Birch Blossom Twirling Style

These were just finished for sisters. The redondo set is a size 6 and the dress is a 12-18 month. The dress is a peasant top bodice with a redondo style skirt. I really love the embroidery on the redondo set! I will have to use it on something for my dd.

Twice the Twirls

I just finished a new skirt set. It is the Laguna pattern from Studio Tantrum. It is a two layer spiraled circle skirt. When your little one twirls you see the two layers. I am not sure I am in love this the shirt and embroidery yet. It will have to be modeled for me to know for sure - hopefully in the morning.

On A Whim Wavy Dress

I was commissioned to make an Easter dress with some chicks on it. The On A Whim fabric by Kaufman was a perfect choice. The green flowered fabric is actually from Joann. I love this dress style! Simple peasant top bodice with a wavy layers with lots of twirl factor!

Monthly Basket Towels

I have started working on this collection of towels. It has been a slow start. I had hoped to have them done before Christmas but that was not the case. Each towel takes a little more than an hour to embroider. The designs are from Julia Needles Designs. Here are some photos of the first 4 towels. Now I have a couple of months until I need the rest done.

I would not have thought to use flannel for a Redondo skirt, but I had a request for one (actually two for sisters). These are made from quilter's flannel. One is a size 2 and the other is a size 4.

Cute Twirly Baby/Toddler Dresses

Here are two dresses I just finished. The mom really like the redondo skirts - but her baby is in 12-18 month clothing. I used a self drafted peasant top for the bodice and modified the skirt pattern to fit my needs.


This first one is in the Chocolate Lollipop fabrics by Free spirit. The skirt is a modified redondo.

The second one is in Iota flower & paisley by Kauffman. The skirt was is similar to the Sasha pattern - wavy tiers. I love the simplicity of the embroidery on the bodice.

Jeans & Knit Top for Me!

I am so tired of not being able to find jeans that fit me properly. So I decided to make my own. I like to wear my jeans around my hips and loose in the thigh area. To get that in RTW jeans - I need to size up and the waistband is usually too big. I used the latest women's ottobre issue for both of these patterns. I modified the jeans to taper more in the waist area. It made need to come in some more. A couple more iterations and I should have it exactly how I like them. I even did the rivets on the pocket. The top is a also from that issue. I fund this fun knit - it is very thing though. I think I will size the top down next time.

Goldfish Vida Dress

This style is just so much fun. There are so many variations that can be made with this dress! In this one, I used the Heather Ross Goldfish fabric and some others that just coordinated. I cannot wait to sew up the next one. If it was not so late tonight I would cut another one out.

Dream Bikes Wave Dress

My husband loves this fabric for our daughter. It has taken me a little while to figure out what I wanted to make with it. I finally decided on a wave dress. It has lots of twirl factor. My daughter just loves it! She actually tried it on while I was making it.
