to excuse me while I disappear for a minute. You guys mentioned you wanted more faux leather so I am here to deliver.
This is why you can’t follow what happens on social media so closely. NO ONE’S life is perfect. I meant to get this up yesterday, but waited for Chris to get home to take the pictures. He wanted to practice and my camera was acting up. We took this with my phone.
The pup is at camp and we have the house to ourselves. Oh the shenanigans that will be had. To all those who celebrate Happy Valentine’s Day! 🤗 💋 🤗 💋
Don’t mind us just out here in these streets trying to get our lives together.
In honor of National Wear Red day. I pulled this red number from the archives. Most of you know I suffer from blood clots and pulmonary embolism, which is due to a protein S deficiency that was triggered by taking birth control to control my fibroids. Yeah, I know how wild that sounds, but I am not alone. Blood clots left untreated can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. These diseases cause 1 in 3 deaths in women every year making it the number one health related killer in women. So this is near and dear to my heart.
Here’s a throwback for you. You guys remember this little red number? I’m working with leather again. Be sure to check my stories for a sneak peek of the bag I made.
Trying to find a black owned business to support in honor of black history month? I gotcha covered. Check out these buttons made by my girl @tabithasewer she didn’t like what she saw in the stores like most of us and created these unique and fun buttons. Go check out her page and follow if you aren’t already.
A new month and a Monday has rolled around again and I have to say that I am totally exhausted. I wish the weekend was longer. But who doesn’t? 🤷🏽‍♀️
