Hey guys hope you had a great holiday weekend! We had a barbecue with family and friends. I love when we all get together. Well I did get some sewing in before the holiday.
Pattern: Butterick 5351
Fabric: cotton from JoAnn fabric for 2.50 a yard off the clearance rack.
Conclusion: Super easy dress. It call for a 16" zipper so I did a invisible zipper. I have to say I am getting better with that.
I also did some sewing for my niece.
Pattern: Simplicity Suede 0445
Fabric: cotton from JoAnn fabric for 2.50 a yard.
Conclusion: Super cute and super easy! I think this is a cute skirt that most teenagers would like. It calls for a invisible zipper more practice for me.
In the month of I think March I decided to go natural with my hair without the big chop. Yep no more perms. I made this decision after talking to my dd. My dd is always asking me to put a perm in her hair and I would always say noooo! I told her she didn't need a perm because her hair is beautiful like it is. Sooooo one day she told me if our hair is beautiful why do you have a perm. After that I told her I will not put another perm in my hair.I love it and when I don't love it I put on a wig LOL.The style I have in the pic is a week old twist out. My dd loves that we are doing this together. The things we do for our kids.
Well that's it for me. Happy crafting to all!!! : )

Your dress is so pretty-love the fabric and the skirt for your Niece is so hip and modern. Congrats on going the natural route with your little girl. Your hair is so pretty and it must be nice to have that option:)
First: When I first started reading the post the first thing I noticed was your hair I thought Is she going natural? cause I liked the "new" look. Then I focused on the dress which is totally cute by the way. Then: I read on about your daughter's "observations" and the hair and I am all smiles! Way to go!
Hey, Jada,
Great results on your latest creations. And congrats on going natural! My 3rd year anniversary of being natural is coming up next month. I took to wearing wigs four months ago, and I love it. It gave me a break from styling my hair, and it's a great protective style. There are so many helpful blogs and forums out there for us naturals. Good luck on your journey!
Love the dress and your hair, I'm going to take the plunge one day.
The dress looks great on you and your niece is going to love her skirt.
Congrats on going Natural and you look great. You are so brave... when I question whether I can go natural ... I have nightmares of a tangle mess...lol.
