here are some new creations from the past few weeks..
this dress is made from an ancient corset + old shopping bags from germany..
it went to live on a farm with a beautiful woman named colette.

the heliotrope skirt..hand dyed, stitched with antique lace, seeds, and glass pearls… .*

the lattice skirt.. made for miss jasmine teafaerie

the tabitha skirt.. hand dyed + stitched with antique lace. ..*

the pierrot coat..
i started this 3 years ago, and for some reason just could. not. finish. it.
then miss tara saw it + fell in love..
i finished it at last, (thankfullly!) and she wore it to the edwardian ball
as part of a 5 piece outfit i created for her.. will be posting some of the other pieces soon..

it’s made from 1800’s waistcoat remnants, with spiderweb lace scattered about.
here’s a shot of tara at the ball..

+ last, but not least, is the gillian skirt.. for cj in australia..*
made from antique velvet, lace, mourning skirts.. tiny beads + salvaged treasures..

so much sewing,,,….! there’s even more pictures! but i need a computer break :>,,
i will save them for the next post.

dyeing is my most favorite thing these days,,..
i’ve stumbled into a most enchanting obsession with color!
creating my own colors to sew with is inspiring me so much..
and heightening my awareness of color in the world;
dead flowers, light through leaves, the slow fading of buildings..
nature truly knows best, and i’m taking a lot of notes :>

i got a custom order right before christmas, for a magic cloak,
based on the old fairytale tatterhood..
for a very special girl, named talulah.. she is in love with the story,
and her birthday was on christmas!
here is the cloak i made…

+ here is an illustration from the story..

talulah loves the cloak,, i’m so glad..
it’s funny, but i was much more nervous making
something for a child than a grown-up..
remembering how vividly i visualized the clothes and details in the stories
i read as a child, i was pretty determined for this piece to be
jumping straight out of the story.. it seems like a success..
i was also informed that the cloak has 18?! pockets..
which is awesome. i had lost count while making it. :)

here’s another custom piece i recently finished..
a storyteller/theatre fellow commissioned this coat.
he is wearing it for his readings at schools and plays!
i love that crowds of children are probably looking at it for hours..

other than a couple wedding dresses, i’m taking a custom order break
for awhile..
which means there will be more things in the shop for you all.. :)

hello internets,

long time, no see..
i’ve been making a lot of custom things..
here is a skirt i made for my dear friend connie..
she makes clothes too; her line is called voyles vogue.

i gave it to connie right before she left for a trip,
and received lots of pretty pictures of her..
playing in the snow in this lovely mermaid skirt.

making things for people you love is the best!
