The Imaginative Seamstress

So, as promised, I am posting pictures of some recent work. I'm not entirely sure I have all the pictures though. My hubby has the 2nd camera card at the moment, and I think there are more on there. But we shall proceed with posting this blog. I can update it later if needed. I'm actually going to do a little bit of cheating here.. its so close to midnight, and I said in my last post that I would blog again before July was out.. so its STILL July, with only 20 minutes to spare lol! The cheating I'm referring to is that I'm going to publish this blog post without the photos, so the time stamp reads 'July 31st' and I'm still in the 'July' window lol! Its bad, I know! :-P The pictures below are of projects finished in July 2015.       Top with the seamless sleeve!  This is something I've been experimenting with. The criss cross nursing top. Here, done in maternity. ...

Most of the time, I've not met the people who order from me. But recently I was so flattered to receive orders from 2 friends. And one of these friends I was particularly surprised to get an order from. The reason I was surprised, is that I know she could make her own suit if she wanted to. I've seen suits she has made. So she either didn't have the time, or she thought that I would do a great job! Either way, I'm flattered that she wanted me to make her a suit :-) Totally honored to be entrusted with making their suits! This is her suit...  And this is her Sister In Law's suit...

Prepping to send out a few orders tomorrow. I took pictures of 2 of the suits so far. I know I've not posted in a loooong time!!! Its been a very wild past month. They say when it rains, it pours! And well, it must be true. I first found out that I needed a root canal, and that happens this week. Then, the very next day, my daddy was in an accident that put him in the hospital, in critical condition. Shortly after that, my hubby totaled his truck. The truck being totaled put it over the top for me. Too much to handle at one time! These days, any one extra thing that goes wrong makes me melt into an emotional puddle... for example, me crying on the State Trooper who pulled me over because I wasn't paying attention to my speed. Poor guy, I told him, it wasn't him that made me cry. I got a warning is all. Still didn't help my mood :-P Its been a rough time, and we're not though it. But in everything, the Lord has been gracious to all of us. Many people have loved on ...

My dad once told me that the devil was in the details... I was like 'huh?' What it means is, its the details that will get you. You've got to pay attention to detail to do a good job! It takes time and practice to get details perfect. I'm always working on getting my finishes to look sharp and professional. I took these photos of my most recent order. The sleeves are a bit longer than normal, due to customer's request :-) I love my porch for taking photos!
