New Floppy Flowers Design

Well, I've used my flowers idea now on 3 dresses and I'm loving it!

First, a girly bunny theme in pastels:


Then a more modern MOD theme on brown for that Fallish look:


And lastly, more Fall colors but lots of color on a wild dyed blue and green dress:


WHAT'S NEXT?

I just got in a new set of blanks for children's smock tops, REALLY CUTE, here is a photo from my supplier, Dharma:



These are in sizes 2t, 4t, 6, 8 and 10 so finally something for the older girls! I wish they made this style for adults, I would totally wear one! The only one they make for adults is a "tummy stick out shirt" YIKES for me.

Oh, and I made my second treasury on Etsy, Viva Cuba:



My first one is gone and I didn't save a .jpg! Oh well. I've been in a few treasuries as well, woohoo!

I'm going on a short vacation to visit family tomorrow so won't be creating until next week again. Adios!

New Work in Progress

Stayed up until almost 2 AM last night to work on some of the ideas mentioned in my last post and here are the photos:

I dyed and tie-dyed strips of jersey knit fabric in Fall colors:


Then I cut two sizes of circles and one leaf, and sewed two together using a zig zag stitch. Here are some of them (not done yet):


I will then make flowers out of the circles using a cool button for the center, and arrange on the dress hem or somewhere else, not sure yet, and sew on:


And here is the same concept using a print cotton fabric. The buttons on these are from Italy, from a friend's grandmothers collection. Not sure I'm ready to part with those but I have had them in a bag forever:
