Clothing line clothesline of upcycled altered tshirts by Wise Sewcial Ties on Etsy. This summer has been fun. My children are so great at allowing me to work/sew while they are on their summer break. This set of dresses where made one Friday morning with the beach on my mind and in my heart. The beach print tshirts are all reused old cast off clothing. All my clothing fit me a plus size curvy modern bohemian gypsy. Can I add more ways to describe my personality? The answer is yes. I am a Florida native who has been transplanted to the Carolina's. I hope you will take the time to see all the other upcycled goodies I have stitched for myself and for the enjoyment of others. </div>

It has the ability to soften your look. It can be so interesting peeking below your top layer and is a fun way to still wear a mini dress over jeans at 40.<br>

Im crazy about Dolls. I am lucky to have two girls and a niece whom also enjoy dolls and dress up time. This is my latest doll with reclaimed knit hair. I hand stitch the hair. Her face is hand painted. I am a painter and enjoy using my paint brushes as much as possible. I have found that my children allow me to paint with out trying to get involved in my canvas. I set up their own paper and paints if they are interested in painting along side me.<br />

I use modern and reclaimed fabrics to keep it Eco Chic yet fresh and playful. Making a matching dress for your little one and her doll is so rewarding, trendy and yet timeless. Having a professional photograph the moment will be your little ones favorite scrapbook page!

Using Lightroom 3 is easy. The before and after shots show how nice it is to develop photos at home. I print my photos on everyday photo paper using my HP printer for my own personal displays at home. It has been my dream to photograph, develop and print my own photos myself. </div>

Saving money and encouraging little ones to try new things is a couple of the rewards at store when you hand make holiday decor. The Internet is a vital tool in teaching yourself to experiment with mediums. Craft stores local and online are happy to give advice and direction as well. For less then ten dollars and only three materials to purchase this burlap shabby chic wreath was a breeze and I love the added texture to my front door.Big Birdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17958397509454648119noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731667585973845444.post-43987802568907337572011-10-05T06:41:00.000-07:002011-10-05T06:41:11.062-07:00Mini Top Hat<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9lXVZJtVY67O5Q87x72JlbvfW6feu2ZvxbzjpO68ih6P9H1sV328Amx-Gc51HMAK7LTn-QP-QCBgyHNfSYB6mIgzcAR2ts2v5dJlXdiMOC4Tsch_QyajZQrq5Q4rRxtYPTYrodRTcBps/s1600/hat+on+lauren+009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9lXVZJtVY67O5Q87x72JlbvfW6feu2ZvxbzjpO68ih6P9H1sV328Amx-Gc51HMAK7LTn-QP-QCBgyHNfSYB6mIgzcAR2ts2v5dJlXdiMOC4Tsch_QyajZQrq5Q4rRxtYPTYrodRTcBps/s320/hat+on+lauren+009.JPG" /></a></div><br />

I've had on my to do list this mini top hat project. I have boxes of scrap fabric I've held on to and getting my hot glue gun out gets me excited. I enjoying gluing things put as much as painting on canvas, cutting and stitching fabric! The instructions to create this mini hat are on the Internet and are extremely easy to follow. I did not use cardboard as was instructed. I have stiff stabilizer from the craft store. My kids loved how this turned out. I am happy that it fits a child or an adult and it could possible be worn on a pet but I recommend supervising the pet and children while they have it on. It is a headband that ties and will adjust to different size and shaped heads.Big Birdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17958397509454648119noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731667585973845444.post-28769082127228435572011-09-25T09:56:00.001-07:002011-09-25T09:56:15.060-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've had the pleasure of designing for a celebrity photographer and artist Rena Durham. The dress and cuffs are a Wise Sewcial Ties creation featuring modern, vintage and upcycled fabrics inspired by Rena's vision and my own love for texture. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to work with Rena and her child celebrity. This image I have and am sharing in this post is a favorite of mine I will cherish forever. Rock on in Ruffles!<br />
Join me in following Rena Durham and her pursuit of Art.<br />

Being in a beautiful treasury means so much for an Etsy Shop. It's a pat on the back. A, I like what you are doing! I love to create a list of" I wants" and check back to see what has sold. I was surprised to find the last time I checked on an Etsy tool site of leading sales I found out the supplier for jewelry and scarp booking were the leaders of the pack..

Read and ask experts you come in contact with questions. Trial and error or practice makes perfect. More importantly,never give up. Try and try again and enjoy the outcome weather it's great or not at all what you expected!<br />
I ran across a watercolor series at my local library called Splash. The watercolor's in these books will blow you away. They look like oils in their rich color and expressive techniques. I want more time spent with watercolor to practice getting Splash Good!<br />

I did find out the special little lady loves the color yellow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There are many boutiques that use gorgeous new fabrics in their creating process and I admire their work. I have taken a different spin on fabric choices using vintage and reclaiming gently used material as much as possible seeking the right to claim a One of a Kind Creation. This dress featured can be recreated because of how much of these vintage fabrics I have left. The appliqués are hand drawn and and cut so getting an exact duplicate is not likely. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The dress features my signature TIES as the shoulder strap making for an adjustable fit. The bloomers have a cute gathered coordinating ruffle. The dress can be warn as a layer over a long or short sleeve tee shirt with or without the bloomers.</span>Big Birdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17958397509454648119noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731667585973845444.post-332264353896583972011-01-19T07:08:00.001-08:002011-01-19T07:08:48.392-08:00Yummy for Chocolate!

They are so visually interesting. I often sew leaving raw frayed seams adding interest to every project. I have a serger but only use it on select projects. Quilting raw seams down is much more fun! When i stopped striving for perfection in a project I began to sew with zeal liking how every creation turned out. Letting the fabric do what it wished to do. Fabric has a mind of its own much like watercolor. They are hard to control so stop trying. I did and am addicted to sewing creating and remaking.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH_egWidwP9HaUavq2g-t866k6oAH2e-c_rEgujswCUPmngf0arR-9CM7cltnlPEQEhV-X8E1VnJveQLJFo4rhduiEKYQ_XoLTkgjE0rH5w0wSEtzLJowuNtOaUj-4sh5_V5ryFAY3ng0/s1600/burlap+head+board%252C+chenille+jumpsuit+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH_egWidwP9HaUavq2g-t866k6oAH2e-c_rEgujswCUPmngf0arR-9CM7cltnlPEQEhV-X8E1VnJveQLJFo4rhduiEKYQ_XoLTkgjE0rH5w0wSEtzLJowuNtOaUj-4sh5_V5ryFAY3ng0/s320/burlap+head+board%252C+chenille+jumpsuit+008.JPG" width="212" /></a></div>Big Birdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17958397509454648119noreply@blogger.com0
