My Suit and Tie

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

Suit and Tie – yes please and thank you. I participated in a sewing challenge focused on women in suits. I was assigned McCall’s M7997 view B. This is actually a suit dress and I had the option to hack it if I wanted. Feeling overwhelmed as I alway do when I participate in challenges… Read More

Hey I’m still in vacation mode.  I promise you will love the Casual Jumpsuit – Mc Call’s 7598. My vacation suitcase is 90% #memade and I love it.

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.

Tie Dye Denim Kimono

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

Baaaaaaby – This jacket right here! I was asked (totally flattered) by Michelle @thatblackchick if I would be interested in making a garment for the September/October issue of Sewn Magazine.  Give me a minute to think about this – I mean I am in such demand that my personal assistant manages my time and scheduled appearances.   The… 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.
