Sew In Love

I've been working on a few projects this weekend, one of them being a new line of bow ties for my boutique.  I'm really excited about these Valentine/Love themed fabrics I picked out today!  And guess what?  I'll be offering pre-tied bow ties in the near future.  I'm a fan of the self-tie, however, pre-tied seems to be all the rage.  And they are not as labor intensive.

 I'm also digging out some other materials that I haven't visited in a while.  I'm whipping up some new button earrings and jewelry as well. Stay tuned, I'll be putting some new items online soon!

Sew in Love: Summer Dress

I love to sew and design clothes. Below is a breezy, vintage patterned, summertime dresses that I made. I like to start with a manufactured dress pattern, then modify it and make it my own. After learning how to make ruffles recently, I had to add ruffles to the bust, which added dynamic to an otherwise plain dress. I also added pleats to the waist. The great thing about sewing your own clothes is that you can use whatever fabrics you like and you can be assured that no one else in the world is wearing what you have on!
