Family Affair

Hello there,

In December, I talked with a lovely lady who wanted me to make a skirt for her and matching skirts for her little princesses. She said there was no hurry so we took some time going back and forth online until she found the fabric she wanted. In January, when I went to get the measurements, it turned into the skirts plus vests and bow-ties for her king and prince and a pair of shorts for the prince.
I'm really grateful for the opportunity.

Enjoy the pictures below.

Bow Ties, Bow Ties, Oh My!

* About 2 weeks ago, I met with a client who needed some alterations done and he asked me to bring samples of the bow ties I had. Well, I did and he ordered one in every print I had so ... 11 bow ties!!! After some minutes trying to follow a YouTube tutorial on tying a bow tie, he requested that I make the bow ties pre-tied and adjustable. I told him I'll look into it.

** I borrowed a friend's store bought, pre-tied and adjustable bow tie and got down to some reverse engineering :). In the process, I came up with so many designs that I think I'll add these (minus his 11) to the Etsy store. Enjoy the designs I have translated from paper to fabric so far (below).

Same African Print - Different Backing (Black vs. Pink)

A Bow-Tie Welcome to 2015

* To end 2014, I started working on a Father and Son collection and the first part of that are these Father and Son bow ties. They are a quick way for dads and their little men to dress alike for Father's Day or just because. 
** They are available for purchase via the Etsy store (click here) and there's the option to request a custom order if you want the bow-ties in a different fabric or you just want part of the set.

Starting with the gifts:

Christmas gifts for Dr. H and his son, KC.
Both ties are half yellow and half red: makes for a couple interesting options, right?
The bow-tie for the boys comes as a pre-made bow with straps that can be adjusted via velcro.

Birthday gifts for Boss (I thought he would prefer neutral colors).
