Selfie by Elton

Here is my client taking a selfie before he went out the door in his awesome Elton John outfit. I can't wait to see more.  This was designed as it was made. Of course, with more time there would have been some changes but I think it is awesome.

Feeling inspired

Although I enjoy all of the work I do,  my newest client is bringing me some really fun stuff. This is a dress she had that I will be "re-creating" (nice word for knocking off).  Hers is too small for her so altering it is not an option. And taking it apart to copy it is also off the table.  So I will be drafting a new pattern. I am so excited to do it I drew it in Illustrator just for fun.

Elton almost done.

Seahawks hoodie done

This was a design as you sew project. The hoodie in the pic (and the kid) were not the same as my client but I think I did a pretty good job. Here it is from start to finish.  I hope this costume gets him good treats.  And maybe is good karma for the Seahawks

Elton John Dodgers embellishment

First plan was to glue the cut off pilates onto the logo.  Yuck. Off to Joanne's and some sequins - way better.  It will be easy to clean it up and go from there. 
Thank goodness for Elmer's school glue.

Lady Gaga in progress

by tomorrow this will be a muslin ready for fitting

Updating shirts

My client has these shirts she does not wear because she dislikes some of the style and fit elements. I am going to do some basic alterations which should really update them.  I will put before and afters but right now, they are all glommed together on a dress form next to Elton John.
