Saved by the Bell Dress
So I just collected this AMAZING fabric, its crazy light weight, soft and comfortable and I now want to make EVERYTHING from it. Seriously you should see my list of "too makes" out of this stuff! But so far I have been making this insanely comfortable mini maxi dresses, which I like to call a "saved by the bell dress" due to the dresses kelly,lisa and jesse were constantly wearing. Here are a couple examples of the dress! More colors and prints to come!

Lets Catch Up
So for a while there I was M.I.A but now I am back! After a long apple harvest my beau and I decided our time at the farm/orchard has met its end and it is time for us to find our own little nest somewhere. Originally we were trying to a little house with some acreage in North Carolina. So we spent a few months there bouncing around looking at places, continuously falling in love with homes and imagining our own little farm happening there, only to have our dreams smashed by someone with a lot more money then we had. SO after a few months of constant let downs we came back down to our home town St.Petersburg Florida where we found a little old house with a big front and back yard that would be perfect for us.
SO here we are now with a small urban farm, and our old house with its constant fun renovating projects, with our dog and our new kitty Rocky. Best thing about this house is I have my very own sewing studio!
Also I am finally trying to fully dedicate myself to my work. I have not scooped up another job just yet so I can actually try to put my complete self into this. So far its been a lot of organizing and planning, but I have been creating new things and it feels so good.
Just a couple photos of the beginning of my sewing studio

Turbans
Just put together some extra lovely fall accessories!
I use an amazing sweater knit jersey cotton fabric double layered, so it will act not only as an amazingly cute hat, but also as ear warmers/protectors, but the fabric is not too heavy so its perfect for all the states!
The cool weather is upon us time for all those fun winter accessories we only get to use mildly.

Almost done!
Will show a photo when complete. But basically what we have here, is what once was a full slip, sliced and diced turned into a romper, I salvaged the lace from a different slip skirt I had, and the teal fabric used in the ruffles and for the trimming was the left overs from a previous full slip turned romper. So basically a Frankenstein of rompers.

New Design!
Just put this little diddy together this weekend. I have been really wanting to make day rompers, so before I jumped into that, I figured why not make a high waisted shorts jumper. While I was making them I thought how fun it would be to make the straps to the jumper detachable so you change the garment according to your mood or the weather! So here is a little Sneak Peek at the shorts, and the straps are coming later today!

New dress design and New Print
SO Lately I have been wanting to really spruce things up in my little shop, I want new happenings and to make it a little easier on myself, I have decided I want to make a few specific designs for the tshirt dresses and later on with the slips I will be building. So this way I can just take a few photos of the dress that fits me best and then on make them to order. This way I wont have to create something and struggle to get a good few photos in of every single garment I make. But here is the design of the Scout dress, I have it photographed here in 2 different colors and with 2 different prints. Including my newest print of a red fox, which will be able to be a silver fox or purple fox whatever your heart desires fox.

pcycled Vintage curtains turned 50s Inspired Sweetheart Halter Pleated Romper Project
Upcycled Vintage curtains turned 50s Inspired Sweetheart Halter Pleated Romper...
this one available here:http://www.etsy.com/listing/73087871/upcycled-curtains-turned-50s-inspired
Sooo super fun project! I really need to start taking before pictures, I know I always say that but I mean it this time and next time I won't be saying that sentence at all! So I was at the thrift shop the other day and saw these amazing coral pinkish colored curtains with white box pleated bottoms accented with olive green ribbons and thought "oh my..mine" and took them home and threw them on the sewing table knowing something great needed to happen right then. Instead I ate dinner with my sweet lovey man and went to sleep but the next morning I awoke to a beautiful vision and the vision was.... this romper!!! SO I took the take off of work :) it was kinda sorta raining so can't really blame me and I got to work on this beaut!
I made it a sweetheart top and added bust darts in the top and coming up from the waist line. I accented the top of the bust line with some of the pleated bottom curtain I had cut and used for the bottom of the bloomers.Also using the green ribbon used on the pleated bottom now at the top of bustline. To give it the real 50s feel I used the top edging of the curtain as the halter for the bodice .I made the high waisted bloomers from both bottoms of the set of curtains and added a zipper going up the left side making it an extremely accessible romper! All in all a super fun project took me a good little bit of time but I do think I can do it again and improve on things Heres the finished project!!

Upcycled vintage nightgown turned Ruffled Butt Romper
Upcycled Vintage Nightgown turned Ruffled Butt Romper
I really need to remember to take before and after photos...but this time use your imagination... This was a huge nightgown/moomoo, it caught my eye because of the amazing lace neckline I thought, well that deserves a new life. So I took it home cut and sliced it up and used remaining skirt and magically turned them into ruffles and POOF this is what came out.

Vintage Slip Turned Jumper Custom Order
So it all started with this sweet gal who was interested in a particular skirt, but then it sold before she could get her hands on it, so she ask me to try to reproduce the skirt and I did to my best, but the skirt was too long for this short little gal, so she had to bright idea of then asking me if I could turn it into a jumper for her. After a few days of wrestling with the idea and just the right way to do it. I finished it! here are some photos of the finished project!
