Well, I had a great trip to Chattanooga. While there we attempted to learn to stiple. I have yet to put it into practice for real, so no guarantees. I'm not ready to add that to my list of sewing skills quite yet.
Next weekend I'm signed up for a class on how to start your own embroidery business. Now that is a skill I am confident I can offer. Let's hope we learn lots and maybe I'll actually put some things in my etsy shop!
Last night I finished sewing an Oliver+S 2+2 Blouse (View A) for Lulu. It's one of the first things I have sewn for fall. If only it were a little bit breezy in Houston so I could justify letting her wear it out of the house!
I made the 18-24 month size everywhere except for the length which is a 3T. I wanted it to be a little more tunic-like to go over some little brown leggings instead. It turned out just as I pictured. I'm considering making my next one even longer for little bit to wear as a dress!
I opted for a button closer at the neckline instead of the ties because she's at the age where she would just try to either eat them or pull them off all day.
Here's the 2+2 Blouse (View B) I made for her last fall. I don't even remember when she was that little!
I have lots more to share including my first dress using entredeaux and lace! I'll have to wait for her to wake up so I can take pictures.
I caved and purchased these as soon as they became available. I couldn't resist. I'm not proud of it. Now I am just waiting patiently for the package to arrive at my door.
how in the world have i just now found this blog? you are ridiculously talented and i plan on being a solid contributor to your yearly clothes-making income one day! i miss you and can't wait to see you in a few weeks!
