Fabric everywhere

I miss all my buds out there. I haven't had much time to even lurk around . haha. I'm not complainin' mind ya, but....wowza....It's crazy here in my workroom. I am surrounded with a lot of this brown nylon chiffon while I make pettiskirts for bridesmaids. I will hopefully supply pics of the wedding party later because these rockin' cowgirls are really gonna be cute.
In the meantime, I try to keep all the layers separated into their individual skirts prior to sewing all together. There are little stacks placed neatly.....Oh No, only in my dreams! They get stacked and piled anywhere within arms reach!

But, I must share the happiness that Ms. Manni has this week. Another bit of gleam and fanciness adorned her figure. That girl just loves her rhinestones and sequins!

This is a sneak peek of the back of another lovely gown........
Our local Prom event will happen in the next week and I hope to have the full shots of the girls wearing their beautiful dresses. OK, Prom gals....that was my serious call for photos and all the scoop of the evening.

I'm sitting here with fabric staring me in the face wondering why I'm not in the sweatshop. Next, we have a parade of draperies and various window treatments for no less than 15 different windows. I'm smilin' here and just drop by for a chit-chat anytime y'all.

sewing first and painting second

Here we are with all our ruffles and ribbons in place. Phew, that was a lot of ruffling for about a dozen little skirts. Perhaps I will locate a little fashionista soon for a show and tell moment.

I have been clearing my mess....oops.....Organizing! my space and locating the table surface to work on again.

And here is a sneak PEEK to a project that is in progress. It is a surprise for a reader and I don't want to give it all up yet. I can say it does involve wire cutters, old papers, decoupage probably and of course...PAINT.

Getting Ruffled!

Progress finally! I just had to hang some of these little skirts in the works to see progress happening. My worktable was out of control with all the ruffles and that isn't the end of it either. These are all waiting their finishing touches to put the frill on just in time for Valentine's for some sweet little girl.

I'm already out of posting time because the sewing machine is calling me. So, let's get stitching.....
