this week, i’m working on creating a backstock of some of my tried and true styles. that includes the strap back vests and boleros. i have piles of matched ties laying around taking up space while waiting to be sewn. when i’m done, i can then concentrate on some of the new ideas that are brewing in my head like, bustles, underbust vests, sweater dresses, fedoras, and top hats! whew! that’s a long list. i better get to work. here are some of the boleros i made from new ties that i got on my recent thrifting trip:

as always, you can email me to purchase one of these boleros or to place a custom order!

my favorite thing about online orders is packaging them like gifts. i know when i receive an order and it is packaged in some special way, i appreciate it so much more! for my latest order, i sewed together pages from an old, gently used coloring book from the 50′s (that i bought from SCRAP). i placed the order inside the pages and then sewed it shut like a neat little package! isn’t it adorable? and it’s a great way to recycle books that would have went straight to the landfill.
