Wistful

March 29, 2018 By kym Leave a Comment

Can’t you just see a southern belle lounging on the porch, fan in one hand, mint julep in the other while wearing this dress?

This upcycled beauty was created by combining a lace top and floral print georgette skirt with an asymmetrical hemline.  The lace top had some holes and tears in it that were repaired by the placement of vintage doilies and other lace trims.  The elastic waist and top yoke of the skirt were removed and the skirt was then blended with the top to create a dress from the two pieces.  Leftover pieces of the skirt were used to fashion new fluttery cap sleeves for the dress and remnants of polka dot chiffon were formed into bows for further texture and pattern.

Mother of pearls buttons, pearls and Swarovski crystals further accent and embellish the romantic and feminine design of this dress.

It is so satisfying and inspiring to take two tired garments and give them a second chance to make someone feel beautiful and special!

Romantic Slip Style Tunics

March 28, 2018 By kym Leave a Comment

These tunic style tops (or dresses for those more daring) were created by upcycling slips, lingerie camisoles and chemises.  Fabric overlays, trims, ribbons, crystals and other embellishments were added to take attire normally reserved for the bedroom to the street.  Layer over a tank, skinny jeans and jewelled sandals for a feminine and unique look this spring/summer.

  • As promised, finished piece using trims and supplies posted yesterday.  Used more of that dreamy striped linen at hemline and sleeves and the precious last bit of some discontinued beaded trim as collar detailing and a headband for the skull.  Even though this top looks heavy, light as a wisp black cotton and breezy linen make it suitable for warmer weather too.  Still loving lace trim found @darrellthomastextiles, amazing to sew with and perfect for the feminine sleeves!

  • The right tools always make the task at hand easier! I finally purchased this sewing awl for myself.  Another treasure from the cabinet @darrellthomastextiles.  I was using an awl more suited for utility purposes (2nd photo) and while it worked, was not really appropriate for all applications and fabrics.  Better for leather and vinyls.  My new one has a finer point and provides more control.  I used it this morning to create holes in which to hammer together these rose embossed brasd button on the piece I am currently working on.  Soooo much better!
