skulls and more tulle......

found some tulle in rather big pile of fabric but white not quite right so dyed it, did not know that tulle does not like dye must have done something wrong..... oh well at least it is a pale mauve sort of color.....

Along with some purple cotton fabric and skulls of course ..... i have a thing for lace you may have noticed..... i have created this skirt....

Lace skulls and tulle

So with some white cotton fabric black skulls, add a black tulle layer, add a lacy layer, add some black lace to the white cotton fabric, a bit of elastic to add some gathering  details.

What you get is a cute skirt..... well i think its cute any way.....

And now to continue sewing .........

well what i should have done today was mow my lawn it is only a foot high...... my excuse no petrol..... maybe tomorrow...

Was thinking about another creation......

Well a nice long weekend due to public holiday, so i was thinking of making another creations.....

but i have so much fabric dont know where exactly to start ....... so will probably spend most of time off just deciding....

But i know it will possible be another skirt creation or two or three and lace well why not....

will get back to you on that one....

Another lacy number...

I have created another lacy skirt which seem to take for ever to finish.....

I think it turned out very cute....

I got my daughter to help create some new photos for my skirt today.....

She has fun creating the whole look thank you lovely Amy

So now to fix up my ETSY shop with the new photos....

And Now One Lace skirt

So the pile of lace is now a skirt..... and i think it looks really cute.....

It took quite a few hours to complete and yes i have a neck ache but totally worth it....

now to put up on Etsy for all to see.....

and what next i say well i have more lace and this time maybe some black lace as well....

Work and other boring stuff......

Well i really wish i could work less hours and get same money.... 

work is so boring...... 

the customers are great but the job is repetitious...

I think i would love to spend my day sewing and just pretending to create stuff.....

I have a pile of lace might try and make something from it...... lovely soft pastel colors....pink, blue, green, bit different from the black that is in most of my stuff......

any way of  to it i go.....

Moving day

Well not my moving day, my daughters moving day, and what a day is has been, there new home is very nice, but no power for at least the next 10  days, some mix up with the builder or some thing like that,

lucky they own next door as well so can use that power, but with two young children i would say it will not be much fun......

They do have a pretty nice view from there deck........ the sun streams in in the morning so lovely...cannot wait to stay.....

So home now and off course i just had to do some sewing......

i thought that these fabrics might work together

with some black and lace

some layers would look awesome so here are the resulting creations......

I just wish i could take better pictures.......

Happy mother day........and time to sew

Well got bored this afternoon so what do you do when bored you sew of course...

and here it is

Blue leopard print fabric

Blue grommet tape with satin lacing

and lace around bottom and a black cut overlay

Playing with fabrics green and blue...

Woke up nice and early and thought i should organize my room so many tubs of fabric......

instead i think i would rather play and see what i can do with them......

love the greens

and the blues

nothing better thank pink with lace.

now to sew ...... something blue unusual prison print fabric lace dot netting overlay

and something green lace wide stretch waist band

and i guess something pink pink heart satin fabric and cut black lace

well that's it for now i will attempt to organize my stuff......

nope i had to keep sewing didn't i and well another green creations

wide stretch waist band tulle lace

well my not being lazy is a good thing....

well another sale which was unexpected so i guess go crazy and create something totally out there is a good idea

finally got over the lazies.........

Listed some new stuff after my lovely sleep in...........

The holidays ending fast....... easter is on its way..... happy easter to all....

Set about creating a new skirt yesterday..... i think it turned out pretty good..... my daughter wants to keep it..... would like to share it with you.....

the skirt is made from stretch pin stripe, 

with cotton skull fabric.

i added some d-ring tape to attach ribbon gives it a corset type affect.

added some lace and checkered fabric to hem, a couple of black lace flowers and a zip and its ready to wear.

i think it turned out pretty cool and looks really nice on.
