The Imaginative Seamstress

I've made a number of these but never had the chance to take photos of them. The only photos I'd posted before were sent to me from a sweet customer, Susan. Here's the post where the pictures from Susan are. The first time Susan ordered she was still on the mainland, but shortly after, she moved to Hawaii! I just have to share 2 pictures she sent me :-) I was a little jealous of her home and asked her to send me pictures haha :-)  Just BEAUTIFUL!!! Wish I could go there!! :-) Sorry, I got side tracked! But can you blame me?!?! Surely not :-) Oh, another thing I found was that it only takes a few days for the mail to reach Hawaii.  Now onto pics I took this past Tuesday... This is between a woman's size 18 and 20. If this print is well liked, I'll buy all that is currently in stock! So if you don't mind giving feedback, I'd appreciate it so much!! :-)    Elastic casing at the under-bust. Pinned to show how the

I came to a point of needing a mental break from orders. And it was really great to take a break! If I don't take time for some creativity I'll go crazy with all these custom orders that require me to pay close attention to details all the time. This was my mental break... I took some time on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning to finally put this idea together! It had been sitting, cut out on my table for at least a week. And this idea has been rolling around in my head for about a year now. Its a criss-cross styled nursing top. I had one cut out last Summer and just never got it all put together. Its still in pieces. Just recently I cut out 2 from this shiny teal fabric I'd gotten in. It was light weight and sparkly! Like I said, I cut out 2. Both would look exactly alike on the outside, but the nursing access would look different on the inside. I had asked a friend if she'd be willing to try them both out and tell me which she liked better. Well, I put one together and d

I believe this is my first review!! I'm reviewing a flexi clip, for a little lady named Taylor. Taylor is a consultant for the company Lila Rose, which makes hair accessories. Some are rather fancy, and could be referred to as "hair jewelry". :-)  We're doing a rewiew on the flexi by name of, Turquoise Tranquility. I LOVE turquiose!!! And this is what it looks like:  I'm sure you've seen these advertized around. I know I had before this review, but I had never tried one. Years ago I had something similar to a flexi clip, but it was made of leather and had a wooden stick. Because of the nature of those materials, and the fact that I liked to put my freshly washed hair up with it.. well, the wet eventually ruined the wood and leather, but mostly the wooden stick. I've not had hair accessory to create this style with for several years. I was all for trying it out! Plus.. I thought it would be fun to write my first review! :-) I knew it would be a l

So true!!! Here is what I was distracted by on Sunday night... The Hubby suggested we go through boxes in our guestroom, and by the end of the night, I was sewing!!!  I have boxes of fabrics for up-cycling into different things. You may find an old dress of mine, or a skirt, shirts, pants.. some of which were ruined by a stain and I figured I'd turn the good fabric into something else 'one day'... If not using for clothing, for making fabric flowers!!! :-) Also, you'll find clothing pieces that I mean to alter, regular clothes I meant to turn into maternity. Or like a short skirt that I want to add fabric to the bottom of, to make a new skirt. Such were the skirts and fabric I found on Sunday night...   Skirts I found...  or pieces of skirts I found...  This had been a skirt of mine, and I'd cut off the bottom. It had some rather interesting/strange pleats in the skirt, but they had never laid right, and they had begun to come un-stitched!
