Love it when a custom order comes together! Its sometimes hard to envision the outfit from a photo of the fabric you are trying to match. So when the client comes back with an extremely happy response to the finished product and sends photos of the complete matching outfit, it makes it all worthwhile.  Thanks Lisa for the positive feedback of all the compliments you received!! ๐Ÿ’–

Love making these little leather flowers! They take a bit of time to cut out but look pretty cute when they're completed.  This all leather mini pillbox sits on a wide satin covered headband with five handmade black and white leather flowers and is super comfy to wear. It's the newest addition to the For Sale page!! Click on the tab to check out all the details.

Had an order for something I haven't done a lot of...a Fascinator on a headband. Not my traditional work but pretty happy with how it finished up. And more to the point, the client was rapped!




                                   








And I finally got to work with my new two piece block last week. Rather than go for the traditional design I decided to separate the two and make it a little more interesting. It took a lot of hours (over 5 in total๐Ÿ˜‘) to block and stitch but I think it was worth it. Click on the For Sale tab for details

Apparently Winter is just around the corner(?), so it's time to get some felt on the blocks! Worked two this last week.  One for me and one for sale.  The Black Beauty is for sale so head to the For Sale page for all the details.





Who said Yellow and Blue don't go together?  Completed and delivered this gorgeous custom piece this week and I think it turned out amazing!

Having Fun with Leather

Just finished this Navy Leather Button.  Thought I'd try to put a little spin on the boring old button shape and add a bit of interest to the design with some detail.  Starting with a couple of pleats worked in while blocking the base for this one, I'm keen to try and add a bit more sculpture and flair to each new piece.  Love thinking outside the box and stretching the perimeters of what I've got to work with!  Click on For Sale page for more details of this navy button.
