I MADE A COSTUME!!

Yay Haley for trusting me to make her Halloween costume! I did more work on hers than I did my own...

Skirt

Petticoat

Bloomers

Vest

Puffy Shirt

Rock on!

It looks legit!

The Hardest Thing I've Ever Made. Ever.

Please ignore the unbrushed hair and the messy room.

Kimmy's Sequined Tail Coat for Rocky this year at the Chico Cabaret.

Of course we were making a lined jacket and of course I didn't have a pattern for a lined jacket.

Of course I waited until the last minute.

Of course it took me Three whole days.

Of course it is just a costume, but I hope she loves it and I hope to Goodness Gracious that it fits!

Tristan and his Tricked out Apron!

This is Tristan! He's 8 and wants to be a pastry chef when he grows up.

His super cool mom ordered this apron for him! Yeah yeah yeah, it's a little big, but he'll grow!

Hopefully when he's famous on the food network he'll remember the little folks that got him there :) Swingin Martinis Designs was there in the beginning to protect his clothes from the ravages of frosting!

Bella and her Britches

Here is my friend Chelsi's super cute daughter named Bella. She needed some bloomers to go with her pretty brown dress...a very magical dress indeed...ask me about it sometime.

Bella also needed cute flowers for her hair:

Rock on Bella! Thanks for struttin' your Swingin Martinis Designs goods!

More new projects!

A custom camera case to Australia!

She found this image and wanted it incorporated...so I did some make shift embroidery and it turned out pretty cool!

This is a fun make up brush roll from another custom request on etsy!

She was really nice and let me try my make shift embroidery on a name patch she wanted on there...

It turned out pretty cool!


This is an awful picture of some cherry potholders I made! I have three more sets of potholders on the back burner waiting to be made...no pun intended :)

And a really awesome chickadee ordered this stylish make up bag! I'm kind of jealous and what one myself!

A heap of aprons!

We have two matching kid aprons for some cousins...yeah, I think they're cousins...

I bought this fun fabric MONTHS ago for kitchen curtains, but it didn't match our kitchen...I hear that the kids love them...so that's nice! They are just 100% cotton, bias tape and D rings for an adjustable neck strap!

We have another kid apron...I think I'm making them too big though...that was a custom request on Etsy. Thankfully the mom is a little punk and she appreciates black for this basic, sturdy, 100% cotton apron. I got the mixer fabric online a while ago (see other post) and got to use it for a fun pocket!

This apron is another Etsy custom request, but all the way from Australia! It's waterproof too! I found this really awesome iron on vinyl! I made some coasters out of it once and have not had a problem, and outdoor place mats for my Grandma...
I just took a cotton fabric that she picked out online, ironed on the vinyl, added some bias tape and Voila!
This is for a woman who just got into Lapidary. I hope this works for her!

Fun Project from this weekend

A friend from work placed an order this weekend. After I made the wrong item with the wrong fabric, and after I realized that I didn't thread my bobbin properly - I finally turned them out! They turned out really cool!
