In the studio

Happy clutter, thats what I call it!
Making me smile, while working away at my sewing machine.

Happy Studio Clutter

Still sewing the flower girl dresses! It's been one of those projects I have had to rip out seams, and re-do a hundred times, or so it seems! I am beginning to dislike the fabric and colors of these dresses, simply because I am tired of looking at them.
A love hate relationship~

Aren't they cute little dresses! Please say so! I found the cutest little Chinese frog clasps to hold the cross over bodice shut.

The bride's colors are pink, navy blue, and gold. Still deciding whether of not I should have the girls wear gold shoes or hot pink?!
Such decisions....what a tough life! ha~ We already have the gold shoes, because they will be wearing them at the other wedding, just a few weeks later.

Better get back to work, still have the hem the dresses and sew the last sleeve on......oh, and the sashes, and hand stitch the cute hot pink clasps. Good thing it's FRIDAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wishing you a happy weekend, peeps!

Lovely dresses, the fabric is beautiful and I adore those frogs! I have to ask, where did you get your pincushions? I finally found one at an antique store, but yours look brand new - love 'em!

Allie,
If you are talking about the Chinese pincushions, my sweet momma found them for pennies, in China Town! :)
You could probably find them on e-bay, as well?
Good luck, and thanks for stopping by!

The dress is beautiful. I love the ruffle and the fabric choices. The frog goes prefectly. I think I would need to see each girl in the dress with the different color shoes to decide
on which color.
