Ahoy, matey!

Check out the custom Bloomers I recently finished! I personally love them. This one was a bit of a challenge because the Skulls & Roses cotton print fabric is not easy to come by particularly where I live. Luckily I was able to snag some at a decent price online. Then, I realized I was completely out the black cluney lace I was going to use to trim these. But, hidden away in my lace stash was just enough of the black & white cluney lace you see here. I've had it so long I don't think it's made anymore. At least, I've yet to find more!

Even with the hiccups, or more like thankfully due to the hiccups, I was able to create a great pair of one-of-a-kind bloomers for a wonderfully patient (and repeat) customer!

Recent Custom Work

Let's see, I don't think I've shown off the custom headband I made for the lovely & talented Miss Connie Faye. It's purple, black & white skull print on one side & black brocade on the other. 

 

 

 

 

I'm currently working on a Hob... erm, tiger buddy companion plush. This pic is before I started hand stitching, yes hand stitching, the stripes. I did my best to stay true to the pic but also not drive myself insane. Especially after the wrestling match I had with creating the pattern in the first place. Hopefully I'll be finishing this up either tonight or tomorrow!

No, I'm not selling these. It is a one-off for someone's Halloween costume.

No, I'm not releasing the pattern either, sorry.

 

And, I'm also working on a pair of pirate-y Bloomers! How awesome is this fabric and lace?

 

 

 

 

 

Next up: Matrix style coat for my hubby in black canvas & a dress for me in black cotton printed with red stars. Can't wait!

Diva Capelet in Black Velvet

Every diva needs a capelet to ward off the cool night airs!

 
This half circle capelet is Black 100% Cotton Velvet and reverses to beautiful 2 inch Black & textured White stripe soft Polyester (definitely not the itchy stuff!). It closes with 2 beautiful Art Deco style buttons.

 

♦ Length at center front is 12" plus a 3" stand up collar

One size fits many!

Let me just say, I don't know how many of these I'll be making since my Cotton Velvet supply is pretty limited and getting what I call "velvet lung" sucks! I'll live ;).
