BUSY...BUSY...BUSY.....

                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!!!!!

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE.....

It has been a while since I last posted.

                               BLACK SEE THROUGH 1930'S STYLE

SORRY....THIS LOVELY HAS SOLD....

This lovely is a Medium

 but, could be worn by as a Large and only $75.00

The shoulders are open which will give it plenty of room. 

It would look beautiful over a black lacy camisole and black skinny slacks OR wide leg satin pajama pants.

RECENT THINGS.....

 Here is a couple photos of my booth...I decided to add some color along with the tea dye and white...

 

This is a couple examples of a few sales.  

The pantaloons are in Canada and the dress is in Wisconsin...

LATEST CREATIONS....

I recently finished this lovely custom jumper and the client loved it.

 She provided the embroidery place mats. They were lovely...I almost hated to cut them up....She tried it on and fell in love....

 This lovely crochet over blouse was a first for me. I used all vintage pieces to create this beautiful top. It is for sale and can be found on my Etsy page.........SOLD

I created this 1920's style shift with a dress and curtain panel. It has a nice flow when you twirl. It can be found on my Etsy page......SOLD

I have been collecting vintage crochet pieces with green for a while and I finely found a dress that would go with the green. It had a second layer so when I cut the hem of the dress to create the blouse I left the

under layer longer to give the new blouse much more umph....lol The neckline, sleeves and waist all have elastic and are very expandable.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED....EMAIL ME....

CHECKING IN...

It has been a few days... since I last posted on here...

Here is an example of my latest work...

              This lovely started out as a double lined lace long john shirt.

 I cut the collar, sleeves and hem off. I ripped the under shirt up and sewed it to the neckline and down the front. I also added a bit of lace here and there. I used some of the cut hem to make the bow tie at the neck.

 After all this I tea dyed it and dried on delicate..

All my clothes can be dried on delicate...as wash and go...no ironing needed. Just something to remember....easy peasy...SOLD

...a pretty booth.

This my booth this week at the Craftsmen Cottage.

Since I took this photo the little girls dress in the front has been sold. A local photographer plans to use it in her work.

The 9 new pieces are a Large or larger. if you see something you like you can request extra photos.

This lovely outfit is more beautiful then the photo shows.

I used a bed sheet to create the blouse. It has wonderful lace at the hem that was actually a dresser topper. It has a tie off in the back to create more of a waist if wanted.

The pantaloons are a first. I started with a small pair of pajama bottoms. It was a cotton with a white pattern. I added a  very soft vintage cotton tablecloth to the outside legs and the same bed sheet fabric area and a simple lace to the gathered hemline. The 2x-3x blouse is sleeveless and could be worn with another Prairie style blouse or your favorite denim shirt...SOLD

.

Here is a sweet little jumper blouse. 

I wanted it to have a little French feel..so..I used a a curtain panel to make the skirt part an a fancy embroidered tea towel to make the bibby. The shoulder straps criss-cross in the back. It has drawstrings on either side sot that is adjustable from Small to Large. It is listed on my Etsy page....SOLD
