Is it the new sewing room?

Oooh Wee!...I have been creating some super cute clothes!....Some of my sewing friends know that a little while ago I found a cool sewing blog written by a pretty little lady who goes by the name of Mimi G....she creates some of thee nicest things...and she isnt new to this game at all and it shows baby!...anyways, she posted on her blog that she had been checking out some jean maxis....one from True Religion and the other one from Diesel....they are both almost $300.00!!!!!...ummmm, no I would rather have that in fabric and plants....LOL...but the skirt is sooo cute so she decided to create a tutorial so we all could have our own original....(did I mention that this is a FREE tutorial)....boy oh boy did mine come out cute....Here is a link to her blog and believe me you might be on the hunt for a new sewing machine if you dont have one already  http://www.mimigstyle.com/ ....her middle name should be INSPIRATION....I also made a super cute halter top that is a "shirr" thing baby! (in my Austin Powers voice)...I usually take photos and display them but these clothes are sooo cute I have to show them on me....Photos dont do them justice like at all....Well, maybe just a sneaky peek before I debut them....hehehehehehe!

Hi Y'all

Hi folks, I have been trying to space my posts out but I thought I had better write something before too long....I have been doing okay, and the classes are going all right although I have to write a paper EVERY week....my friend says its just to rule out the weak but sheesh!...I finally copped the new Sew It All (volume 4) and I must say I am impressed....there a lot of good stuff to sew up and enjoy, information-stocked, and packed with sewing goodness once again...I have them all now and I literally cant sleep because of it....on a pie chart, sewing would be thee biggest piece of my world...well, besides my life! LOL!....I also picked up the new Sew Stylish (a magazine Threads puts out, soooooo cool and thats my second one of them...do I hear collection?)....I recently organized a virtual sew-along with a couple of family members, just waiting on them to say they copped the pattern and fabric....we are sewing up #1808 from Simplicity's SewStylish line......I have also been doing a buncha other stuff like refashioning and dyeing fabric...did some tie-dye and revived an old halter top to a beatiful purple hue.....Bliss indeed....Well of course I have photos to share because they speak louder than me sometimes...and thats LOUD!....hehehehe talk to you soon!

Sewing is a gateway

Good morning everyone I guess I should say since its 12 am right now where I am...I have been in my sewing room literally all day creating things and doing other little business...I have some good news to share!...One of my friends is opening a boutique in Indiana and she wants to display some of my bags!  How cool is that?...I mean seriously, how cool is that?...and I am due to meet with someone else for her boutique here locally later on today!....I am feeling the sewing love I tell you what!...I love to sew and thats all there is to it....I whipped up a maxi skirt earlier but I didnt take any photos...I plan on wearing it on my birthday so I will take a couple shots of it then....I sewed up another bag from my Tashae line I created...One of my cousins said it reminded her of Hello Kitty!...I thought that was thee coolest thing especially since I have loved Hello Kitty since I was a little girl...at the present I am sprucing up a halter top that was Lavender in color...I used Tulip's Permanent Fabric Dye and now its a pretty violet color....Im putting it in the wash later....school is going well, I only have 5 more courses left!...(the home stretch is killing me though).....I believe I have another purse to share from my Tashae line too but I will have to check the last post to see if I did already...well I dont want to go on and on so I will get to the photos now hehehehe!.....P.S. I really love my new sewing room...I really do....and I have some super cute new business cards!  Yep, sewing has completely taken over my life....and I love it!
XOXOXOXO

The latest bag by me, MsKRS...its called the "Toot" which is a nickname my Mom gave to my daughter when she was a little girl...:)

Do you see Hello Kitty? :)

My dye job for tonight....

Pretty violet purple color....I cant wait to wear it! :)

Yes, Yes!  These are cool!...Tulip products are the best!

The halter that is getting a makeover tonight...the before photo...

also one of the latest bags whipped up from my Tashae line...This one is called the "Nichelle"....

Super cool, new business cards...now get this, they are Pink, AND have pinked fabric around the edges on the front AND the back!...I got the idea for my name because I love pinking shears and look at this card....Sewing is definitely for me....;)  (new business cards courtesy of Vista Print although they were NOT free like they advertise)

Movin' on up

Hey all!....we moved recently to a new house that seemed to be catered to me!...I have a new sewing room!...I will share photos of course at the end of this post....I also had to try it out and completed a totebag/shopper set last night as well....my first creation from this room is very sunny and bright....I love the room...I can close all the doors and just create until my heart's content....(although I dont shut the doors, I like to see what my huny is doing hehehehe).....this house was very dirty when I we moved in so my sewing room was set up last after I cleaned and disinfected this new place....I guess I saved the best for last.....I also started two new classes yesterday as well...I was very busy doing this, that, and the other....I finally have some down time and figured I had better say something before everyone thinks I fell off the face of the Earth!.....im still here and still sewing up stuff....so check out my new sewing room and shopper set.....watch out, the following photos are soooo cool you gotta wear shades!...LOL!
XOXOXOXOXOX

Well looka' there!

Hey yall!...I have been getting poked and stabbed by pins for a few hours but the end result I am very proud of...I am getting better at this bag making thing; I must give myself some credit....My Bag Making Bible is a true asset as I use techniques from the book constantly...on my new bag set, I learned how to make gussets and tried another zipper technique...the new zipper technique makes matching zippy pouch look neater, more profesh (in my girl Lisa Lam's wording)....I wish I had a dressform soooo bad because I know I would have much more clothes to share...I may end up getting one soon...I hope so....I have to go to the stores a little later (Target, Save Mart, Joann's)....my huny promised me the new SewItAll Volume 4 and I am NOT going to let him forget it!...hehehehe!....Well let me share the latest MsKRS' creations, I dont wanna bore you with my rambling....I can talk forever, especially when around good friends and my beers!...ttys!
XOXOXOXOXOX

Hey Hey Hey Folks!
I'm trying to keep up with my sewing and my blog so here goes another ;).....I was trying to come up with something to sew today....I thought about the Style Shopper in Amy Butler's book but I didnt want to part with that much material and interfacing (her bag patterns call for a lot of supplies)....then I thought about teaching myself a new technique out of my faves new book (Lisa Lam) but I got sidetracked looking at Old Navy's site.....While surfing the site (no pun intended lol) , I saw a few totebags with super cool, raw edges, grommets, and applique that I thought was the cutest thing...It was on sale for $10.00 and I would have gladly given them those dollars for any one of the totes they offer....but since I have been blessed to sew, I decided to make my own version of it....It was fun for me too because I got to use some of the supplies that I seldom use in my sewing such as fabric spray and glitter, I didnt have any grommets...that would have been a new skill to add to my resume as well because I have never installed grommets before....tonight I am going to tie-dye some more letters for another similar tote....I am so glad I sew...I can always have something tailored to ME....
XOXOXOXO
~~MsKRS~~

The applique is glittered and the front is spritzed with fabric spray!...I had fun with this bag I tell you what! (in my Hank Hill voice)...:D

The back....

:)

Glitter and fabric spray by Tulip...Good finds and friggin' fun to use!... by the end, I had glittery fingers and overspray everywhere! LOL!

Me + my blog

With all that goes on in my life, I sometimes forget to take advantage of the cool little things in life like my blog.....Its almost like my online diary of sewing and other thoughts I have and I tend to ignore it; but not on purpose....My sewing friends are the best...its sooo "me" that I get to view all of their pretty creations....I wish all the time that at least one of them lived closer....some of them live all the way in Australia and the UK!...the ideas they come up with just simply rock....I even follow a few pages on FB that I cant even understand; but the bags are exquisite.....Well, I just wanted to say "Hi" and show off my new skirt I made the other day....I will perfect the next one....hehehehehe well hopefully.....I have some striped knit fabric I was trying to save for the 4th of July festivities I may attend....I have been looking online at patterns and ideas for inspiration for it....I hope there is enough to make a matching bag; I believe I have two yards of it....
~~XOXOXO~~

Flash face! LOL!....

 I found some very flowy knit fabric at Hancock's the other day when I visited....very comfortable and Summer-y...

Snuck in a pic of my new sunglasses case....it is very basic..I have a few ideas for the next one...:)...

I survived!

Hey yall!...I survived my last two courses and passed them too!...that means I get a little break.....my final grades havn't posted yet but my units show im good!..whew!...(remember, I was taking Statistics)...and I have been taking advantage of that break already by sewing up a few new things...I have been sewing up clothes, (no piccies of my new skirt) but I will share my new sunglasses case and zippy pouches....(did I already show you the one with the kitties?)....I wanted to make a bag but I didnt feel like the dedication today...so I opted to sew a few small things....My daughter also graduated from high school recently as well!....let me stop rambling and show you the stuff...LOL...
XOXOXOXOXOX
~~MsKRS~~

I am soooooo proud of her! :D

Its too windy

Hey yall!...it has been a very windy couple of days so I have been inside....I have thee worst allergies in the world....with finals coming up fast, I haven't had a lot of time to sew....I did manage to make a tote bag though....it was my first applique bag I ever created....when finals are over, I am challenging myself to sew through Lisa Lam's new book "A Bag For All Reasons"....(I love that little lady)...she has some super cool bags in there....matter of fact the first one is a IPad case that is very cute....although I will probably alter it to make it more "purse-y" because I dont own an IPad! LOL....I was also able to get some super cool striped fabric that will be super cute maxi skirts after finals as well!....Hancock's is having a bad arse sale on everything right now...I took advantage......I know I should be writing but I have to sew something first.....hehehehe!...ttys.....
