Yo Gabba Gabba Custom Order

image

Well, I finally, almost, completed this latest project, the Yo Gabba Gabba custom design that was ordered by the mother of a 2-year-old.  I had to do a little scaling because of the size of the dress, but did not want to do too much to allow room for growth.  My granddaughter now wears her dress as a tunic top with leggings underneath and a turtleneck since it is chilly, but she loves it.  

I also incorporated some additions with this dress, adding piping to the sleeves and neckline, also, I could no longer locate the blue rhinestone sunburst patches for the pockets, so I selected a pink rose, cut the stem off of the patch to had a metallic silver ric-rac stem flanked with hot pink lace rose florets which I used as the leaves.  I really liked the look and hope the client does as well.  My granddaughter liked this dress I made more and wanted me to send her old dress and let her keep this one!!  Oh, she also made her own character that she painted while I was painting, so we had a blast.  

Now, I only have to add the button in the back, give it a final once over and pressing and finish the special extra accessory I am working on for this outfit and I will be done.   The accessory will be showing up in the shop soon and can be an additional item to go with any outfit in the shop.  

My next project will be an Easter design that is floating around in my thoughts, unless another order comes in.  Hope you all are well and thank you for stopping by.

Decisions, decisions, decisions

image

Well, in my last posting I mentioned the fabulous yarn I found that matched my fabric so well, I had to purchase it and I was not certain how to incorporate it into the design, originally I was going to either trim the sleeves with a ruffled crochet design or make some type of floral embellishment for the top portion of the peasant top; however, upon working on the garment, I decided neither of those options would give me the end result I wanted, but I wrapped the yarn around the waist of viola! There is was.  I wanted to add beading into the belt/scarf design and love how it came out as a nice slim tie.  I liked it so much I decided to offer it as a separate item in the shop.   Hopefully whoever selects this design will also decide to acquire the belt as the whole ensemble works so well together.  

Off to finish the top, then onto the lounge pants.  Thanks for stopping by.

Thanksgiving / Autumn Peasant Top and Lounge Pants

image

I put together these wonderful fall colors for design that I have been thinking about for some time now. No pattern for this one, I am just winging it.  I fell in love with the yarn, but not sure how I am going to incorporate it into the design just yet.  We will see what happens as it transpires! Wish me luck and come back to see the progress.

Custom order completed

Project complete! This was a fun order to work on, especially coordinating all of the fabrics  and accessories.  This pattern is a favorite of ours so hopefully the client will love it as well.  My granddaughter loves to twirl in her dress like this. I really like the back view of the garment as well.

Now, the only thing left is the surprise gift I am making for this client; then out the package will go, priority mail, on Monday.  Look for this garment and matching accessory to be available in my shop soon.

Back of Bodice View

image 

This view of the back of the bodice shows how wonderfully the buttons complement this fabric.  So far, I am very pleased with the design and am certain the garment will be completed by the set timeframe.  Next step, gather and attach the piped skirt and trim.  Final update to come soon.
