So far today, have done new hems on three special occasion dresses. This particular one is a 2nd hand gown for resale. I found this one in the bins, missing rhinestones and someone hand sewed the sides to make this dress smaller. I restored the original size, harvested extra stones near the hem and shortened it so the harvested edge was turned under. I will be reselling this Privy rhinestone dress size Large for $18👗

It's prom season. This dress needed a hem adjustment. 2 inches off the front , 6 off the sides, 10 off the back. I couldn't do it from the waistline as it's asymmetrical. So had to trim the base and every circular ruffle cascading down(all 24 of them). Then I had to edge every single ruffle to match the existing edges. This has officially been the most challenging hem I've ever had to tackle. Please clap.

Today, I got inspired by scraps on the cutting floor. Made this upcycled denim bracelet using a denim seam scrap, added star brads, salvaged necklace parts and a couple of snaps to create this fun accessory 🔄

This is recycling. Taking packing paper that arrives in shipped orders of sewing notions, ironing it flat and rolling it up to be used in art, drafting sewing patterns or to be used wrapping gifts. Waste not!

Really LOVE how these turned out! Happy Birthday to ME💖

Since all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy, I decided to play tonight to recharge my mood. These are all works in progress, as I'm sure to add a little bit of everything to create one-of-a-kind pieces🤩

Made some Fruity Pebbles crispy treats and my family cut them like this...and the theme song from Tetris starts playing in my head. Because of course it does.

Remember I said I found a plain black prairie skirt at the Goodwill bins? It's not plain anymore! It's a work in progress, which means I'm gonna keep adding stuff until I think it's done🤣
