Things have been busy here in my crafting space. Lots of fun wee projects to keep me busy!
Some shorts drafted from an existing pair for a customer (quite challenging but successful), I relined a woolen cap and replaced the lining in some curtains.
I also made a cute mushroom skirt for myself and a green velvet dress.
And I finally finished a multi layered skirt with back tie that had been sitting half done in the back of the closet for months!

I found 3 metres of linen at the op-shop for $12 (!!!) a few weeks back, just enough to create this cute wee dress. The tie can be worn multiple ways and it has pockets!

Then a blue square neck version appeared from some fabric in my stash. I don't even remember where it came from hehe. And I'm just about to start another in olive green ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜

I had a custom order recently for two Japanese style aprons (no straps to tie) in denim. I enjoyed creating them so much I made another from some fun retro fabric I had in my stash.

The retro one is currently for sale if it takes your fancy! โค๏ธ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›

A few custom orders for a wrap top with balloon sleeves and cuffs, and matching waistcoat and bow-tie.

Made from some gorgeous cushion fabric! ๐Ÿ˜

To be worn to a gold and black themed Photography Awards event in Christchurch.

This definitely got the wheels turning to draft the top, I was given just a photo of the idea to create it from. Really enjoyed the whole process โค๏ธ

A cute wee custom order for some memory cushions upcycled from a favourite dressing gown of a beloved mother-in-law. I kept the pockets and loops and downsized the belt for a cute reimagination โค
