Baby Dress

Lately I have been working on designing my own baby dresses. With my mom's help we finally came up with a beautiful baby dress!! To make the pattern we used an "old" baby dress that my grandmother (Lita Nona) made for me (33 years ago). We used a technique that my great-grandmother (Mercedes) used in her dresses (without the side seams)...

I absolutely love it!!

Well, I am also working on my etsy store, so I will keep you updated with that too.

Hope you all have a Happy Week!

Genesis...

Today I will share some of the projects that I have completed since I started this new journey...

The first christening gown I made was for my friend Lourdes' baby girl... Cecilia... and that was THE BEGINNING!! My mom helped me out with this one, since it was a BIG thing for me... What can I say, she's my mom and I think she's the best!! Well, after this one I made two more on my own :)

Then I started doing baby blankets in flannel... I wanted to find a fabric that was soft and cuddly... these are some of my pride and joy to show...

Well, then comes the packaging... I do fold them a certain way so the front and back can be seen when packaged... here are some of them packaged and ready for delivery...

So, this is it for now... I have to get back to work... Have a Happy Friday!!

Imagination Station

Here's a little glimpse at what has become 'My Imagination Station'. It 'used' to be our office (or at least that's what I'm hoping for in the near future)... it began with the sewing machine, then a serger, then a good/steady table (very essential)...

...its now full of fabrics (and hopefully many more to come)

...ribbons, threads, and all that good stuff that you end up needing when you least expect it!

I just love this little space! It's just amazing to have an area where you can be free to imagine and create!!

If sleep wasn't necessary, it would give me another 8 hours in a day!!! Oh, don't we all love to dream!!

Work in Progress & Burnt Rice

I have finally started working on my blog!! It has been interesting enough that it suddenly took away my ability to multi-task!! I tried cooking rice for dinner while I was working on this... Needless to say, I ended up with a pot of burnt rice!!
...and yes, the picture was my second batch!!

Well, it's been fun and challenging at the same time... Its a work in progress but I cant wait to dive into this!! Hope you're all having a great day!!
