This corset is made with coutil, my favorite fabric for corset making, I do feel that is is superior to everything else that I have tried, but that is just my opinion. Two layers of coutil, one fashion layers of obnoxious satin fabric.

I think the color spectrum looks even better with some white to set it off so I designed this wrap-around skirt with a white waistband and a wide white sash almost as long as the skirt. It's fully lined, so the inside is pretty too, and it's a fairly easy sewing project. Best of all, the instructions would work for any sized girl. Rainbow skirts for everyone! Hello summer!

Would you not love to wear this stunning RED Boreal Sweater on Christmas day or any of her FAB outfits? I think her designs are just awesome and I hope you visit this young lady Shanah’s blog “Little House Clothing” and ETSY shop “Little House” and look over all her spectacular designs. I am sure we will be seeing her design on the runway!

My apron is created and handmade with love for my dear wonderful friend Miss Ginny. When I was told that I was making my apron for her I was SOOOO HAPPY! I just adore Ginny and we both love the same looks and style so I just knew she would be so much fun to create for.

Don’t you just love the necktie section of the thrift store? The one I frequent most is always full of a fun mix of throwback patterns, cheesy characters, and some more modern designs. It’s those throwback ties that really speak to me, and sometimes I can’t resist snagging a couple, even if I don’t know what I’m planning to do with it.

Oh I how love browsing Anthropologie.com and their fabulous jewelry section!
My search for cute flowers was a failure so I decided to take matters into my own hands--handmake them!!!
So here is the first experiment:  black organza flowers sewn on to black nylon cord.

Sash Belts by Percy Handmade

Today we thought we'd bring you a bit of handcrafted inspiration. We're loving these bridal sash belts by Percy Handmade. Each piece is handcrafted from satin, chiffon or silk with ribbon detailing, beading and handcrafted rosettes. A fabulous way to add a unique touch to your bridal gown, and ever so delicate. Custom colour schemes are available.

One of Gabe's favorite toys are his big blocks so I saw this fabric on another blog(which I'm going to search for and post) and ordered some right away to make him a bag for his birthday. It's super big and the fabric is just perfect-a great weight and texture. I made the bottom and top band with some yellow twill and added grommets to pull it shut and carry it. He should be able to carry quite a few blocks (or toys) with it!

For as long as I've been making textiles I've been making bags too. It's a little bit odd because I'm a rucksack-sort of gal. I need a huge bag so that I can lug around all my notes and books and whatever craft project I'm working on next.
But I love cute bags! I love pink and frills and sequins.
