'RELICS'

New line of clothing....and her name is Relic's

Everything will have a feel of ancient days...of a calmer quieter time. With loose flowing tops and pants that will have plenty of room to move.

  

There will still be plenty of raw edges as the ancient of days calls for it. Speaking of the 'Ancient of Days' here is a necklace I created. The 'Venus' was hand sculpted and stained to create that aged patina of lovely bones....

I have also been working on expanding my Bohemian style as well. LOTS of fashion 'Reworks' at Prairie Style Design.

These lovelies came together quiet well. 

The top was a crochet halter that I connected with a flowing hem of another top. The skirt was from the reminiscence pile at a local fabric store. It rides low on the hips with two hand stitched button holes. The length is long to be cut to fit the new owner.

The shop is doing well and I am getting wonderfully creative vendors to entice the customers.

I have been so so busy. My customer base is growing wonderfully. I now have several clients that drop by on a regular basis for me to create new things from their old clothes. I can do simple to extravagant, from turning a large into a 1X to something like this beautiful skirt.

 This is an original. I created this for a client in Florida. She plans to wear in at the Gasparilla Pirate Festival. http://gasparillapiratefest.com/ She has purchase a beautiful leather vest with all sort of metal bits and pieces on it...I can't wait to see photos of her all dolled up.

Here is a true Prairie outfit...all tatters and lace.

 This jacket had nice 'bones' but was pretty staid....I cut the hemline, too it and cut it into strips. I stitched around all to stop ravel, then stitched back to the new jacket.

*********This is the start of my Bohemian Prairie summer line for 2014.**********

I use several bits and pieces to create these one of a kind skirts. They can be found at my Facebook page...Prairie Child Design.

                FINELY A DREAM COMES TRUE....MY VERY OWN SHOP.                       WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE......

Stop by my little boutique..PRAIRIE CHILD DESIGN 

It's right off I-65 back behind the Cracker Barrel @

1221 Kelli Dr. #A

Athens, AL

I have been in the process of setting up shop keeping. I found the most wonderful little log cabin and it is in a fantastic location.

I am just starting to get things somewhat organized, SO THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME!!!

 Everything in the front area will be my up-cycled work.. Remember to reuse...recycle and re-purpose.....ALWAYS!!!!

 I really want it to have that old 20's to 30's feel. With just a touch of, 'rolled hard and put up wet', look...if you can imagine that....lol

THE COUNTER..I plan to wrap all my sold clothing...in paper.......            like they use to do back in the day.

 This is going to be a little seating area. I put news paper and old photos on this corner of the shop..to give it that touch of desperation in a brothel fashion.

I mentioned the front area....

There is a back room as well and I will have consignment there.

 My plan is to have all things 'woman'. 

ALL handmade items...such as purses/totes with a vintage look, that special jewelry, wonderful smelling soaps, soy candles that can be used as a lotion,etc...etc...

There is a third room......

I will have my sewing studio at the shop as well. On certain days I will be sewing only and on other days ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!!!!!
