LDV’s Opening and A Little Etsy
Hi Everyone. Well, La Dolce Vita had it’s grand opening this week. I have several things still up for grabs there. I had listed this custom Olivia there in this super cute golden Euro birds fabric.
I adore the hood on this playdress.
I also listed a custom of this dress in any fabric up on Etsy. I have joined EtsyKids and so excited about the sale coming up tomorrow. It’s a new promotion for EtsyKids called Friday Night EtsyKids (FNEK). I am offering 10% off and free shipping within the US. Please come over and check out all the wonderful deals at my Etsy shoppe. The sale is from 6pm - 12 pm EST.
Lastly I wanted to share this cute little tank (is it okay to say cute for a boy?) It was the first time I used my top and bottom coverstitch on my Juki machine. I adore this stitch. It’s so wonderful. Truly gives the garment a RTW look.
I created more for LDV’s opening. You can see them all here.

Well, more time has again passed. I have been busy working on customs along with getting ready for a new congo launch on April 3rd. I am so excited to have been asked to join La Dolce Vita on Hyena Cart. We are doing a Soupe du Jour theme for our opening. I have several things planned, with most of them cut. I have started sewing a few of them as well. I hope you all will join us for our launch. There might even be some things given away (hint, hint).
Well, on with the photos. Here’s set I did as a custom for a boy. I did some flat felled seams on this. I should have taken some photos of the insides, but alas I forgot and it’s on it’s way to the owner now.
I don’t know why the shirt looks so yellow in the photos. It must be something to do with the flash. But I am very proud of this set.

Sorry for the long delay. I’ve been busy getting ready for my Hyena Cart to open up. I joined the Sewing Mamas congo back in December with hopes of opening this month. I don’t have as much of a selection as I wanted. I have sick little kids here and now I’m sick too. Oh well, here’s some photos of my instock items as of now. I am working on some additional items for next week. Check back soon to see them.
Here’s a raglan I’m offering as a custom piece. I made one up for my oldest DS and he loves it.
And then a girlie top. I adore this fabric.
Holly Jolly Christmas
Over the Thanksgiving holiday (here in the US), I made up this little dress for my DD. I had actually finished it on Wednesday and therefore I had her wear it for Thursday. This was my first time sewing an invisible zipper. I had also never sewn with velvet before. While sewing the zip I learned that while having a zipper foot is good, having the invisible zipper foot would have been better. I will pick one up next time though.
Stripes Challenge
Hoodie is for DS. I got the pattern from the Otto 4/2006 mag. I did this hoodie for the stripes challenge over at Sewing Mamas. I got the fabric from Sew Baby. It is so soft. Like heaven in cloth
