Reconstructing Ashley

Shirt reconstruction for Ashley. All the finished items were once t-shirts. With the help of free printable patterns @ www.burdastyle.com I transformed her over sized tees to fun fashionable wears!

Roman Magic

Matching roman shades made for Cathy! Also made seat cover for small stool, it's removable with an elastic backing, and machine washable!!

















Just finished doing a bunch of pillows and curtains for TV show Trading Spaces on the TLC network. Very fun, pictures available upon request =)

Currently doing stuff for Jane (crib rail covers and redesigning her baby carrier), shirts for Redline99, more stuff for Cathy, something for Sava, and making more stuff for my etsy store . Went to downtown today (Fashion District of course) and bought 10 pounds of fabric for $20... gotta love the Michael Levine Loft store!!

Got some other deals in the works, just need to repost my Craig's List ad and close out some jobs!! Business is doing really well, despite some weirdo stalking me after I canceled an appointment with him. I declined the job cuz he was being neurotic before the job even started! I told him I wasn't comfortable working with him and that he seemed like a difficult person to work with, he proceeded to BEG me to meet him and to give him a second chance... then he shows up for our canceled appointment and demands to meet with me. Almost had to call the cops =(

More drama with a seamstress I recently hired, she screwed up an order and won't answer my calls. If you ever come across a seamstress named Toi, she is not to be trusted!! So now I have to re-do it on my own, argg. It's been the best worst week ever!!

Kiddies and babies

Reggie's daughter in the dress I made!! Pictures without the lovely lady model =) are in my last blog!



Made with <3 for baby, little crib organizer for little hands:





Currently working on crib sets, curtains, duvet, bed spread, shams, cushions. Testing out a new seamstress to help with workload, shes got her own loft in Downtown with 3 industrial machines and 7 ft. cutting table =) Woo. Things are coming together.. we're working on a partnership so that I can contract some of my bigger jobs out to her and still be able to make money while my turnaround goes down.

Sounds like refreshing.

Otherwise, finally found someone to do the clothing line with. Her name is Natalie. We got our partnership agreement notarized and official, currently working on DBA and started sketching for the line. Keep an eye out for .635. on a clothing rack near somewhere =)

More pictures of stuff coming soon!!
