Where to buy Silk

I love having teachers who know where to buy fabric and other things at good prices and companies that have awesome customer service.

One such Company is "Exotic Silks" They have quite a few choices of silks at great prices and very good customer service :) To offer these great deals there is a minimum of 15yards per order, but it is worth the savings especially if you are going to do a group buy.

Here is the web site if you want to check them out - https://www.exoticsilks.com/

They are California based, and worth keeping their name on file :)

Titanic is being Rereleased in 3D



I just found out that Titanic is going to be rereleased in 3D this April and so a couple of friends and I are going to recreate costumes from the film...

and I get to do...

wait for it...

the Swim Dress ^_^

I found a a web page that goes into quite a lot of detail on how to actually make the dress right down to how to Ombre it.

I will be making a Corset for this dress as well, and lucky for me
"Bridges on the Body" is hosting a sew-a-long for an 1911 under-bust corset

Past Costumes


This costumes below are dresses that I made to feed my love on Most things D*sney ;)
Belle has always been my Favourite Princess and it was so much fun to finally wear a couple of her outfits. I hope eventually sew all her dresses from the movie.

The photographer for both of the shoots is a good friend of mine
Racheal Allen.

Blue Peasant Dress ^.^



The Gold BallGown
The Castle I used for the Photoshoot is Hatley Castle on Vancouver Island.


Cinderella's BallGown.
I made this for my niece for her 4th Birthday
Cinderella is her favourite Princess ^_-

This dress looks so much better when she is wearing it.
2 of my nieces, aren't they Adorable ^_^
(I didn't make the pumpkin costume but it really works with the story)
