I'm still waiting....

I came across this picture on my phone a while back and just remembered that I never posted it. I know why though, I was waiting for the bride to send me pictures of her 12 bridesmaids in these skirts. 3 years later, I am still waiting. So I guess I'll just post this lone picture and say that I made 12 of them at one point in time. =)

My little Samoan/Tongan/Haole mutt!

My sweet Leila bum modeling a puletasi I made for a cute little girl in Arizona who will be celebrating her 1st birthday. Leila already knows when I finish sewing something and I want her to try it on because she immediately runs away. She does this EVERY time. Today I chased her into the bedroom just so that I could put the puletasi on and then I had to bribe her with fruit snacks just so that I could snap a few shots. She such a little rascal!

Pretty in Pink

I was asked to sew for an entire line of bridesmaids. And for a Polynesian wedding that means big! Nine dresses total! While I've sewn for entire lines before, this was my first time sewing dresses without having a single fitting! All the girls lived an ocean away and all I had were their measurements. While this would have been a piece of cake for a REAL professional seamstress, I am use to and need my girls to be fitted not once but twice throughout the process. I need to adjust and cut as needed and I never like my clients to leave without being completely satisfied with how the dress looks on them. So naturally I was very hesitant but the bride was insistent, and so I surrendered. She picked out a simple yet attractive pattern. So here are the dresses and I am just crossing my fingers they fit!

 

 

I managed to get one picture!!!

 

 

More beach robes!!!!

I made beach robes as birthday presents but of course as protocol, before they are wrapped and given away, my kids have to model them for me.
