The Laurel with moustaches

Finally my last entry to the Laurel contest. It's for the self designed category, it took about 2 days to paint, wash and dry and about a day to sew and I am realy proud of it.

So enough talk, let's bring the pictures.

Colatte Laurel dress (sarafan)

Well, it time to reveal the dress with the detail on the neckline that I showed you in last week's sneak preview.

It's an entry in the Laurel contest for the fall category because it's a thicker fabric and it's suited for fall and for spring to be worn over a shirt or something with longer sleeves.

I made little modifications on the pattern for this dress and it was ready in 2 days. Really easy to sew pattern once you don't do so many alterations.

Sneak preview

Wow, it's been about 2 weeks since my last post.....but I've been busy sewing for the Laurel contest. Basically all my days in the past 2 weeks were scheduled like this: wake up, go to work, get home from work, eat, sew, sew, sew, sleep. It was like hitting the repeat button.

Hubby said that wherever I went I was leaving small threads behind me....and it didn't surprised me at all because the whole house was filled with little threads, and my hair, and my clothes...there were threads everywhere, hihi.

But I managed to finish the blouse and a dress and all that remains now is for me to get my paycheck and go buy some fabric and paint so I can get started with the last dress.

Until I can get some pictures taken for the blouse and dress to post them I'm letting you with a sneak preview of the detail on the dress.

Love and kisses, 

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

I don't even know what to write because I'm practically doing the dance of joy......

Ok. Now I'm calmer. So the reason for my happiness right now is......"drums please": my minty dress got featured on the front page of Burdastyle.com on the "Featured Member Projects" section. I ALWAYS wanted to get on the first page of Burda.

And here is the proof:

Disregard the open tabs I have in crome or my bookmarks or anything because I am so eagerly to share my joy with you I'm not even going to edit the printscreen.

I'm now going to share my joy on facebook too so,
Love and kisses,

Remake: from white to mint

Hello, hello

Do you remember my angel dress (here it is), well after staring at it in the closet for almost a year I decided that I don't have where to wear it so I made a few changes and now I love it, love it, love it.

White and blue balloon

Well, it's not quite a balloon, it's a dress. But it inflates as a balloon when the wind is blowing and it's so hard to get a good picture of it...
