Rainbow Brite Patchwork Dress

I’m a child of the 80′s which means I loved Rainbow Brite.  When I saw this Rainbow Brite pillow case at the thrift store I grabbed it as quick as I could and exclaimed “Score!” just a little too loudly:)  So after some debating on what to do with it this super fun dress came to mind.

Sewing it was so much fun.  How can you not smile while sewing with such fun bright colors?  The dress has a shirred back like the one I made for my friend Jamie’s birthday .  This means you can wear a bra underneath of it ladies.  Nice, huh?

Would you like this super fun dress for your very own?  I have it for sale in my Etsy shop.  I think it would be just perfect for festivals and Halloween.  A great way to stand out in a crowd.

Fairy Applique Skirt

My husband designed this super cool applique about 5 months ago.  I’m not sure why it took so long to make this skirt.  Possibly because I had other things on my sewing to do list.  Maybe because I was a little intimidated by all the small details in the applique.  Or most likely plain old procrastination:)  I’m glad I finally finished it though.  I had fun picking out the fabrics for the different pieces of the fairy.  Sewing it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.  It was pretty time consuming though.

I really really like how this one turned out and I know I’ll make one for myself in the future.  You can get this one at my Etsy store Weeza Wear.

By the way, if you have any great applique ideas let me know.  I love trying new things.

Making of Domo Kun

It all starts with a sketch.  I’m no artist so this part takes forever.

Now its time to draw the individual pieces on fusible webbing, stick on fabric, and cut them out.  Then the pieces are ironed on to the skirt to form Domo Kun.

Next I have to do a tight satin stitch around all the pieces.  This gives a nice border and secures the applique to the fabric.

And here’s the completed skirt.  I just love how he peeks from the bottom of the skirt.  Props to the hubby for such a unique applique idea.  This skirt is available in my Etsy Shop.
