Oliver + S: Birthday Party Dress

Hello and Happy New Year!

I wanted to share a few photos of a garment I completed this past week.  The pattern is the Birthday Party Dress by Oliver + S.  The body fabric is Laura Gunn's Poppy Bouquet in Gray and the accent is Kaffe Fassett's Shot Cotton in Terra Cotta.  The fabric, thread and the pattern were purchased at Spool Sewing and the buttons were purchased at their sister store, Loop.  

I'm very happy with the outcome (especially since I started this in September!).  I've shared more info and photos on my blog if you are interested.

Wee Bit Trendy's Pee Pee Tee Pee

Our latest creation is the Pee Pee Tee Pee.  It's a small tent that protects you frm sprinkles during diaper changes.  If your baby boy happens to go while your changing him, the tee pee catches it, and it stays in one place.  Once soiled, throw it in the wash and use it over and over again.

We used a teddy bear to get our point across :-)

Baby Shower Candy Favors by Wee Bit Trendy

So I've been busy in the kitchen this week.  The kitchen magically transforms into a cooking studio on days when I'm in the mood to make some candy!

I created lots of baby shower favors... for customers, for samples, and just for fun too (sometimes WEE just can't help ourselves).  Wanted to share with everyone!



PMC pendants

This past Saturday I took a 1-day workshop class on Precious Metal Clay (PMC) at University of the Arts. This stuff is awesome- it's basically clay with silver particles in it, and when you fire it in a kiln the clay goes away and leaves 99% pure silver behind. You can form it and put textures in it and add glass and stones. I think I'm in love with it and hope to explore it more. I made these two pendants that I love, all in this one class!
