I had another opportunity to contribute to SewnMag Anniversary November/December 2018.  This time the challenge was to hack a pattern using lace.  I decided to make a Casual Top & Simple Sleeve Hack. I used Butterick View D.  This was a very simple project and I knocked it out in no time. Since the hack was limited… Read More

Tie Dye Denim Kimono

Fall Dress & Duster ~ Simplicity 8084

by Venita Elaine, in category D.I.Y., Fashion, Tops

Technicolor Bomber Jacket

by Venita Elaine, in category Coats and Wraps, D.I.Y., Fashion, Tops

Butterick B6181 I made this in June as a lightweight summer jacket but something about it screamed fall so I’ve been held on posting this one till now.  The fabric is from my stash and it’s a lovely rayon print, but the sad news is that it wouldn’t let me be great😊.  It raveled to… Read More

About Me!

I am Venita Elaine of SewVeStyle. I learned to sew at a very early age but like many things life got in the way and sewing was set aside. I am back and I am excited about the endless possibilities to transform fabric into wearable fashion. I am not a professional seamstress or stylist but I work hard and I take great pride in the items that I share with you. Each and every item I make is a labor of love and a source of pride and accomplishment.
