IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR...

...it's the Christmas Season, and today is my Birthday!  To EVERYONE who was nice enough to send cards & emails, or make facebook posts and telephone calls - a big THANK YOU, you made me feel so wonderful!

Now, on to the sewing business at hand.  It was such a rainy, chilly day that the Lady Faye photo shoot had to be held inside...








Merry Christmas to all and Happy Sewing!........

Hey Faye girl! I just saw your post today and want to say "Happy Birthday AND Merry Christmas! You are looking very fashionable in your beautiful coat. It really looks slick with the black skirt, gloves and especially the "kicking" boots. You inspire me to keep on working on my sewing fashion "dreams". Keep up the good work.
