I love my new top. I bought this a couple months ago. I wanted to wear it but it feels weird. Even Eric was "Nuh!". Today, I fixed it! And I loved how it turned out. There was 3/4 ruffles attached to the arm. I trimmed the ruffles and made it 2.5 long. I added lace on the bottom of the shirt to add more life to it. I put straps on the shoulders and accentuated it with lace and pearls, to cover the straps of the bra. I don't wear a strapless bra. My girls are full. Wallah! I have something to wear tonight.

Thank you You should! I love sewing. I was not good and I am still learning. I am a self-taught sewist which makes me proud of myself. I bought some books for beginners and I improvised. My next plan is to get an embroidery machine so I can embroider names and characters.

No. I have been sewing for three years now and I did some alterations in the past but this is the first for myself.

It is so pretty! I need to learn how to use a sewing machine. I have so much material that I would love to do something with, but never can.

Thank you, Felicia. You can go to YouTube. That's how I learned the basic. Good luck.
