Cinderella Costume Ballgown

A few weeks back, my boyfriend and I were thrifting around town. I found this formal blue dress, which I'm guessing was a former bridesmaid's dress.  It reminded me of Cinderella's ballgown. I tried it on and it fit perfectly, except for the length. All it needed was a few alterations to get 100% there. I purchased a few yards of sheer white fabric and attached some poofy sleeves for maximum princessness.  I added some more fabric just underneath the waist band and kept the bow and rhinestones visible. The tiara and "glass slippers" are accessories I like to keep on hand for any princess related activities I may need to attend.  I also live near a park that happens to have a pumpkin carriage. I thought it only right to include it in my photoshoot.  I wanted the picture to look like a storybook, but I'm not happy with the results. Next time I guess...

New babay babay.

I've been meaning to post these pictures I took at a recent photoshoot and am finally getting around to it!

How adorable are these? So very adorable!

Nautical Maxi Dress

Does it count if it's a wee bit shorter than your average maxi dress? Well I got this fabric at Briteks! I made this design myself and it's nautical because it has a rope belt accessory. Yes I will be emailing it to Briteks.

Matching children's dress and vest

I made these summer time clothes for 2 little cousins I know. I just thought it would be a fun idea to have matching outfits. :0)

Maternity Portraits

I took some maternity portraits a few weeks back. I've even finished editing them before the baby arrives.  This family owns a dairy and loves their western photos. The baby has an adorable nursery perfect for any cowboy.  We took some pictures in his room as well as outside by the barn and the grass. Looks like they're ready to become parents!

 Oh and of course we had to take one with the cat.

New Summer Dress

I know I've been gone awhile. My sewing machine was not cooperating for awhile but now it's back to normal so I'm back to sewing. I will be going to San Diego for vacation soon and so I have been inspired to sew some beach themed summer dresses...or at least things I would wear on the beach in summer.  I used a pattern for this dress and I actually bought it for the alternated version of the dress, but when I saw this fabric I knew I wanted to use it for this other dress instead. It actually has boning in the bodice which I wasn't counting on, at least for this version. So, it's not as comfortable as I thought it would be, therefore it will pry not make the San Diego trip after all.

I included my bike in the picture because 1. I love it. 2. I rode it to the location (not in the dress) and 3. notice the new basket! And thanks for the photography help Mikey.
