Taking a cue from Teen Vogue and an article I read in the LA times, I set out to find myself an "African safari chic ensemble" - In my effort to stay hip and keep up with the kids...I found myself in Little Ethiopia on Fairfax Blvd last night purchasing a hugely over sized cotton top with a wild print that would best suit an eccentric elderly man. As I walked out I was hit with some doubt about how I was going to pull this one off, iffy about my newest acquisition and wondering if $22.50 was way too much to spend on something so giant. WELL, I am pleased to report that I dusted off my sewing machine and went to town transforming my new Nigerian XL man's top into an adorable "Tory Burch-esque" tunic dress! Woohoo!

I'm so glad you have carried on the family tradition of "sewing"! The possibilities are endless with needle and thread.
ok, tht is so cute! i would not know where to start or even be able to envision how to make a tunic look wearable. you are my seamstress hero
I would never have been able to envision how to make something that is shaped like a large dress into something more like a smaller dress. You truly are a hero and a visionary. - Kat!!!!!!
Nice Job. I am afraid of sewing machines!! Very impressed.

Brilliant AND cute!!
meg....sewing can be a tradition in that every women on my side of the family knew how to sew and taught the next generation...even your brother, beau, knows how to sew! I say it's a tradition!
