I have something different to do in February. I'm pretty excited to do a new design. These pictures are for inspiration. The main thing I need to capture is the ruched bodice and she wants some bling. The back will be a full back and I'm thinking fabric covered buttons instead of a zipper.<br />

I just love making this dress. Polka dots are such fun but hard to find, so I can only offer this dress when the fabric is available. I purchased a variety of different dots this year. I like the small dots the best. Dress is a mess right now, uneven skirt, too long of a skirt and I still have to add the sleeves. It is great start for the day though!<br />

Dress has hidden pockets and built in peek a boo tulle. Ruched detail in waist. Very feminine. Partially closed with zipper and buttons. I used embroidery thread for the button holes.<br />

I'm almost done but at a point where I won't be posting so my customer can be the first to see the dress complete. Here is the bodice with sleeves. The skirt is attached and the zipper is put in. I only had to do that once if you can believe it! The details of the skirt is so cute. I sure hope she is happy with it. The back will have a peek a boo with a single button closure from the satin up. <br />

After taking this apart 4 times I have the bodice ready to add the sleeves. The back will button up on the top for a peek-a-boo opening. The beige you see is the underling with the boning, it won't be visible when the dress is completed.<br />

I have a few lace projects this summer. Just look at the pile of lace. The blue is what I'm working on now. It will be a new design. <br />

So far I have the sweet heart neckline done. There will be a pleated skirt with a lace detail at the bottom. Elbow length sleeves. I will continue to post as the dress progresses. I can't wait to get my hands on the black and silver lace. Since I mostly create wedding dresses it isn't very often that I get to deal with colors. </div>

The full lace bodice dress is complete. I will post pictures after my customer receives her gown. I had a major set back with both of my sergers breaking down on me. I am back in action! Here is the 30's Lace gown with more of the bodice details. I'm still messing with gathers on the form. I think I will get a better idea after I attach the bodice lining. I adore the back. <br />

This one is for a customer. It is a deep v neck with ruched midriff. It will have a full skirt with built in petticoat. Unfortunate for me my serger foot broke. I am trying to super glue it over night. Wish me luck. I wanted this dress done by Wednesday.<br />

Special thanks to Ron at Seattle Photography <a href="http://www.ronseattlephotography.com/">http://www.ronseattlephotography.com/</a> and model Vanessa Johnston for allowing me to use these beautiful pictures. This dress turned out so beautifully. I truly loved making it. I've made it four times now. I used Kaufman's radiance silk with this version.

I also made an cute little ruched option that attaches with hook & eyes. I think the next time I make it though I will use the hook & tape. It would have been easy to just add it to the dress. To make it I just measured the front mid section and back sections and made sure to add seam allowance. Doubled the length. These are rectangle shapes. Gathered middle, side seams and the back. Sorry I only have pictures of the front. I was on a time crunch to get the dress shipped in time.</div>

Now how to make the overlay without a pattern. With the chiffon I just ripped it. For the front section width 60" long. To determined the length just measure from your natural waist to where you want the hem to end. Don't forget to add seam allowance. For the back pieces I ripped two 30" wide pieces. If your overlay is say lace, net or tulle which does not rip, I suggest if you have it using a rotary knife. This is perfect for scalloped edges! If you want it fuller just add more inches.</div>

We are going take this lovely wedding gown and transform it to a elegant black 1950's inspired dress. It is the neckline and back I want. Though I had to alter the back because my customer wanted it high enough to wear a bra. Below is the fitting. The dress is also going to have a chiffon overlay. Oh oh seemed to missing a midriff section. </div>

I received these pictures a while ago, but with wedding season I have not been able to keep up with my updates. I also started a facebook account...never thought I'd do that but I think it will be a great way to interact with my customers and fans. Seems weird to say fans, I'm not a rock star ;) For more pictures please visit my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/eleen/416537805064081" target="_blank">facebook page</a> and if you like it please give it a like. Feels like the 80's it's like this and like that. <br />

I made this dress last year, and I am going to guess that it is close to her 1 year anniversary, where you look back at your wedding pictures and maybe think of the person who made your dress. I'm not sure, but it has happened a few times and I'm always very happy to see them on their wonderous day and proud and honored to be a small part of one of the most happiest days in someones life. <br />

Thank you so much for sharing your pictures. You are very beautiful and make a great looking couple. Why do we tend to forget the poor grooms. ;)<br />
<br />
This dress was made from Vogue's Vintage Reproduction 2902. Be warned if you ever try this pattern there is a lot of hand sewing. I used a bridal satin and the petticoat is layers of red and white, which gave its pink hue. I did not make the sash or fascinator. I adore the shoes. <br />

Not sure if it is available for sure. I have a pet peeve when vintage pattern websites keep the patterns and don't tag them as sold. Yes keep them for record but please put a big red <span style="color: red;"><strong>SOLD</strong></span> next to them! I get happy thinking I can by a dream pattern, put in my cart just to see it is unavailable. Not saying the above link does that, just saying I did not test it, so don't get happy just in case.<br />

I did win a pattern today....but I'm going to wait to I make it before posting. I'm think I may just have a little contest afterwards. The winner will get a pattern and I will make sure it is a cute one! The winner will be the first person who comments with the right number and brand of the pattern. I don't have it yet, but I do have fabric on hand to make it. I'm super excited. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412309426046613811.post-1678924822872577972012-03-06T20:34:00.001-08:002012-03-06T20:34:10.915-08:00Some pretty fabric for me<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I got this beautiful fabric, that I'm hoping to make myself something out of. I'm usually not into florals much and always seem to be drawn to black. This fabric just caught my eye and I could not say no.<br />

Yes not there is black :) Or maybe I will use it for a sample dress for the boutique. We discussed reception dresses for the bride. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412309426046613811.post-76072102856988332262012-03-06T01:29:00.000-08:002012-03-06T01:29:53.590-08:00I've always been partial to Brother Machines...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
But how I can resist this Retro Singer machine. Is it because it is black and looks so cool? Has anyone purchased it and if so thoughts on it? Honestly I probably won't give up on my brother machine but this Singer sure would look nice in my sewing room. <br />

Last year I was contact by a local bridal boutique to be a feature designer. Of course I'm interested in it, but I never seem to have the time to actually make and send samples.Well they contacted me again this year. Here is the link <a href="http://www.lemonchiffonbridalboutique.com/" target="_blank">Lemon Chiffon Bridal Boutique</a>. <br />
<br />
They are opened to anything, but really want to start a Eco Friendly line. I have one dress that fits and am on <a href="http://www.hemptraders.com/index.php?cPath=21" target="_blank">Hemp Traders</a> now to find some fabrics. I've purchase from them before and the fabric is so nice. I want to do a new design though. Not that the one I have isn't good, it is just an opportunity to do something new so I'm going to grab it! Stayed tuned. I am putting the samples in my schedule for April.<br />

This pattern is so cute! It is on <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1950s-Skirted-Dress-Pattern-16-34-Butterick-6300-Womens-Clothing-/290679134762?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43add39a2a" target="_blank">Ebay</a> right now and yes it is in my watch list, but you all know that I don't mind sharing great pattern finds and maybe we can get in a bid war, I'm kind of poor right now so you have a good chance! ;) <br />
