Tunic, Amy Butler Pattern Altered

I returned to the Amy Butler tunic pattern, again. This time I completely reconstructed the neckline. I also opened up the armpits a bit. If you'll remember that pattern was a bit tight in the pits. I did use an Amy Butler print. An oldie, but a goodie. It's lined, with muslin, of course. And I used pale pink polka dots for the button closures. Thanks to the Finny and Donk Sew Along -- from whom I won the pattern. I still love it.

Custom Order: The Flower Girl's Flower Girl

One of my recent custom sewing orders was to create a flower girl dress for the flower girl's American Girl doll. I had a picture and a fabric swatch (for matching the color) and that's it. Was a fun project. And it's actually a really cute gift for the bride to give the flower girls. Good idea.
PS -- I also made the matching headband (pictured) for the flower girl. David's Bridal couldn't get it done in time. Imagine!?!?!?

Summer Accessories Custom Orders

Following my April 4 show, I've had a few custom orders for bags. Here are the most recent to be completed. Coming up, a custom order for a very special wedding accessory. I just have to find a model, then I'll photograph it and post it here.

Custom Order: New Frontier Crib Set

Gaucho chic is the theme for my most recently completed custom order. Look at this colorful cowboy crib set! The comforter is backed in chocolate minke -- super luxe.

Baby Ballgown, Green Silk

Decadent, huh? Dupioni silk for a baby's ball gown. Love it. Actually, I find that ironing is neither effective, nor necessary. So, it's actually not a bad choice.

Chair Back Pack

Here's a fun tradition for your family... chair back pack. Hang it on the back of the chair in which a special family member will sit in and drop love notes, toys, and other goodies in it on their special day. Great idea for birthdays!

Kiss My Grass Tote

Here's a fun, medium size tote with zipper closure that I whipped up for the April 4 show. It sold fast, glad I got a picture of it. This print is an out-of-print fabric from Laurie Smith -- you know how I love my Laurie Smith. The zipper is an invisible zipper that I made visible, so it makes for visual impact without a jagged zipper edge. The buttoned pocket is just for show, it's a simple pocket with no closure.
Inside is lined with a lime green and orange print and features a wide pocket.
