DIY Kelly Green/Gold Top + Dark Denim + Bebe Wedges

Happy Tuesday Darlings!

What can I say...Im so tired and excited all at the same time. I am on the grind and trying to keep up! Yesterday I had a great meeting with a seamstress who I am thinking of hiring to start handling some projects I am working on and so that was awesome! although I had such a massive headache yesterday and kept trying to work through it, I almost cried like a baby...LOL! But I am feeling much better today and refreshed!

DIY Wrap + DIY Wide Leg Slacks (Pic Heavy)

V1200 Pants & M6168 Wrap
I have made both of these items in the past and the links will take you to those posts.

Well I have struck a nerve in my last post, LOL! My intention is to show that although extremely flattered sewing for others is just not what I enjoy and sewing is my hobby NOT how I make a living so I like to keep it fun, taking on clients makes it not fun, for me anyway. 

I get my joy from exciting, inspiring and motivating others to want to learn the craft of sewing, It is so rewarding! so if you need advice, have questions or just need a little kick in the butt, I am your girl! If you need something sewn, I am not your girl, LOL but I still love ya'll!

Kelly Green Slacks
Inspired by these $198.00 Alice + Olivia Slacks I pinned

This pattern is my TNT for wide leg slacks. I spent a lot of time the first time I made these to get the fit right because pants can be tricky if you don't fit properly. Now I can sew them without a single fitting since I have made them at least 3 times, LOL

I like the fit of the pants because they come to my natural waist and although in the pattern envelope the slacks are not fitted through the hips I made the adjustment for my personal preference.

Wrap It!  Love This Pattern!
M6168 is my go to easy mindless sewing project! because I can never have enough of these!

I used a fantastic sweater knit I got from www.trimfabric.com, this pattern is easy-peasy for sure; it just has a lot of hemming but it is a winner. 

How I Wore Them
F21 Belt, Charlotte Russe Necklace, Various Jewelry
My nail polish is Wet & Wild "Candy-Licious"
