New Stitch

Herringbone stitch. I learned how to do this earlier this morning, I'm pretty excited; once I had repeat the pattern about 3 times, my fingers got the hang of it and started moving like I like them to. Stayed tuned to see what pretty things I make with this guy. I think it will be a great stitch for cowls or bags.

Sunday Sketching

So I was doing some Sunday sketching yesterday. These are a few of the dress, and I have a few coats  I want to be working on as well. I've got a collection in mind, which will be fun to make one again, seems like lately I've been doing just single pieces for specific occasions. People aren't really my strong suit, so I go for the more alien looking figures, as a friend of mine pointed out to me. I do really care what my sketches look like as long as I understand what I'm trying to say.

Wedding Bells

So I finally got some photos of a wedding dress I had made this past summer! This is a friend of mine who got married this last August and I made her dress for her. I think she is looking pretty fabulous if you ask me. Are you looking for a dress for something special? Feel free to contact me and I can help you out.

Clutch-tastic

I know I've been MIA for a bit, but I have been keeping myself busy and working on this little guy. This is my newest creation and there will be more to come. The front is alpaca felt, that I made myself, then I took that felt and quilted it with metallic gold embroidery thread. The back and flap over is a super soft leather and I choose a bright silky lining for the inside. It has a simple snap closure and I think this will be the perfect accessory for going out on the town. Let me know what you think, I'm eager to get some feedback on these. And as usual you will be able to find it up on my Etsy shop at Needle in the Fog.
