The Imaginative Seamstress

I know I promised to have this up a week ago (or at least I said so on my Facebook Fan Page) and I'm sorry.. life has been more than a little busy. I think I'm going to start scheduling my posts and just write a few at a time, when I feel like it, and my brain is in blogging mode.  I promised to show you some of what my weekend looked like...a few weeks ago. So here it is. (and I promise I'm going to do better with blogging!)  You wouldn't think that we'd take a weekend get away at my inlaw's house would you? ;-) No, we just went for a visit, but it sure felt like a get away. When I go to my in law's home, they go out of their way to make us feel at home. My Mother-in-love many times, insists that I don't help cook or clean... and she holds the baby while I sew! That's right, she lets me bring my sewing machine and clears room for me at the kitchen table. I know right? All my crafting/sewing buddies have my permission to be terribly jealous!

I've not had pictures taken of this style since October 2011. I should have gotten some more during my second pregnancy but apparently I was busy with other things...? Yep, that happens :-)   Fortunately I have friends who after much badgering, (not really) consent to modeling swimwear for me. Which is awesome! Here are some new photos of the Maternity Scrunch Top....     This top was made for a customer of mine, Beth. The bottoms pictured belong to my model, Tasha. I made them for her in 2011.  Very nice detailed shot of the rouching, or *scrunching* as everyone is calling it :-) ~ Lovely ~ I continue to take orders for these, and people keep loving them :-) I Have 5 waiting for me to make them up now. Woohoo! Lots of lovely mama's getting pretty suits. Love it! I am blessed and my customers tell me that it is a blessing for me to make it for them. Thank you all for your support and for allowing me to do what it is I love to do! Its so aweso

Who doesn't have an old pair of jeans with holes in the knees? Well, in this case the jeans did not have holes in the knees, they were just too short :-( I had this pair of jeans that I LOVED but they were always too short. So recently I decided to turn them into shorts! Why not? I did, after all, need a pair of denim shorts :-) They also had a stain on them, so I decided to put some applique flowers over that. Okay, I'm lying.. I was going to put the flowers on there no matter if there was a stain or not lol! Its a fun and easy project! I am feeling most brilliant at the moment :-) I have a pair of shorts now! Yay!!!  Not the easiest thing to do to take a picture of yourself modeling clothes :-)
