Slayed!! You truly have a God-given gift! It's hard to pick favorites - the jean jacket with the overhang in the back; the jean outfit with the train; the tie jacket; the bubble skirt and the jean bag.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Jen! Just able to do a little catching up. You are looking BEAUTIFUL lady🥰 YES, you had SUCH a creative year for sure and THANK YOU for creating the membership, it has been so much fun to be part of the group! Your jacket Upcycles were FIRE! Jen, you DID YOUR THING in your shows, I am ALWAYS AMAZED at what you come up with. That whole set for Jordan you made was really SHARP! I watched your recent Denim Jean to Bag upcycle and I LOVE that, will have to put that on my to-do this year for sure. JEN, I wanna talk about that clutch you made with the pink satin interior and brooches in one of our member only classes.

[@JenRestyleandFashion]

Hey @SewNaturalDane I am so happy to hear you are loving the membership! That clutch was a fun one. We can create it in the next class. I've been collecting brooches for months.

[@valerieg.9242]

Love all these upcycles. I seriously wish I had enjoyed the sewing part of home ec or sat with my aunt more because they way I want to learn to sew now is sad. I can replace a button, hand stitch to fix a seam but I am going to learn my way around a basic sewing machine this year! I am hoping that once you announce dates for your Atlanta show I will be able to attend...these fashions are amazing!!!

[@JenRestyleandFashion]

@@valerieg.9242 thank you so much.! Yeah I got lucky in HS and was a head of the curve. I hope to share some basic sewing tips this year
