Prego Pasta Sauce

I don't usually buy pasta sauce because you can easily whip up a sauce on your own adjusting the taste to your preference. However, I really like Prego Sauces either tomato based or newer cream bases. It's pour out of the jar ready and delicious enough to keep everyone eating it again and again, no further steps required by the chef. 680gm jar @ $5.45 from FairPrice.

Simplicity - Cynthia Rowley Pattern 2178 - Dress D

I told my aunt I was going to sew a dress for her using this gorgeous grey duchess satin fabric I already have. Unfortunately, there is not enough fabric for a statement dress so I can only do this basic dress with straps.

I didn't take measurements, I just asked for her dress size : EUR 38 or 40. That requires 1.75 yards of fabric 60" wide.

After sewing these bubble skirts, I realize the effect is achieved from various techniques (darts, pleating, ruching) used generously and randomly throughout. You can't be too fussy about uniformity on this one.

Iron those fusible interfaces and it is done! Let's see how it holds up in the wash, am worried about that fusible interface.

Hugo Boss Spring/Summer 2015

A brand well-known for its classic business clothes as interpreted by its new creative director Jason Wu. This season in women wear the print is monochrome, creating a really futuristic look that reflects modern minimalism. Some of the seasons trends are reflected here in the sheer overlay skirt so we can see the legs. Sexy cutouts on dresses and deep V cleavages for those who are trying not to look soo formal.  

Over in menswear we see an all white collection.

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

This Benefit mascara lengthens, volumizes, lifts & separates lashes to create dramatically different lashes. It's not waterproof but is long wearing. I can see why there are fans of this product.

Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc

My absolute favorite beer by far, you have to get the Blanc as its the champagne of beer. It has a complex & perfume-y flavor with a mild finish and oh so fizzy. Nothing comes close, $28.65 for a 6-pack.

Simplicity - Cynthia Rowley Pattern 2178 - Dress C

Dress C also has a full length skirt, however, the design changes from toga to classic 2 shoulder straps. I realize from the front the shoulder straps look evenly centered. The design actually places the straps closer to each other at the back for smaller sizes, so it will stay nicely on your shoulder when you wear the dress but won't cover your bra straps.

Again, I chose to work with dip-dyed cotton fabric in a different colour. This ombre cotton fabric comes in panels that take up loads of fabric when you have to position the colour where you want it on the dress. This time, I will be placing the ombre stripes horizontally.

I like the plush bunchy look, very cloud-like especially when its in blue.

I think there are still many broken bits of sewing needles in the machine, as this fabric ripped at several spots. I sewed it over to cover up the ripped parts and now the dress is bunchy in places and even has an uneven waistband.
