Sunny Wrap Dress

Ready for some sports

I finally got back in the sewing room to start working on some things for the grandbabies.  My embroidery machine was in the shop but is working great now.  I made this for my twin grandbabies (boy and girl) to support their mom who is a coach  I can't wait to take them to the games.

Tana Tutu Dress Customer Creation

A customer sent this today using the Tana Tutu Dress Pattern.  I love the use of rick rack in place of ribbon as the trim.  So cute.

McKensie Dress Customer Creation

A customer emailed me this picture of the dress she made using the McKensie Pattern.  It's a great pattern to use up scraps.  It takes very little fabric and you can mix and match patterns and prints.  The added buttons are a great touch.

Check out my Etsy shop and facebook page for patterns and updates.

Dodie Sundress Pattern Now Available

The Dodie Sundress Pattern is now available in my Etsy shop and soon to be available at some of the retailers.  It's a quick and easy dress to make.  It doesn't take alot of fabric and scraps can be used for the bodice and straps.  Add some embroidery or trim to the bodice for a different look.  A great dress for summer fun.

More Tester Pics for the Dodie Sundress Pattern

This is the Dodie Sundress made by Nicole at Cole's Creations.   

She added some buttons and trim to the bodice to give it a unique look.

The original draft was shorter so she added a ruffle for the needed length.  The final draft will be longer.

Check out Coles' Corner and Creations blog and etsy shop.

Sunny Wrap Dress - Customer Creation

I got these pictures in my email today from a customer in the UK. She used the Sunny Wrap Dress pattern and added the ribbon and button to the front.

Call me Grandma

I have been having two things on the top of my "bucket" list for a long time - a trip to Italy and granchildren. I had the opportunity to travel to Italy this past Maywhile there received the news that I am going to be a grandma in mid January. Yesterday we found out it is a girl!!! Time to start sewing!!!!

Dance Costume using Karen Capri Pattern

I recently helped design a dance costume for my friend who runs the Tippy Toes Studio. I used an adjusted Karen Capri halter top pattern. Instead of straps, I used black ribbon and instead of fabric ties, I used black tulle tied in a bow in the back. They wore them over the shiny gold leotards. Here is a picture of the class. They not only looked great but danced great also.
