1940s Dressing Gown

I made this for my older sister a while ago as she asked me for a bathrobe. Bathrobe? That's too boring, so I upgraded to a retro dressing gown instead (essentially a fancy bathrobe). I found the tan satin for a great deal, and I had just barley enough scrap lace for the contrast! I used the Butterick 5152 pattern and had my younger sister (my artist buddy,) do the fashion sketch.

Gidget Pajamas

This is an adorable little pajama set I made for my sister. It is a tradition in my family to get pajamas the night before someone's birthday - and I was quickly disappointed with the selection available at the stores.



So, I decided to take over.

Retro Dress


Doll Clothes

A cute duo I made up for neighbor. My favorite part is the bloomers!



Blessing Dress

Isn't she precious? I was asked to make this blessing dress for her. The design is simple and has a little bit of flower trim and a couple of bows. The bottom of the dress (too long for these pictures) has a beautiful eyelet design.


Red Top

This was a fun little top I made. The original design I drew had straps, but I decided to skip it. Here my sister models it for Valentines Day.
