Hi! I'm Raven, I'm a sewing, fashion and DIY lover based in Jackson, MS. My love for sewing started at a young age, but it wasn't until I took a clothing design class in high school that I learned a lot of technical details of sewing and garment construction. Since I started my blog, I've been sewing more consistently than ever before and my closet is about 80% handmade!

This time I bought the 10 yard fabric mystery box, their applique mystery bundle, their 1 pound button bag and a Haberdashery bundle.
Watch me unbox everything for the first time here ..read more

Happy Friday! Today I’m sharing some recent makes that I’m extremely proud of. Since my new job at David’s Bridal I’ve become more comfortable with lace and satin (go figure, lol). So I’ve been incorporating more of those types of fabrics into my memakes!
Here’s some pictures of my recent makes along with a video as well!

Hey everyone! Today I’m sharing my DVF wrap dress that I made with Vogue Pattern V2000. I cut a size 16, view A and I used fabric from Joann Fabrics!
I’m truly in love with my new wrap dress and I love how much coverage I have in this dress! I feel extremely comfortable and confident in this dress as well.
This dress features a collar and cuffs – and of course the front wrap feature. The pattern also has a maxi version as well – which I think would be just a great!
