Wait til You See how I Wore this Mumu Dress
by Jill Myrick August 4, 2021

One of the most fun gains from learning to sew is that it has given me options. When I see how garments are constructed, it gives me new ideas or chances to take a few risks. For example, the difference between a sundress and a skirt is not that big. Especially in the case of the Angel Mini Dress from Show Me Your Mumu. I just loved this "spicy tomato" print when I saw it - and I loved the style of dress, but I new it was going to be too short for most things.

Red, White and Blue Weekends Ahead - What to Wear
by Jill Myrick May 28, 2021

I love Summer long weekends. Great excuse to enjoy the beach or lake and, since they also involve celebrating all things USA, the outfit choices head down the red, white and blue path. I just think these are happy, Summer colors and I'm all about figuring out lots of ways to work those colors in all Summer long.
