Hi everyone – how are you?
I have been a little stretched lately, but somehow in between feeding my children, endlessly cleaning my house, and fulfilling Etsy orders, I’ve managed to also do some daydreaming AND some creating for FALL! Yikes, good heaven’s to Betsy, can you even believe it’s almost FALL???
Here on the surface of the Sun (Austin, TX), we have a heat index of 110. It seems a little ridiculous to be creating long-sleeved, dark colored, heavy-weight fabric dresses….but such is the call of a dressmaker, I suppose. If not, then it was just simply a whim completely without reason. I can live with that, too.
Either way – I’m waiting to find time to take “real” photos of this one so all I’ve got is a teaser. OOOOOHHH, scandalous!
You’ll notice it’s a nice deep heather gray – and I’ve added just the most fun embellishment out there – YOYO’S! And to top it off, the yoyos are made from the most beautiful and luxurious fabric ever – straight from the streets of PARIS!!! (That’s why I used it for the yoyos – I couldn’t bear to cut into it and lose it forever. This way it will slowly but slowly just disappear. I like that. I don’t like quick goodbyes)
So here it is….sorry for the lame-O photograph. If you saw my iphone, you’d understand!

It's a Long-sleeved dress that's accented with these little fabric Yo Yos - and the bodice and sleeves are finished with bias tape from the same fun fabric!
