America's Next Top Model

America's Next Top Model is doing a casting call in Salt Lake City!
This Saturday, July 19, from 12:00 - 3:00
they are having an open casting call at Layers Clothing
(same company sponsoring the Miss American Fork Pageant
Swimwear contest, more on that later).
Their address is 79 West, 4500 South, Suite 23, in Murray. It's hard to find, toward the back of the business/warehouse complex. Get there early, I have a feeling parking will be miserable. And no, I'm not planning on applying, but I am curious on what kind of people will be there and would love to go watch!!

For those interested you can look up the application online, and requirements are to be at least 5'7" and 18-27.

Fashion Sewing 2

Thanks to Kaci for bringing this to my attention - Heather Bailey is another in the textile design area. She has her own fabric line sold at select stores and also offers some free pattern downloads. She's fun and funky and has something called "Trash Ties" and I am so amazed by them!! Maybe when I get my hair a little longer I'll have to try them. Check her out!

Word to the Wise

I was at South Towne Mall in Sandy, Utah last weekend where I saw a fashion show (not sure who it was put on by or what it was for), but they featured swimwear from Pearl. They are a new twist on modest swimsuits, but beware of that low-leg cut - it can be unflattering on most and shortens your leg.

Fashion Sewing?

Any seamstress will tell you that the hardest part about sewing is being able to find good fabric. Most mainstream fabric stores concentrate on kid's material and quilting fabric. A friend told me about this website and I fell in love - she is her own textile designer and pattern maker. She has fashion items, house decor, and everything in between. Hope you enjoy!
