my first dress


here is a picture of the dress i made for evie. i had an unfinished embroidered pillowcase and i am not sure where it came from. i sort of followed a pattern and sort of made it up. i scalloped the bottom to follow the stitching and just did a simple arm seam by lining the top. then i used some vintage snap fasteners that were my grandma's to finish it at the shoulders. i don't know how to do much when it comes to sewing clothes yet, so i figured i'd get to buttons later. i love how this came out.

new photos!

the photo shoot was awesome. as always my model was great. the craziest thing is how almost everything i have in inventory fits her. crazy.

here are a few pieces that are not yet posted, but on their way to the shop...

new found creativity!

i have been suddenly overwhelmed by a need to create. i suppose it's because i just started looking at things on pinterest. oh lord.

i have done some of my first sewing over the past week or two. i will post pictures in the next few days. i have lots of shirts and sweatshirts that were my dad's and i can't get myself to get rid of them. so, i am trying to come up with interesting ways to repurpose them. i am always looking for ideas, so i welcome any comments!
