I participated in the ASG Conference Fashion Show in San Diego this year!!! It was so much fun! The theme was "On the Wild Side" because of the San Diego Zoo. I started sewing early this year, so I modeled two looks. The first is a pattern I've had in my stash for a while. It reminded me of a jungle rainforest. I purchased the fabric from Metro Textiles in NY last year. I was very pleased with the outcome. I shortened the torso about 1 1/2 inches. Sandra Betzina patterns are more close to a normal/RTW sizing, so I didn't have to do a FBA (full bust adjustment). I used the cover stitch to top stitch around the neckline, sleeves, and hem. I love how the dress falls around the hips---it's so comfortable. I've already gotten two orders from clients!!!!
My second look is a self-drafted maxi skirt. The fabric is a cotton with beautiful brown and rust women with Afros!!! I fell in love with this fabric ---- another NY Garment District find!!!! I paired it with a RTW t-shirt from JCP and belt from TJ Maxx.
The fashion show was lots of fun!!!! Take a look at some of the other beautiful creations here. Check out last years' fashion show here http://dressed2atee.blogspot.com/2014/07/and-winner-is.html
