Everybody loves Bob Marley!

This is Marley.

Kristi Suguturaga took our family pictures last year and did a FABULOUS job. As a thank you I made this dress for her daughter and ties for her sons. I decided on reggae colors because I knew (judging from Kristi's family pictures) that they are Bob Marley fans. I was so happy when they came to church sporting their new outfits and I was even more thrilled that the dress fit!

The little pink dress.




I made this dress for cousin Melinda Logan...she had her first girl!!! Every girl needs a pink dress... with ruffles =)



I added eyelet to the belt at the last minute.

Dad's Birthday


I made my dad these ties for his birthday. I learned a new way of making them so I was able to sew them in half the time!

My little helper


Actually he doesn't help me at all, he prohibits me from doing any kind of sewing. He likes to pull out needles, climb on my lap while I'm trying to sew and walk all over any material I have laid out on the floor. It's impossible to work on any project with him around which is why I have to sew while is he asleep. But he sure is cute sporting that scrap material from my newly made cardigan that I o so love!

One pattern...two dresses.


So remember the dresses I made for Tia Pope's bridemaids?? well the pattern grew on me and I decided to make a dress for myself, using material I bought at the LA fabric district $1 a yard!! This dress required about 1 1/2 yards so it cost me about $1.50 and 3 hours to make!! Sounds like a bargain to me!!

Puletasi


I've been asked to make puletasi's in the past but the plans would never go through. So when Mary Latu asked if I would make her one for her SIL's wedding I instantly agreed and was excited. Hopefully more pictures to come...

Lastest Project.


Tia Pope asked me to make 9 of these for her bridesmaids. They were simple dresses but it took me many hours to finally complete the project. I was pleased with the end product and the girls looked beautiful.
