Yo Gabba Gabba Custom Order

Decisions, decisions, decisions

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

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.

Back of Bodice View
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.
