PRAIRIE CHILD ITEMS...FOR..SALE

Starting now I plan to be more active with my Prairie Child blog

and I am keeping my fingers crossed to make it happen...:)

 I am all over the place in the social either world....lol as well as sewing for the public. With Christmas right around the corner I am trying to create items for Christmas presents, All who know me, knows that I make 90% of the presents I give....Time is short.

I have recently acquired another dress form so there may be some major changes in my creative style.

 I have  up-cycled for the last two years using everything from old bed sheets to curtains to old tablecloths to get the yardage that is needed to create those unique pieces.

STARTING IN THE NEW YEAR.... I am going to start using some new linen yardage to add to the up-cycled line.

 I want to create a casual feminine line with soft crumpled no iron wear.

   

HERE ARE SOME OF MY LATEST PIECES...

they are listed on my Etsy page and you can use the app on the Prairie Child blog to reach it.

 I have been trying to find the time to add new information to my blog...but...time is hard to come by...lol. I do hope you will be with me as I  break out into NEW IDEAS...

 Here is my idea of a pair of ultra baggy pantaloons. I used a pair of curtains to make a couple different pieces and this is one example. I am wearing the other curtain panel.....lol 

. 

 This sweater and skirt can be worn together or separately. I used 3 different sweaters to create this lovely piece. The skirt was a linen curtain and it is beautiful...this photo does not do it justice. .

 This beautiful linen blouse will fit that pleasantly plump female...like me...I added the little pocket low to be used. It would be great for a teacher or anyone that is constantly looking for somewhere to put that pen or that odd item you don't want to loose.

 I created this very adjustable jumper to fit several sizes. A table runner, vintage lace and a skirt were all stitched together to create this lovely summer jumper. A silk camisole, or a simple sport bra will look great under this piece....Showing a little extra skin is not a bad thing....:)

This VINTAGE blouse is factory made so I don't know exactly how old it is.

 I cut the sleeves, the collar and added loads of vintage doilies, lace,tattered fabric. It is light weight and see through. This lovely blouse and  nice sport bra would look beautiful over a pair of you favorite skinny jeans.

I hope and really will try to be more constant in blogging.....so..keep an eye out for my posts and remember....check my Etsy page to purchase one or more oft these items. Thanks PC 

DREAMINGS

Of late I have been daydreaming of opening a real storefront...a little boutique in an old brick building with wood floors and a tin ceiling.....
I think I would like to see my clothes on racks with the sun shining through large front windows and a large antique table filled with bits and pieces of old lace and tattered fabrics..Yes..I do think I shall have to daydream a little harder.....

GREAT NEWS.......

Hello My Lovelies......I just had to let you All know.....that Prairie Child Design is soon to be in it's FIRST publication.....Altered Couture Magazine...has graciously asked me to be apart of their lovely magazine..a four page spread in the next issue...I am so proud and I hope you all will be happy with me.....Thanks..PC

FOUND A NEW HOME.....

I sold these 2 pieces to a repeat client....She loves my work and has purchased from me on several occasions..

The lovely lace blouse is to be worn over a vintage cotton slip and this simple prairie dress. Thanks Ms. K.   

LATEST SALES....

These pantaloons are a custom made pair...I used an old bed sheet and part of a curtain....I added bits and pieces of tattered fabric and lace, lots of vintage lace as well.

This top needed just a touch of the Prairie feel, so I added lots of tattered fabric and vintage lace. The customer wanted the pantaloons to somewhat match the blouse, so I added the same bits and pieces on both pieces.Thanks Ms. D.

A FEW SALES......

This lovely outfit was totally up-cycled. I used part of the blouse on another piece then added a love table runner for the part that had been cut away....The skirt was long and boring...I used some of the hem on another blouse and decided to cut the rest of the skirt to create this lovely asymmetrical hem full of bits and pieces.                                                                         The whole outfit came out beautifully.  

 This mini bustle turned out wonderful...I showed the piece with lovely vintage broaches to give an idea of how to wear it...It can be worn in the front like an apron, in the back like a bustle or as a cape to be worn over that special prairie outfit.....

 This sweater is a small so I turned it in to a prairie bolaro  ....and I added several pieces of doilies,  ribbon and vintage mother of pearl buttons....

...JUST A FEW PIECES THAT FOUND A NEW HOME.....

This beautiful dress started out as an old sheet...I added lots to vintage lace and loads of bits and pieces...

This pair of Taps was a pair of Capri's that got turned into a bit of sexxyness...The feminine quality is surely there.... 

This blouse was bought by a return client....Thanks Ms. K
