Another student inspired Upcycle.

She is 7, and has been hinting for the last month that it would be so nice to have a sweater with a Blue Doggie on it!! I wasn't sure what I'd do. It would have to have dimension - the ears are floppy, and have pieces that could change - the bandanas can be swapped out.

The design was inspired from a doodle that one of Darrin's students left on a paper. (See pics)

Ohhhh did I ever enjoy making this💙🐾

*thrift hoodie, upcycled shirt, scrap pieces, blanket and chain stitch embroidery, and loads of laughter.

Upcycled Apron created from a crib duvet cover from the 1950's, handmade by the customers grandmother. She has been keeping it but now it's been repurposed into a piece she can use. The ties were created using the hem of the piece. The ruffle detail was created from a thrift haul blouse.
I didn't use a pattern. I looked up measurements online and then adjusted from there.

There is still leftover material so ... more to come!

*Bob, the minion is quite pleased too.

Finishing details. I added red sleeves because she loves red! I also added an extra inch of length to them so it will fit her longer. Plus her pocket hug and my signature ❤️
Now to hope she likes it🙏✨

What a fun morning creating this for a student. She looked at me in ernest and asked could I pleeeease make her a sweater with a house on it🏡❤️
*when we were checking to see if I had a sweater in a size to fit, I pulled out this one. The graphic on it was a huge spider 🕷️... "no, no, no!!! I don't want that, I'm scared of spiders!!" After assuring her the spider would be covered, she agreed it would work.
So, like every house, the spider is there, you just can't see him😉.

What I've been working on ... added blanket stitching to a customer sweater and a fun commission for a football fan.
It was a good opportunity to practice embroidery stitches I haven't done in many years!!

How about this SUPER MODEL💜
I was thrilled to make this one-of-kind thrifted hoodie for M.a. Wieler. It's my "thank you" for being my 100th follower on Instagram. (Its a big milestone for my little business.) I am so grateful for all of the encouragement.
Oh and sometimes the stars do align because Alison and her husband Pete are the kind of people that make you so thankful you know them. It is another moment of serendipity.
*This sewing seams (😉) to be full of moments like that.

Just know ... all of these pieces are made with JOY built right in.
✨💜✨
