Latest jobs



I finally finished these two shirts for two of my co-workers. These were actual jobs!! I even got paid! This black shirt was basically made-to-order. Cindy wanted a black, mesh net top that she could wear with a camisole underneath. I made my own pattern for this, with bell sleeves, and lined the neck and the bottoms of the sleeves with velvet trim. It's really beautiful, and I can't wait to see her wear it.
This blue shirt is basically the same pattern, but I made a neck band out of navy velvet, and I did basically the same thing with the bottoms of the sleeves; I made bias strips out of leftover fabric, folded them in half, and sewed them on as bands. The result was really unique, especially on the sleeves. Anyone want one of these? Give me a call, and we'll talk!!

I have a shirt I'd like-been looking all over the place for years!!! I want a sheer, white long sleeved, button down-very plain and simple-it would be the fabric that would make it stand out....
