The sewing continues...

...and boy has it been a while since I've posted on here. Sorry about that all, but this latest project took me a little to finish and I got a photography job in the meantime which gave me more work to do so it's just been busy, busy, busy over here. At any rate I think those of you following my sewing adventures are going to love this new one...I know I do :) Well, I won't keep you waiting any longer, here it is...

Oh' I just love this pic of my Tillie too! I thought her expression was just perfect. The colors here are a tad off due to some photoshop actions used, but I love the end result! Oh' and I made the pretty hairpiece too! I even hand curled all those feathers...that was a blast, not!

Here's another shot...

... and the this is pretty much what the colors look like. I love, love, love how this turned out and she got tons of compliments when we went out. This outfit here is going to run around $60USD depending on the size and goes from 18mos to a size 6. My daughter is  wearing a size 4T which is the store size I would buy for her. I have a size 24mo already cut out in this same fabric, feel free to message me with any inquiries.  Sorry for the little sales pitch, but I get so many people interested when we are out and I still don't have business cards made...I know it's terrible, that I thought I should put it out there for interested folks.

I have more in the works...a modified pillowcase dress that's almost finished,  another romper, but pants,so adorable though, and some top and capri sets. I'm also going to be working on some neat military camo sets so stay tuned for that. This is all for today, I'll be back into those paper crags soon, I promise:)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

The Dress...

So, I told you all what seems like ages ago that I was going to make my daughter a dress. I finally managed to get it finished just before i got the flu and then my DD got sick and we had some bad weather so I didn't get pics until the week of Spring Break(last week). I'm happy to report the dress turned out beautifully...and that's not just my opinion,lol, I was told by several people if I had more they would buy them so, I'm thinking about starting another venture. So it makes me a little nervous to show you all here, but here goes...

DD likes to call this her princess dress and she loves it!! Thank goodness! I actually used two different patterns one for a peasant dress found here and the other was for a skirt wrap found here both from a wonderful store called Create Kids Couture. The patterns are downloaded and you print out the pieces you need and the instructions are clear and to the point and filled with pictures, so easy. I got most of the dress done in one day and the skirt I made for DD at christmas took me three and  that was mostly because I couldn't understand the instructions. 

Ok, so I let DD have some fun in her dress too, here's a couple more pics...

She quite enjoys twirling in this dress and I actually made a whole photo strip of it, but it wouldn't fit on here...at least in any size you could see very well, so I opted for just these two. Be on the lookout for more pretty dresses to come and hopefully I'll be able to sell some in my ETSY shop. It's empty now, cause they seemed to have changed things since I last posted anything and I can't seemed to get my pics sized right so they won't upload...if I make them any smaller they are going to disappear, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it's sucking! Hope you all are well!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look today. I should have some more paper crafts up soon! 

Have a wonderful day!
