Last night I took a shot doing something that i always feared. SHIRRING! (Sewing with elastic thread) It was totally stupid to be scared it was so fun! Here are some pictures of my shirring adventure making a little girls dress. These dresses are good when they are small and then when they get bigger the dress can be a little shirt! Dont be afraid to use elastic fabric! And i used ribbon to make the straps on the dress. I will be making alot more of these so if you have a request please let me know!!
I have been an artist my whole life. I have always loved sewing, collage, typography, embroidery and making things pretty. It led me going to college at Pratt Institute and and from there I worked every job imaginable till i found pre-press/graphic design where i am working currently. I hope to one day open up Brooklyn Craft the craft supply store in Brooklyn. A store that's like a craft fair every day. I love sailing and biking and this blog is all about what takes up most of my time, unless of course I am drinking at the bar.
Contact me! if you have any comments, questions or anything you'd like to share.
This is really one of your best designs yet!
