I still haven't been able to get to NYC to check out the new fabrics, but I'm hoping to make a day trip while I'm in seeing the tree at Rockefeller Center. Within the last couple of weeks, I was looking for a black Chantilly lace locally to duplicate a dress I saw on the Internet. I've managed to find a couple of patterns, but they really weren't right for this dress. There is no place for fabric like 40Th street in Manhattan! I did however make this dress and it turned out beautifully, but I'm still on the hunt for the right lace. I've been altering holiday clothes and I made a python skirt for a friend. Since it's cold outside, I love to stay home and sew all day.

Lace is everywhere in fashion and I love sewing with it, so my next few projects will consist of lace somewhere. I will keep you posted. :)
