Floral

If you have ever looked at my Instagram or my Facebook pages, you can tell I love flowers. So it’s not a surprise I find fabric other than lace that has flowers. This year it seems to be craze. I have been using it for years and I don’t really plan on stopping. The thing is when you make clothes you can make yours different than what is sold in stores. And that’s usually what I do for myself and my clients.

Here’s the fabric, a light-weight cotton jersey.

Here’s the lace, a sheer and sparkly navy floral lace.

Let’s marry them ❤

I’ll show you the top and bottom later in this post. I did mention in an earlier post I was addicted to lace. See it continues lol.

The pattern I used for the lace top is one I’ve had for a while. I wanted to use it and I figured these pants with this top would make a nice addition to my summer wardrobe. Butterick 4988 without the extra trim on the sleeves. I didn’t do the scalloped hemline as this lace doesn’t exactly have the bottom for it. Had the lace flowers been a closer pattern to allow it, I would have done it. Well that leaves room for me to do this pattern again.

The pants are a McCalls pattern 6404a, they suggested stretch knits, which is fine I wanted some light pants almost leggings for summer. So I went at it. The pattern was pretty easy. Next time I would take out the pockets as I don’t really like them but they don’t really show with the top. Otherwise it is fun and breathable for this hot summer we have had.

Well there is more sewing going on here so please stay tuned and thanks for reading, talk to you soon.

Thanks for reading, talk to you soon.

Lovely Lady Lace

Oh la la!!!! I say while dancing with Meghan Trainor’s All About That Bass playing in the background. When I get in my zone (my sewing happy place), I have the music playing (loud), while I cut patterns, drape fabric and sew fronts to backs. Add in a two-step and spin here, lol!!

 

It not just a job, it’s becoming a lifestyle…hmmm I will have to explore this more but my point is I’m passionate when I get in here and make what Disney would call magic. Taking a flat piece of fabric and literally dancing with it until it is complete and a garment is made. Only a few people knew the studio was like this… (yes a mini party) few were present and heard the music and felt the atmosphere, still it is where I create these custom beauties.

Well ok, the last few months I have had a serious addition to lace. I think it started before then, but anyway I will not argue because I do love pretty lady lace. I have made so many things with it and still have plans on making more lacey cuties. I don’t want the ordinary you can get this down the street, something with a bit of sparkle and sass. In colors besides black and white, I already have those… As I will show you later I made a black lace dress that is so perfectly lady like. It was a client request and I was happy to oblige. I did several others for clients and still I want more.

 

If I were you I would stay tuned to see what else I make and say. I don’t plan these conversations they just come out. If you have any sewing questions I’d sure love to hear them. I also have Facebook and Instagram pages if you would like to follow me there as well.
