Andy found this rather ugly neck tie at the thrift store. Today I turned into a rather cute bowtie. This was actually my first time sewing with silk. It was rather slippery, but I think I figured it out. I’m excited to do a bit more of this type of work. What do you think?
I’m [...]
This is one of the most exciting orders that I’ve had: six green bow ties for a wedding in August. I just finished them up tonight and will make a few children’s bowties for them as well. The bride has already promised to share the photos with me and I cannot wait!
Oh where oh [...]
Today, I made this pocket square out of a lovely pinstripe linen fabric. I’ll be selling these in my up and coming etsy shop for $18. They are hand sewn and hand rolled and thus more tedious than you would imagine. Nonetheless, it looks quite sharp, doesn’t it?
I think I may have gone too far. But I couldn’t see all those little pieces of scrap fabric go to waste.
I won’t make too many of these, but if you want one, e-mail me at ellielaveer@gmail.com and we’ll talk about it.
This morning, I made this pink and red ribbon belt. I’m experimenting with different accessories to hopefully start an online shop soon. I thought this turned out pretty well. I love the colors, but I would like to get a sturdier set of D-Rings. And maybe a bit more feminine too. What are your thoughts? [...]
Yesterday, I had the wonderful pleasure of spending the afternoon with a very sweet six year old girl. The first thing we did together was make a purse. She completely designed this purse. Choosing the fabric, size, and decorating it with bows. She even had ideas of how she wanted the straps and the pockets [...]
OK, It seems that This Place has turned into a bit of a bowtie explosion, but I promise I will try to make and blog about other things- BUT I had to share the newest color. A very nice gentleman asked if I could do a Yellow/Green reversible and I just couldn’t say no. So [...]
My friends over at Clever Nesting have been making vintage pillowcase aprons following this tutorial from Glitter, Vinyl and Thread. It looked fun and I really need another apron, just ask my husband (HA HA HA).
I used a pillow case that I bought today at the thrift store for 50 cents. It’s really fun. [...]
I found some adorable fabric at Ashville Cotton Company yesterday. I didn’t even know what I was going to do with it, but today, I decided to use a little bit to make a ribbon belt for my 3 year old. Sorry, as all crafting happens while children are sleeping, I don’t have a picture [...]
