Ruffles galore

For those of you following me and trying to read my blog, you may remember this post. That time, I remembered to take pics of my ruffles, before cutting them to shapes, to make lateral inserts on my popular gaucho pants.



So, this time, I did it again. I take the shoot, before it was too late, as a few hours later they become this...part of the pants;)



Park slope fabric line is sure to be one of my favourite lines by Free spirit and I was so happy to made this little whimsy set for one of my loyal customers, who became a great friend as well and you can see her lovely DD, Poppy modelling in a few of my designs in the above mentioned post;)



This set is on its way to UK, to her and I hope she will love this one as well. This time, I accompanied it with reversible apron that I firstly designed for this set



It also made me remember that in that march/april period, just before Easter this year and before we went to Bari, for a family visit I had lots of those "Ruffles galore" orders and some of them were shipped from Italy. And one of these, that I have totally forgot to upload pics before and also share some lovely pics I received afterwords from a customer is this - Mother and daughter matching set.



Beautiful Hannah, mom to small Hazel, asked me to make the set for her as well as for her beautiful daughter and I was challenged for the first time to make the adult set as well, that will be as fancy as those for the little ones, featuring all those ruffles.



I'm sorry that I don't have the picture of Hannah wearing the pants as well, made with all those whimsy fabrics, but here are the pics before the sets were shipped away.







Here is the accessories set I made for Hazel.



With love, Katarina

Gauchos

I've just re listed the totally custom Gaucho set on eBay. I've received the compliments from one of my sweetest customer, buying it recently and she sent me some pics of her adorable daughter Abigail wearing it.






I've never shared before any of my customer cuties wearing my outfits, which is definitely the best part of this kind of a custom sewing work and sort of reward for all the commitment and effort to make every single detail just as beautiful as the entire set.

And when you receive the e-mails saying something like this one Just wanted to let you know that I received the dresses today. Their aren't words to explain how I was so excited about them. I love! love! love!!!!! them. They are well made and the straps on Ryleigh's dress was super cute! Very exceptional.. Please reserve my spot for easter dresses for 2009. I think you did an excellent Job. Thanks! thanks!thanks! for making it happend for me I am very pleased. I will send Pics once I get them back.
The happiness and satisfaction can't be described for knowing that somebody really love all your work :o).


Here are some more pics of one of my sweetest customer cuties, Poppy, whose mom is now a regular customer and a very good friend as well;)











At the moment, I'm finishing another cherry set, loaded with tons of ruffles, as well;).I also wanted to say thanks to all of you sending me your compliments for the pattern and asking me if there is a pattern available. Well, maybe I will find some time in the future to dedicate it to making a personal pattern for this type of whimsy pants;), requiring a lot of time for ruffling the fabrics....





I'm also preparing another of this sets for one of my best eBay friends and recent customers, Shawnta with whom I'm also preparing the eBay collaboration using the Summer in the city fabrics. Yummy!!!
