Twirl Skirts and Playdresses

Here are two recent customs I did.  One is a triple tiered skirt.  Super cute with extra twirl power!  I love this skirt despite it’s attempts to thort my sewing it. Seriously, I had to do this skirt 2x.  It’s always the easy projects (or should be easy) that cause me the most trouble.  Isn’t it like that in life too? LOL

And now a playdress just perfect for summery spring days.

Of Sundresses and Organics

Hello Spring! And April!

As most of you know April 22nd is Earth Day. In celebration I have made some special organic Dundies and boxers for my guest spot at Artiste this month. I am very excited to guest with them, they are a wonderful bunch of ladies (thanks gals for having me). Also I have been thinking Spring. Or trying to at least. It can be hard with this flip-flop weather we get here. But yesterday was a nice (semi-warm) day. I have wanted to make a sundress like this for, oh, about a year or so now. Problem is I am always busy, as most of you moms can relate. I seriously adore this style of dress. Something about the straps, I think.

Anyway, Artiste stocks tonight at 9pm est. Oh and don’t forget Creatively Serene is stocking Monday at 4pm est with their theme of “The Four Elements.” Hope to see you there!

Training Bras and Panties

So I was asked to make some training bras. Me being, well, me and loving challenges said sure. So here are my two versions of the bras. One is a sports bra type and the other is more a traditional trainer with adjustable straps. (please forgive my manni, she’s not as big in the chest/shoulders as the bras needed her to be)

Upcoming Stockings

I am stocking tomorrow at Naturally Nested on HyenaCart.  I have a cute halter top with matching capris up for sale there, as well as a semi-custom slot for girls panties or boxer briefs.  I am really excited about this top.  It is so adorable, I was joking with DH about my girls have a closet full of them.  Seriously though I am planning several for my daughters.  Don’t you think they’d be super cute in some Zen Garden or Jade?

I’ll also be stocking on Monday at Creatively Serene.  We have revamped our congo (though some parts are still under construction) and I love the new look.  Come by and check it out Monday at 4pm.  I’ll have a custom slot for peasant top made from a cupcake knit.  Super soft stuff.  Also we are offering a no stalking pass to be given away in April for one of the members of our announcement list so be sure to join for your chance to win!

A New Bubble Dress

This is a new pattern I was lucky enough to test for thehandmadedress.net.  I will most definally be making more of these.  In fact, I will be making my girls matchy-matchy Easter dresses from this one.
