Chiffon Cascade Scarf


Here's the perfect scarf to add a bit a glam to your spring wardrode. 

This light aqua silk chiffon scarf has grape- like clusters at each end.  There are sequined flowers connected by a gold embroidered vine through out the body of the scarf.

The scarf is approximately 58"x 19"

It is for sale for $15.

Chiffon Cascade

A quick, fun, and easy project. I took a piece of embroidered silk chiffon I had (I bought it without really knowing what it was going to be) and cut it so the selvage edges were at the ends of the scarf. The sides were finished using a rolled hem on the serger. The fun detail is the "grape" clusters at each end of the scarf.

The scarf is wide enough that it can also be worn as a shawl.

This project was inspired by Pretty Ditty.

Something Amazing

This was another custom order from Etsy. I really enjoyed working with this client and creating a dress for her.
She wanted a dress that matched this picture (birdcage not included):

After searching a couple stores, I finally found the fabric on one of my on- line sources. So glad I did :)

The dress is a simple wrap style top with an open back detail. The skirt is gathered just below the waistband which is accented with a blue and silver ribbon.



I love the way the dress turned out. It's very light and feminine and "floaty." My DH told me it looked like it is the type of dress that you would wear to an afternoon garden party lol!
Still trying to figure out the best way to photograph the finished projects. Most of the time the pictures I post just don't do the outfits justice. So, if anyone out there has some tips, please leave me some comments :)
