My First Handmade Dress - Results

So here it is....The inspiration was a pillowcase dress, though this wasnt from a pillowcase. I used raw fabric and some embellishments. I love the way it looks though I think next time I will be changing how it ties on. The ribbons on the shoulders keep slipping off.

Overall, I think it's pretty! Thanks for looking!

My First Handmade Dress!

I am going to be making a dress for Gabby today! First time. Should be interesting ;) A learning experience if nothing else. :) I will post photos once I am done!

Enjoy this wonderful day!

Camera Strap

I have been wanting to make a camera strap for a while now, but I have been preoccupied. So, I finally picked out some fabric I have been wanting to use and decided to sit down and make it!

I embroidered each piece, not sure if you can see it very well.


Love the way it came out! Now I am thinking of making several more in different designs and swapping them out depending on which I want at the time. A blue theme sounds nice! Spring inspired me for this theme!

I would like to thank Vanessa at The Crafty Gemini for taking the time to make this Tutorial!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful time with family and friends. Appreciate what you have. Never know what tomorrow will bring. There are plenty of people out there less fortunate.

Yellow Blue Denim Purse

New bag I made tonight. The base is denim I have been looking forward to using. I had been collecting various fabrics in yellow/blue patterns and they seemed perfect for the denim.

Here is a view of the finished product with one of the straps showing.



Here is the other strap I made.



Here is a close up of both straps together.



Here is the lining with my label and if you look closely you can see the inner pocket I made as well.

The appliques I made, I had sewn on whim and they should actually fray a little on the edges to give it a little more zing.

Overall, I like the way it came out though I tend to add and create on the spur of the moment.

Looking forward to my next project. I am pretty into making the purses though. Purses are one of my weaknesses. lol

My lovely purples!

I love purple. This is my collection so far. I am so hesitant to use them up. lol Must...buy...more!
