LoLo Body Care, formally Bar-Maids, creates exceptional moisturizers hand-poured by staff who add a good dose of heartfelt love to each one. Most all their supplies are made in the US, and their beeswax sourced from a local farm. Besides quality, the value of their product lies in that they last a very long time and are loved to the very last bit. They built their brand on being eco-friendly and their new packaging rocks. Their customers and customer service are rare and treasured jewels.

They only have one sale annually. It is their time to give back while supporting others to give more. Their annual sale begins Thanksgiving Day, noon and ends December 4th, noon.

Made a new beautiful skirt muslin. Need to redo it. Sleeve alterations.

Final project is a clean sloper. Skirt with waistband and zipper. Bodice with separating zipper

Couture Embellishments class at West Valley College continues.

Assignment was to embellish printed fabric and lace fabric with beads and sequins. Also to use shells for

Embellishment. Didn’t have any, used washers and bolts for a hem treatment.

Embellished jeans: opened side seam so I have room to work. Next step was couching the crochet cotton

lines onto the jeans. Couching the vines was a big part of the project, labor and time intensive.

Silk ribbon leaves, one Jasmin Blossom, scattered seed beads in red and yellow, a padded pomegranate

appliqué.
