It’s the most wonderful time, of the yearrrr…. It’s Skirt Week! Woohoo! I can’t believe this is my 3rd year creating a tutorial for the gals over at Crafterhours. I also can’t believe I used the word ‘gals’. What am I Paula Deen? Anyway, this year it wasn’t too hard to figure out what type […]

My Little Pony Rainbow Dash Dress with a Crazy Tulle Hooded Mane
AKA: Possibly the most ridiculous piece of attire I have ever made… I actually started making this dress for Sophie Monster because she loves Rainbow Dash but once she saw the CRAZY hooded mane she wanted nothing to do with it, luckily her fashion saavy sister had no problem jumping in. The dress is made […]

Video tutorial with Sam: Child’s flower bridal veil

I made the dress for Sam out of a tank-top & some pre-ruffled fabric. I […]
American Apparel Inspired Circle Skirt
