Yesterday was my 30th...yes 30th birthday! I think I'm still in shock but I truly think that the best years are still to come...so bring it 30's!
Yesterday morning I was awakened by a chorus (my mom, dad, sister, nephew, brother, sister-in-law, niece, husband, and daughter) singing "Happy Birthday To You" with a breakfast tray in hand containing coffee, muffins and birthday gifts.
The one from my husband, however, couldn't fit on the tray...
Can you believe it! He got me a dress form! This takes things to a whole new level...a very cool level!
You may be wondering why I said "Watch Out Fashion Star" and not Project Runway, both are shows that I just can't seem to get enough of these days. And in my assessment of the two, Fashion Star is all about creating "ready to wear" clothing and Project Runway is about creating fashion trends...not necessarily things you'd put on to run errands. I'm more of what I like to call a comfort clother ;) If it ain't comfy don't bother!
So get ready to say the words "hey isn't that the girl who had that little tutorial blog?" when you see my face on a season of Fashion Star ;)
Now I just need to find time, oh and figure out how to use it!
Wish me luck!
What an awesome gift! Happy 30th to you. Mine is right around the corner and I like your outlook on the 30's :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you enjoy your upcoming birthday too :)
DeleteNot that I have seen fashion star (sometimes I wish I had cable) but I am sure you can make it there one day- good luck! My hubby bought me a dress form for my 30th too- how funny! It was one of the best gifts he has ever given me, I am sure you will love yours!
ReplyDeleteand Happy Birthday- Shannon
Who needs cable? I don't have it either I just catch up on the internet :) Those two shows are so inspiring to me, I just wish they showed more techniques so I could learn while I enjoy the program...ha ha! And that's just crazy that you got a dress form for your 30th too, such a great gift!
DeleteI can watch online??? I better figure this out- and get caught up on years of missed shows. We use netflix and I have never seen any of the shows on there...I better get with the program over here!
DeleteHappy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're the most sew-smart gal i know, so, if possible, Could you put together a pattern for a cute lil' 80's dress? Or if you know of any good patterns out there, please lend me a hand. Email Me! <3

Well I must say I'm flattered that you have so much confidence in me and my abilities :) I think though that your best option is going to be to find a pattern to purchase. I did a google search and found a whole bunch of patterns. They are generally pretty cheep too. I apologize for not being more helpful but I just don't have the use for an 80's dress right now. I hope you find something great! Thanks for following my blog!
