This lovely blouse is on its way to England...It was a simple sleeveless shirt...that needed just a little tweaking...

I cut rectangles out of the front and back...then added patches from a vintage cotton tablecloth....

The hem is full of very pretty vintage doilies and tattered fabric...

The simple shirt with just a touch of tweaking has turned into beautiful blouse that can be worn to work..to the park or even on a night out with pair of tight jeans and hills...

LATEST SALE...

 I created this lovely vest hoodie for a special client...
I started with a simple linen vest that needed just a little tweaking...
I first added the hoodie...which was a vintage tea towel with a touch of embroidery...
next I added the full hem with lots of vintage doilies,lace from curtains, tattered fabric,crochet lace and ribbon...I then tea dyed whole piece...last... there was a dummy pocket flap...I pinked it off...I added different old buttons along with satin ribbon as a tie off using the mother of pearl buttons that came all the way from England...to dress it up...

As usual I leave raw edges and cut hems off center to add to each piece I create...
...no two pieces will ever be alike...
