Maxi Dress? or Maxi Skirt?...... That is the question...lol

Salaam Sisters,

So I finished my dress yesterday and I love the way it came out. The issue now is I'm not sure if I want to cut the bottom and hem it? or should make it a strapless maxi dress? I love love love the way the bottom came out and if I cut I will either have to re-dye it or just leave it with just a little purple. The other option is to leave it as a dress and wear it with a cardigan. I like the dress but I dont know if it makes me look bigger then I already am. I also like the way it look as a skirt but I would lose most of the purple.

I'm so confused what to do!!!!... what do you think? I really really need your help on this one. I'm going to make my "what in my purse" tag video tomorrow ..look out for it


 THE SKIRT LOOK..it's not hemmed yet I just pinned it up but here's an idea of what it would look like

THE DRESS LOOK

What I did so far.. Almost done

ASA Sister,

Yesterday I was able to work on the skirt for about 2 hours .. this is super easy to make but I did have a few issues with the closer, it was a little of a headache but I was still able to fix it .. I actually use hook and eye closer, not the best option but it works.

Here what I did so far.. I still have to sew the hem and I think I'm going to dye the bottom just to give it another look... Tell me what you think!!!

Starting the sewing project .. Fabric

Jummah Mubarak Sisters,

What's your plans for the weekend.... As usual mines is super busy .. Today I dont have much planned, so I'm able to sew my skirt YAY!!!! .. Tomorrow I have a meet and greet to go to at a sushi resturant... yum!! and Sunday is football with the boys.

Last night I went to Joann's and brought the fabric and thread. I wanted a real flowy fabric. I've notice when doing a sewing project it all about the material and prints. I'm not a print type of person so I got a nice solid grey color. I think it's a rayon blend but not 100% sure.
After wrapping it around my waist in the middle of the store ...lol I got 2.5 yards.

Here's pic of the fabric and supplies and me wrapping it around my waist once I got home. I'll takes pics as I go and post them. I hope it comes out well. Wish me luck!!!

Oh I forgot to mention .. I saw a cool tag on youtube that I'm going to do .. It's the  "what's in you purse tag" .. I may do it tonight if Ifinish the skirt.

New Sewing project... Join me !!!!!

Salaam Sisters,

So I still have the sewing fever and really want to sew something else. I was going to wait for the sister online to finish making the tutorial for the Abaya but she is super busy with a new line. I really cant wait for the line to come out, cause I seen a few of her sketches,  and they are FABULOUS.

While I wait for the Abaya tutorial, I decided to make a cute maxi skirt that I saw online. I LOVE LOVE maxi skirts and this one is  easy, cheap, and super cute... If you will like to join me, please let me know!!!


I'm going to buy the fabric today... The actually tutorial is a dress but i'm going to make the skirt part of it . I will also attach the sash. here's the link  maxi skirt by asmallsnippet... isnt it adorable???

Things you need:
-Fabric.. enough to wrap around your waist 1 and a half times
-Thread
-Elastic Thread (make sure it elastic thread and not cord)


Here's a pic.. What you think??

20 Questions Video Blog... Asks me Questions!!!

Salaam Sisters,

Hope your weekend is going well ... Today I went to a beautiful Muslimah event and I had a great time meeting lots of new muslimah and hang with ones i knew already. The speakers were great and the vendors had lots of beautiful items. There was a henna artist there and I got my very first henna tattoo done, here's a pic of it with some of the paste still on it. I will take a pic of it tomorrow when all the paste is off  as well.

So I was thinking of posting a video... I've been wanting to do this for a while but didnt know what to record.. I was trying to get my sister to do a sister tag but she doesnt have a web cam so that hard since we are in two different states. So the next thing I could think of was a 20 questions video which I think will be super fun to do.... Post a question you will like me to answer and I will answer it.  I cant wait to get started. I'm hoping to have the video up by next week sometime. Ask me anything!!!!

Finally Finished my Dress( really shirt)

ASA Sister,

Jummah Mubarak... Do you have any plans this weekend? As for me I will be super busy all weekend. Today I have to take my daughter to the Dr. so she can get a physical to play Lacrosse. She starts practice next week and we are all super excited, cause this will be the first real sport she will be playing. Tomorrow I will be going to a Muslimah Event with the Muslimah Consultation Group this is suppose to be a really big event for Muslimah in ATL, I'm so excited. Sunday My boys have a football game. busy busy busy but I love it!!!

I finally finish my sewing project( well I finished wednesday but didnt take pics until today) that start out as a dress but turned out to be a shirt at the end. I actually like how it came out for my first real sewing project and it something I would wear. I think the leather trim I used gave a little edge, I also rounded the bottom just to give it another look...

Here's what it look like, what you think?

Sewing Project.... Would you join me????

Salaam Sisters,

I decided that I want to start a sewing project today. After looking through a few easy project online I decided to do a ANDA DRESS from the Burda Style website http://www.burdastyle.com/patterns/anda . I decided on this dress cause

 #1 It looks easy and as you know I just started sewing so I only know the basics.
 #2 Cause I thought it will be a super cute modest shirt dress to wear with jeans
 #3 It's a cheap pattern(3.50usd) that I can download at home.
 #4 It work well with cotton material that not expensive.

 I would love love love it if a few  sister can join me on this sewing adventure. I'm going to download the pattern and buy the fabric today but I will wait a few days to start it, just to see if I can get a sister or two to join me.

I will post picture of the material and everything you need for the project tonight... I think this will be really fun.

Here's the link for the pattern again... http://www.burdastyle.com/patterns/anda    the instruction is in the link
You need:
- Pattern
- 2-3 yards of fabric.. (im getting 2.5)
- bais tape
- Elastic(optional)
Almost all material work with this pattern, once you look at the pattern and see the pictures of the other dresses on the site you can get an idea of what kind you want to use .. I'm going to use cotton blend cause there a sale on it at joann's.

Pictures of the dress http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/anda/finished_projects?page=4 ...

 

Oh and I will follow the picture tutorial from this site as well http://grosgrainfabulous.blogspot.com/2010/08/frock-by-friday-monday.html

 Let me know if you will like to join me on this sewing adventure

Pics of my material and Supplies

So I choose a burn Orange color cause i thought it would be pretty for the fall and winter the material is a blended cotton and it was only 1.99usd a yard .. I got 2.5 yards. I got black bais tape for a different color instead of burn orange. I hope it comes out good. I paid under 15.00 for all the supplies. I cant wait to start.
