 Wearing My Garden and Natures Best This Jacket is my personal garden of coneflowers, milkweed, snapdragons, various perennials that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and yellow finches.  At the time I took this picture I made Beveled stained glass windchimes and various stained glass hangers for gardens.   I loved this garden and spent many hours relaxing and destressing watching nature. These are butterflies that I saw landing near my kayaking launch and I later found out that they were getting minerals from the rocks at the lake where I was.  They were tiny, but very colorful. This is a beautiful butterfly I took a picture of and made many designs, on many different fabrics. This is an outfit I love.  The vibrant colors of the pants fabric from Gstreetfabrics.com accompanied by lovely bright garden flowers make me feel more vibrant and awake than I really am. The color of these flowers drew my eyes, and I was lucky enough to find accompanying fabric of ...

  Sleeve details in next pictures Lovely fabrics All from  G Street Fabrics Store   I am there Sun Mon Tues Wednes and most Sat Sun 11-6 All other days the store is open 9:30 to 7:30 On Sat I am usually there 12-7:30 I make all of my clothes, mostly from Gstreet some are my fabric designs, which I use mostly on my free flowing jackets, sometimes I have an ocasional dress out of my design on sport lycra. The places at the store that I use for these free flowing jackets are the poly special table and digging in the Treasure Hunt Room where we sell bits and pieces from Garment Districts in California and New York.  Some great finds in the 'Treasure Hunt Room' at only 3.97 a yard.  These jackets take 2.5 to 3 yards depending on sleeves and direction of print.  The pants about the same, 60 inch fabric for jackets, Pants can be 45 inch, but need at least 2 7/8 for the narrow fabric, and 3 if tall. Crop tops Just however long you want the crop top. Scarves are si...

  This is my basic sleeveless dress that is part of a lot of my outfits.  The fabric is sport lycra.  This is something I started doing to throw in my kayak when I go out in case I want to paddle to a restaurant or boardwalk and I can throw it on over a bathing suit and look presentable.   60 inch wide fabric.  You can quickly make the sleeveless base dress by folding as such, and just make the scoop on one a little lower so it is the front.  This is using a stretch fabric, suchas sport lycra, ponte knit, st matte jersey, scuba. The fabric print is one of my personal prints, made on Spoonflower.com.   No, it is not cheap, but I am many times unique.  Fold over to center on one side.... foldover to center on the other side... then fold in half so both folds are on the outside. This is a regular freeflowing jacket that I make, but the sleeve details changed.  I cut the sleeve elbow length and then cut two large squares of the same fab...

  Colors are nice, but the details make it better Sad until I pulled the collar out and over...and always the scarves. This was a piece of fabric no quite big enough to make a whole jacket..... I folded it over so that I could see on the fold a big enough cut for the back of a jacket, but not necessarily long enough for my liking.   The second piece was too narrow to be the two fronts, so I added a long rectangle of a fabric from my stash to give the width I wanted across the front.  The next piece left was two rectangles I could use for sleeves.  Again, they needed length to make me happy to the banding piece added width to the front rectangles, and length to the bottom and then length to the two sleeves.   I did no curvature to the armholes, I just centered the sleeve rectangles to the shoulder seams and sewn on , just folded tthem in half and made a seam down the middle and all the way down to the side and bottom. Detail in the banding and the colla...

  Just got back from 3 Wonderful calm weeks at the Beach....Love the Beach I have been wanting to do this outfit.   If you were not there when I wore it at work... well It is Flourescent Coral!!!  I love colorful finds. You can see I made a pair of earrings to go with the pants color, the crop top color and the floral jacket color fabric. All fabrics, except for the jackets come from Gstreetfabrics , where I work. As you can see I have many scarves.  I make a scarf and earrings first for every piece of an outfit.  Then I am forced to finish the outfit so I can wear them all together.   I found a scrap of dark green chiffon that hung beautifully, so I made a couple of scarves out of it, because I wear many floral designs that have dark green leaves and thought it would be a nice add to any other color scarves to give a classy feminine accent. The jacket is one of my free flowing jackets...I have many designs, they are my designs...the print on the ...

Rainy Day Beach Save   Grandchildren couldn't come....Last minute throw in a Machine Things I hadn't gotten around to in My Stash The center part of the Jackets front and back were originally displayed on the wall at GStreet Fabrics   I looked at them Everyday from the cashier spot for months.  When they finally  Took them down from the Wall and no one had bought them, I did at the sale discount...I just knew I could figure out a way to make All cotton Jackets that would be unique, and save most of the artists picture on the fabric...They had to be a square designed Jacket. I used the panel Pictures for the Back and fronts and added  square pieces of cotton eyelet and then banded with our solid cottons that matched...adding wide Bias tape for lengthening the sleeves and adding color to pull them together.  As you can see I laid them out first and decided how I wanted the colors to look, and the same with the eyelet, I only had so much eyelet trim  from...
