Lavender & Yellow Ruffle Halter Dress

This dress is the same style as the one posted below. The main difference is that I added a ruffle to the underskirt. I love the simplicity and elegance of the dress. If you click on the photo, it will enlarge so you can see the detail.

Purple and Orange Floral Halter Dress

Just a fun twirly dress for summer! It is a halter style with shirred back for comfort. The skirt is two layered to give a little contrast. I think I will be offering a custom slot of this dress on the Creatively Serene congo soon. For those of you who are not aware of what a congo is - it is a group of shops on hyena cart who get together to sell in one setting. Creatively Serene has so really great shops and I am so pleased to be able to join them soon!

Retro Flowers short set

This floral fabric is so fun! It can be paired with so many different colors and look great. In this set, I paired it with a burnt orange (bright but not too bright). The top is a puffed sleeve, shirred front and back tee. The sleeves and hemline are finished with lettuce edge. The shorts have a yoga-style waistband in brunt orange and the hem is again finished with a lettuce edge.

Helicopters!

Well it has been a long couple of months break from sewing! I am finally starting to come out of the fog of the hyperemesis of this pregnancy. So first on my list was an outfit for my son. This helicopter print was perfect (or so I thought). I finished this outfit and he proceeded to tell me he wanted it green! The shirt is a curved raglan and is paired with a pair of yoked shorts. I love the detail on the shorts - yoked front and back with angled pockets on the front and back. It feels so good to be sewing again!
