ReplyDeletemimi i love you i want to make a wrap dress but i dont know were to get some good fabric !!!!!please help give me some websites or something lol
ReplyDeleteMimi I just discovered your blog and I love it! I watched you log on the maxi skirt and I can't wait to make one. I do have one question. Do you have a pattern for your maxi skirt with the belted sash? I know that you used a pattern for the skirt and added the waistband, pockets, belt loops, and sash. Since I am new to sewing I'm not sure I can freestyle just yet.
ReplyDeleteHi~
ReplyDeleteI'd like to order a skirt I noticed you said you'll only make 20! I'm I toooo late?
Hi Mimi~
ReplyDeleteI'd like to order the skirt..you said you will only make 20 am I to late?
Yes and No, lol
DeleteI actually ended up taking close to 30 orders and quickly stopped, LOL but I do have a waiting list that started so if you want the skirt I can send you a paypal invoice and when you pay I will put your name on the list. It will be 3-4 weeks before you get your skirt so if you dont mind waiting let me know and Ill invoice you.
Need to know:
Full Name
Address
Color Choice (black/yellow/red/teal)
once pay you can send me the measurement for your waist and length (waist to floor)
email me directly at mimigstyle@me.com and Let me know how you want to proceed ;-)

ReplyDeleteWhen I found your blog I was instantly in love with your still and your love of sewing. I sewed before, but I gave it up. But your blog has ignited my love for sewing again and I purchased a new sewing machine yesterday. I can't wait to make a few of your items.
Thanks and have a blessed day.

Just wanted to say I made my first maxi skirt today - love it! Already have some other stash fabric lined up to make another. You know how you have stash fabric just sitting there waiting for the perfect find - well, this was it! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm a teacher and I'm going to wear it to our awards ceremony - bet I get some compliments!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog hate that I'm so late with finding out about your blog and that lovely skirt. Anyhoo you have truly inspired me to go find a sewing class this summer. Hope you enjoy your holiday...
ReplyDeleteMimi this dress reminded me of your style, I would love to see you DIY this dress with your own unique twist.

I just discovered your blog via Pinterest and I am so inspired. I just started sewing a few months ago because many of the clothes made for full-figured women (size 18) are often frumpy and the nice stuff is really expensive so I can't afford to buy all of the time. I just wanted to say that I really dig your style and planning to download your sewing tutorial soon.
ReplyDeletePeace and Blessings,

Hi Mimi,
ReplyDeleteI just purchased the tutorial. I cannot wait to make the skirt. I'm so psyched!

Hello Mimi,
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog by accident and I am now addicted. I check in each day to get some fashion inspiration. I like in the UK and have not across a blog likethis by a woman of colour. Keep up the good work. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Hi Mimi!
ReplyDeleteYour blog has inspired me! I've always wanted to learn how to sew and you've given me the push to get started...buuuut that's the question lol how do I start? Classes? Online tutorials? what do you think? Would love your advice :)
Hi Mimi
ReplyDeleteI would like to make the maxi pants suit you have... how ever I want to use the Suede like material... Do you think this will be too heavy to drape? I have made the maxi with a beautiful leave print with a color block twist. All off of your tutorial and my own creative mind. Please let me know what you think about the suede like for the maxi pants.
Thanks a bunch and keep turing up more ideas for me!!! ;)

Hello Mimi!! I am actually very new to the "fashion world" growing up as a tom boy lol but i was looking at a few websites and facebook pages and i found an outfit of yours that i LOVED! I found your OOTD's (im in love with all of them lol) but i cant seem to find one outfit that i ran across on a fb page. You have on a animal printed scarf, dark blue jeans, some tan/camel colored open toe heels and this white shirt that is REALLY LONG in the back and shorter in the front. i LOVE THAT OUTFIT!! i wanted to know, did u make that shirt or did u purchase it somewhere? And if u made it, do u show how u did it anywhere? im soooo excited about it and i want to make one before it starts snowing! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm certain we share the same favorite color. And you too rock the heck out of it! Is green your color? And your legs are to die! No lesbo :0) great job Mami, with everything. Kudos!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome site MiMi, I figured out how to post, ignore my email:)
ReplyDeleteI have one request, can you take a picture of your closet? I bet it's organized so sweet! I love everything you wear!
Amy
You are freakin frackin amazing! A week ago, I snagged the red jeans and jean shirt and wore it (with black suede round toe pumps and a black and tan tribal like belt) to a Chrisette Michele concert and got pretty good feedback! Thanks for the inspiration. I believe I may have "borrowed" another style from you as well. I'll see if I can tag it in Facebook. Continue to do great work because there are many who are watching and can use the inspiration! I'll try and get my sewing machine out of the storage and start on the simple things like pencil skirts! LOL

ReplyDeleteHi Mimi,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say that I love your blog you posted today and thank you for the styles that you show us all everyday.
Hi Mimi,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and your tutorials but I have not seem any new tutorials lately. Is it possible for you to make a tutorial for sewing in linings? I want to make myself a jacket but I do not know how to sew in a lining.
By the way love your new site

Hi....I love your style & sewing ability. I'm in the process of starting to sew as a beginner. Would you recommend me purchasing the above listed sewing machine type to sew toddler bow ties/adult bow ties & toddler cardigans? Thanks!
Hi so sorry I try my best to get to everyone. I would recommend going with the Brother CS-6000i for $150 That machine lasted me YEARS when I bought it for my students to work on.
DeleteOk that's fine I know you've been busy. Sorry about your loss. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi, love how you put together your outfits and the different colors you mix. I am learning through you, how to step outside the box because all I wear is black and brown. I bought some burgundy wedge heels with a brown flap on the front and brown trim. What colors would you mix with those?
ReplyDeleteI love love love your blog... You have inspired me so much. And by the way your body looks amazing (six kids) I'm pretty short and was wondering how tall are you.. I would like to do the maxi look but always figured I was too short. I am a newbie and really would like to get my feet wet (I'm going to start with the straight lines first :-). Anyway, thanks for a great blog, your style tips and just inspiring me to not be afraid of color or my style.
ReplyDelete~Tee
Thank you so much Tee!
Deletexoxo
Mimi I will continue to encourage what you do. I'm also going to try to make the skirt that you posted with the fabric. You are an awesome and down to earth woman.
ReplyDeleteHey Ms. Mimi
ReplyDeleteLove, love love ur style and the skirts are adorable. You're so tiny and petite like my niece, I on the other hand am not, I want to make the wide leg pants and regal maxi skirt. I'm 5ft 9.5 on a good day, & super curvy. I'm wondering if I need to make adjustments on the length?. I'm a better knitter than sewer, but I'm willing to give it a go. whatcha think?
PS: Have a fab New Years an stay safe.
Looove your blog! I've sewn for myself and professionally for years, and really enjoy seeing how others create. Plus your links - reminded me of when I'd make trips to LA. 9th and Maple was my Nirvana!!! I'm going to bookmark, so I can take a better look over the weekend. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi, the post with the pocket pencil skirt, the link for the shirt you have listed doesn't work. Nothing appears on the page when you click on the link. Where else can I find that shirt?

ReplyDeleteHello Mimi, I am ready with the payment for the event...what do I do next???
ReplyDeleteHello Mimi, I wanted to say that you are very, very talented, but I'm sure that you've heard that before. I do have a question for you, no I am not asking you to sew for me. LOL! I really like your style, but sometimes funds can be limited and we as women want to dress cute and dressing cute is not always cheap.
ReplyDeleteSo my question is "If you had a $100 budget to buy clothes, shoes and accessories, how would you spend it?" Would you make the clothes or would you buy them and if possible can you show us how to style on a $100 budget.
Hey Mimi,
ReplyDeleteI love your style!!!! I am 52 years old, have no experience sewing but, have to say that you have inspired me. I am recently divorced, have lost over 100lbs and now want to be "cute". It's till cold here in Chicago so Hopefully I'll have time to crank out a couple of skirts at least.
Any suggestions for true beginner patterns? Thank you in advance!
Peace and Blessings,
Shirl
Hi Gorgeous!!! I LOVE your blog! I was wondering where you get your fabric. I really like the striped fabric you used for the easy pencil skirt. Lovely fabric is limited around these parts so I was hoping you could point me to a great online site. Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi- I discovered your blog last year on Pinterest, and instantly became a fan. I have just finished reading all of your entries (took me a few months) and let me just tell you that you are an insipiration. I haven't dusted off my sewing machine yet (that's coming), but you've shown me how to rock a lot of the clothes I already have and how to accessorize as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! P.S. You have also motivated me to quit smoking too! YAY! :-D
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. Your tutorials are great. I will be purchasing a sewing machine in a couple of days and can't wait to make the maxi skirt using the tutorial you have provided. Is it possible for you to make a tutorial for the Bermuda shorts? I live in Texas an those would be great and come in handy.
Hello Mimi.... I love all your outfits....but my husband is the one who can actually sew! I am looking to purchase him a new machine and possibly a serger.... Can you fill me in on the machine that you're currently using???? I would love for him to be able to take his creations to the next level!!! Thanks a bunch xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHie Mimi, please how da i get the pants you posted for Happy mother's day?
ReplyDeleteReally. Did you read the post? It's in the post and linked.
