New this week 2

It was my husband's request to make a set. He thought i should have more varieties in the store. so this is how his request turned out. its an outfit for work. so comfy!

New this week

This is actually another Tara variation, but I modified the back part - you know why? because I ran out of the fabric! but i like it a lot - i think this piece is perfect for clubbing! Check out my shop:)

i just dont think the pics do justice...its so hard to take pics of dark color. its made of amazing dark egg plant purple jersey. i love this color! i wanted to make kind of retro, mod dress, and here is how it turned out:)

tara tara tara

green one is available at my shop, black and blue ones are going to be shipped to Burdastyle this week!

ruffly scarf

happy new year everyone!
my husband and i run in different schedule - he gets up at 5am every morning, go for a run, prepare a break fast and wakes me up at 7am. he goes to bed at around 9 or 10. for me, i stay up a couple more hours after he goes to bed to sew. i stayed up till 11:30 to sew last night - one of the things i made was this scarf.
i did not knit, i just used the material, that's knit fabric. two rectangles on top of each other, and i finished with ruffled edge. my favorite part is this bow appliqué. i think it turned out so cute!
