Blogversation 2012: How have you dealt with a fashion emergency?

As you may recall, earlier this year I joined Blogversation 2012 on Newvine Growing. This week's question for conversation is from me!

The other day I left my apartment wearing a new maxi dress that I made from a black and white gauzy cotton blend. The breeze felt amazing.

After hopping on the subway, I looked down and noticed that I could see straight through my dress, undies and all!  I was so embarrassed and understood why people were staring at me a little longer on my trek to the train. I needed another layer, underneath, ASAP. Thankfully, I was headed to my sewing studio where I could quickly solve the problem.

Have you ever had a fashion emergency or a wardrobe malfunction? A stain on your white blazer, a split in your trousers before the big meeting, a broken shoe on vacation? How did you resolve it? Did your experience spark a new way of dealing with fashion?

Visit the post, join the Blogversation:)

Fabric Care Package

My face brightened up when I received a surprise assortment of happily printed fabrics earlier this week from textile designer & author Jennifer Paganelli!

Okay, here's a short story...

My friend Erika called last October and mentioned that she picked up sewing book [for me] called 'Girls' World' that I might like. She was right! After receiving it I began using it for fashion instruction. The book is brimming with fanciful sewing and craft projects that are adorable.

Ok, let's fast forward to this months' DIYBA (DIY Business Association) tweet up. When I saw Jennifer's handle appear in the chat timeline, @sisbom, I had to introduce myself. We scheduled a Monday afternoon phone date, quickly discovered things we had in common, and decided it would be smart to stay connected.

On Wednesday (as I was rushing out the door) I stumbled over a fat package that had been delivered with Jennifer's name listed as the sender. After opening I was moved because:

1) the designs for spring are lovely,
2) sewing will be fun with the patterns + fabrics by Jennifer, AND
3) a sweet gesture enabled me to spark creativity and expand my network.

It's a colorful reminder of the ripple effects of our actions. Good, leads to good, leads to more good!

Wishing you a great Saturday;). Go create.
