Happy New Year.....

My soul is still in the Maya Riviera so I did not finish my sewing projects......during this past year I changed my blog name........I should have thought that out more as I did not know I would lose most of my followers & all my photos.........I am still in the process of adding them back!  I am still very much a novice at sewing but I am still enthusiastic about learning so its all good............I was  featured on Burdastyle......that was a honor for me!

One of the best things about this blog is you.......readers....who leave comments......emails & share with me little parts of your life.......so I thought I would share with you my 3 fave projects from 2011.......my feather trim Las Vegas Little Black Dress......

my Snow White Cape.....I also made the skirt & top & this is what I wore last New Years Eve.........I was really into sewing capes this past year...........

my Snowball Dress was a fun project to sew & wear..........I am also having fun on twitter at ohsoDenise if you want to tweet!

Wishing all of you a very Happy New Year!

Mayan Riviera little black dress....

I finished my little black dress for Mexico just in time............I wanted a backless type of dress so this is a combination of a McCall's pattern (I don't want to say which one as it looks nothing like it) & my own design......

the front bodice is a simple cowl with an built in bandeau bra.......



the back part I made a mistake but covered it up by sewing a bustle......it is hard to take pictures of the black silk jersey fabric.......this fabric is great as it can be crammed into a suitcase & looks great when you arrive at your destination........my made by me crochet fringe bag was the inspiration for this dress......

Sew you later!
