I am entering to be a contestant on the
Super Online Sewing Bee and this post is a round up of some of my work. Not all of it and not necessarily the best but what I could find photos of.

My most recent Dress, " Apple Pie" |
|
A true collaboration my friend suggested the rick-rack placement, another the pleats and my daughter the belt. I made this up on a whim over the weekend for Independence Day. My own design. |
|
This was a sheet I found at a garage sale for 50 cents. The moment I saw it I KNEW that it was really a shirtwaist dress with coral trim that no one had made up yet. This is one of my favorite dresses! Comfy, casual cool yet elegant. I made this design up as a went along which is a shame because I may never be able to replicate it. |

Did I make a dress out of fabric with little men in sombreros and donkeys? Yes, yes I did. |
