LATEST WORK

I worked on this for 2 days and I finely finished it...

I started with a blouse and added a length of old sheet and an old dresser runner. I added bits of lace and crochet to areas of darker spots from the tea staining process.

The neckline has elastic so it can be worn off the shoulder or not and the sleeves are simple but quiet nice.

The back has a tiny bow tie at just the right spot. I added  gathers that are pinked and the raw edges are showing just to be different and to make room for the  dance...

The hem is full of beautiful crochet and lace that make the dress swing as you walk.

Size:Small-Medium

Price: $135.00 plus shipping

BUSY...

THE TEA DYED LOOK GREATLY ENHANCES MY PIECES...

I received a shipment of dollies, buttons and crochet lace ribbon a few days ago from a client, I was so excited when I opened the box, it is like having a birthday every time one arrives. 

I feel I have put a few of delicate little pieces from the past to good use on these 

blouses.

I have had request for sizes for that pleasantly plump figure and here is one. This blouse is Size:2X-3X,

SORRY IT IS SOLD...

The back is completely open so a lace camisole would be beautiful under this piece. Price:$75.00

 I made the Pantaloons from an old dress, The size is 2X-3X and 36 inches long. The back has elastic. Price: $65.00

The back is simple and is very see through so a layered affect would be wonderful.

This blouse is a 1X and I used an old sari. I added buttons at the neckline to add interest. Price:$65.00 

SORRY THIS LITTLE PIECE HAS BEEN SOLD...

This blouse has a lot going on, I added different buttons, cut the sleeves out and

I cut the back to give more room for adjustment. There are raw edges here and there for a look that I just love...

The size is Extra Large-1X

Price: $65.00

SORRY THIS LITTLE PIECE HAS BEEN SOLD...

MY TEA DYED SEWING

My latest work has been fun to work on. I found this wonderful bodice in an old trunk that was just full of old doilies. I was so excited I think I must have done a little jig. The measurement at the breast is 36 inches. I love it.

 The front is an old pillow sham and the back is an old tablecloth. I used doilies, lace, ripped sheets, lace curtain and a cuff off another old blouse.Size: Loose Small to Tight Medium
Price:$85.00
SORRY, this little jewel has been SOLD...

 This beautiful blouse started with the wonderful crochet doilie at the bodice that was in that same old trunk. I still can't believe my luck on that day. There are doilies and ribbon and lots of other bits and pieces.
The lopes in the front are actually old curtain rings, but the ivory color matched it perfectly and I couldn't resist.

The back is open and has a button and ribbon loop as well as the bow tied ribbon is made to pull tight or loose to make it very adjustable.
Of course a pretty camisole or tee shirt is to be worn with this blouse but either way  will be wonderful. Size Medium to Large. Price: $65.00
SORRY, this piece has been SOLD...
