Wedding bustle

This is a lovely one point bustle I created for a bride recently.

Homecoming alterations

These are two tiny dresses I saw at homecoming. They were both too small to fit on my dress form. The black one required bodice work and a pencil style skirt. The other just a halter strap.

Tie made to match dress

This dress required a hem but not from the lower edge. I shortened the dress from the horizontal skirt seam. This preserved the scalloped edge at the skirt bottom. My client asked for a tie to match the dress from the hem remnant which I was able to create.

Organization and furniture move improves work space.

I recently rearranged and organized my work space. It is a pleasure to sew in this environment.

Proper fit

I found this great website outlining the fit standards for Men's business wear. I had color print diagrams made for references. Very helpful! I found them www.realmenrealfit.com

Regency Ball Costume

Kipten and I went to a Regency Ball on Put in Bay Island celebrating the Battle of Lake Erie of the War of 1812. I created my costume using an empire waist stretchy top. Then added a burnout sheer over lay skirt with matching sleeves. It was a quick way to get a regency costume. My son is dressed as a Navy Sea Cadet and his unit helped with the set up of the ball.

Christmas Elves

These cute elves came from a customer who wanted the names of their grandchildren on the elf hats. I stitched on name tags. A fun easy project, cute enough to share.
