Coming up...

So I have a confession: I haven't been sewing. Nothing, not even a little until the Alice in Wonderland Outfit for a sweet little girl who's going to Disney. Of course she had to have an outfit or two so I gladly created her two special sets.

I have been so burned out creatively that I really haven't had a desire to do much sewing. I think I am slowly (very slowly) getting back to a point where I may want to sew again. So, I am entering back in just a smidge at a time... I have a craft show coming up:

RidgeFest Craft Fair ~ November 6th

I will have several babies available for Holiday gifting and a few other goodies as well. Like wallets and key fobs and coin purses and hair bows too! I am a little excited about getting to meet new customers and maybe seeing some favorite repeat customers.

This show is in Woodbury so it is a new venue for me but I am excited about the chance to see everyone. I'll update with new goodies soon!

A little Alice in Wonderland...

So I have been working very hard on two fabulous outfits for Miss Ellie... the first one is an Alice in Wonderland appliqued stripework skirt. Talk about fabulous! It turned out so pretty and I worried about it sooo much!
This little skirt at 8 panels that featured our interpretation of Alice in Wonderland... these are done in pinks with polka dots as accents. I hope you love them as much as I do Miss Ellie!
The first section here includes teacups for the tea party, the "drink me" bottle and of course the important key... I added the words "drink me" to the little tag after these photos were taken.

This section you can see just a tad bit of the little tea cakes, the mad hatter's hat and a teapot for the tea party... again, I added the words "eat me" to the tea cakes and an improper fraction to the hat tag after photos.

What Alice in Wonderland set could be complete without a disappearing Cheshire Cat? So, for the tee, we added the cat's face as the rest of the body disappeared!

For Miss Ellie's second set, I created a fabulous circle skirt with Zebra. It has two layers... the first in black with hot pink tulle accent ruffle and the second layer zebra! It is fierce! For her matching tee, we just added a little zebra applique to complete the look. And wouldn't you know? I didn't take the first picture of this set! How crazy is that? I know mom Natasha plans to get some great photos of both these sets so I will just have to wait to see those!

I hope you have a Great Trip to Disney Ellie and have a WONDERFUL time!!!
