Simplicity Jumpsuit Sew-Along w/ Mimi G

Hi Darlings!

Everyone is making jumpsuits and rompers and since one of my favorite patterns for a jumpsuit is Simplicity 1355 we thought why not make a sew-along video with a modification. I wanted a narrow leg with a cropped look so I made a quick and easy adjustment which I show in the video. I hope you enjoy the video below and I will see you guys later!

Pattern: Simplicity 1355 HERE
Fabric Options: My fabric choice HERE, Challis HERE, Chambray HERE, Crepe HERE, Linen Knits HERE, Striped Knits HERE

xoxo,

Mimi G For Michael Levine DIY Top Tutorial!

Hi Darlings!

It's so strange to be somewhere other than on my blog posting, but I'm very excited to share something awesome with you.  Over the next few months, I will be posting amazing, FREE tutorials for all of you to enjoy, thanks to the wonderful folks at Michael Levine Inc. We are going to have so much fun together, but I urge you not to miss any postings or announcements. So please, make sure to follow this blog by clicking "FOLLOW" in the sidebar and signing up for the newsletter HERE.

If you are not familiar with my blog, Mimi G Style, or my tutorials, let me share how it works. I film step by step, and easy to follow video tutorials that anyone can sew along to. Not only are my tutorials fun and easy to understand, but they are all fashion-sewing based, and great for any skill level.

Now lets get to the tutorial! We will be drafting and sewing from start to finish, a top that is flattering for almost anyone, and then we will be adding some great leather patch pockets, or a cool leather exclamation point. There is also an adjustment for those who prefer an off the shoulder look. Enjoy!

 FABRIC & SUPPLIES NEEDED: 1.5 -2 Yards of Purple Double Knit HERE, Black HERE  / 1 Leather Hide  HERE / Optional: Trim HERE

Bring on the shoppers...

What a fun Saturday morning! Last Saturday, July 20th, we had over 80 of MimiG's followers descend on our store. Mimi and I have been talking about this day for months. When we started discussing the numbers I think it was around 50, but it quickly rose and before I knew we were up to 89 shoppers. I just wanted to share a few pics from the morning and give a big thank you to Mimi, her great family who was there to support her, and of course the shoppers. We had a great time answering your questions, feeling fabric with you, searching for what you wanted, and watching our fabric cut like crazy! We hope you guys had as good of a time as we did. We can't wait to see what everyone makes with the fabric they bought, as well as the fabric from your goodie bag. Make sure to tag us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Here are a few pics...



Setting up the goodie bags



Yummy snacks from Panera and Coffee Bean.



We made one of Mimi's dresses so everyone could see it in person. This fabric is almost sold out. I can't wait to wear this dress in Hawaii. It is so comfortable!



And the cutting begins!

Just one of the many hold piles. The knits , stretch wovens, and cottons were all hot sellers.







Lining up to get questions answered from Mimi. This went on for the entire 3 hours. Mimi is a great source of knowledge and you could tell this group really wanted to absorb as much as they could from Mimi, as well as the Michael Levine staff.



Bringing more fabric from the warehouse. There were a few prints that everyone really liked. We can't wait to see how everyone interprets the same fabric in different ways.



Checking out and our new Michael Levine bags. Don't forget to check in on August 6th to see how you can win a goodie bag of your own. I will announce the details on our Facebook page.



Larry, the owner, and I had to get a picture with Mimi. It's been such a pleasure getting to know her this year.



More shoppers checking out of The Loft, our "per pound" store.

Even while everyone was waiting for the bus to arrive they were asking questions and getting information.







And the bus arrives. Whew. What a fun-filled 3 hours! We really enjoyed our time with you guys. Make sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter so you can keep up with everything we're doing. If you're a local, make sure to say hi when you visit again and if you're from out-of-town, don't forget you can still shop us at lowpricefabric.com. Again, we can't wait to see what you make from all the fabric you bought. Have fun!

Enjoy!
