Its coming together

"Yawn" am in the office - half asleep.  Went to bed at 12midnight last night.  My body not coping well but hey the excitement of seeing the finished product keeps you going - yes it has its consequences but I guess all hard work pays off at some point right?  Ok - so below is a very concerning version of my half done dress - i am soooo pround of me. 

Tip:  always get some help when you are cutting, measuring, etc - and always have someone by your side - they will always says something worth considering.......dont be selfish  (thanks to my mum for a bit of direction to this point)

my first ball gown

So today my mission at lunch time is to buy material to make my first ball gown dress! whoop.  I am very worried but there is a burning passion inside me - i have no sewing machine yet but if this one is a success - i will be owning one soon.

So I think I have truly discovered my passion and that is : Fashion Design - Garment Construction....My job as a TV presenter causes me to interview many stylists.  The show helps ladies and man who are struggling to find the perfect outfit to wear to their functions and events.  My job is to find a stylist who then visits different shops to try and get the perfect outfit......and yes we get the perfect outfit......

Sometimes though, the outfits miss important detail.....and all the time I find myself wondering how this can be helped.....then my mind just took me back to my modelling days when I used to design all my outfits for the pageants!! wow - why did my mother not see this?? 

Anyway, its never too late - as I say - today i buy my first material to make my own ballgown dress for a friend's anniversary....wathc the space - i will post a pic....

Just so you know I am taking this seriously and you dont get surprised when my line walks down the Paris Fashion Week ramp -- School starts in June - basic sewing - collars, button holes, zips etc.....CANT WAIT....

So first step done ! am so proud of myself...i know pink and blue goes well together especially with the trendy color blocking thats going on lately.  I will work on this tonight and I cant wait to show you my first ever............ball gown !! 

Fashion Designer in Making

So it all started with the search of my Passion..........\
You know how you know that God implants a passion in each one of us and our job is to simply find what it is.......
Well, i am in my early 30s now and i think only NOW i realise that all along i have just simply ignored my passion........
Even with little hints here, signs there ...i simply couldnt realise it.....
I feel a bit pissed that i only realised it now........BUT its never too late....p
