Another fabric flower headband...may go great with a little black strapless dress.

Dress Ideas

Last night I bought fabric to make my first dress, but of course I can stop my mind from creating, and already have other ideas I can't wait to make. This summer is already full of weddings, showers, family gatherings, etc. so I have to find a dress to wear to these events. I was looking in my closet and found a dress that I bought will the price tags still on. Since everyone is aware that we are in a recession, and that in these times we must be creative with what we have, I decided to take this three year old, little black strapless dress and add to it to make it a little more dressy. I am going to try to embellish it will some flowers...found the following pictures for inspiration on the J Crew website.

I have recently been searching for inspiration online and want to begin making children's clothes. I used to sew much more when I was little and just recently worked on a "Product Runway" outfit with a group of girls from work. We used Maharam fabrics to create a dress. I forgot how fun and "therapeutic" sewing can be. Creating children's clothes is my next endeavor. I keep stumbling upon Amy Butlers fabrics and patterns. I love the colors she uses and the combination of prints.

I found these beautiful hairpieces by designer Jennifer Behr. Click on her link to view more. These would be wonderful for a wedding or other fancy occasion. So simple and elegant.

Rya has just recently learned to pose for the camera since I photograph her so often. These pictures were taken after a long day of playing in the gardens. She is a wonderful dog. I am sure you will see more of her on my blog!
