A start for the markets!

What a busy week! I have cut out 50 "Floppy Ruffle Swimsuits", which includes 150 ruffles and boy am I glad all the cutting out is done! I have rolled hem approx 120 ruffles and surprisingly I'm enjoying it and can't wait to get back into the sewing room to finish them. Here is a sneak peak what I will have available at "Treasure Hunt Market Place" on 1st May at Craigie Leisure Centre. I have sizes 000-6 with 4 different fabric choices. I don't like how they fit on the dummy, but my model was asleep....

I'm really looking forward to my first market and hopefully I'll be checking off my "To Do" quicker than I thought... I have booked in a photo shoot, bought materials, ordered Clothing Tags, next is to find some nice Clothing Racks for display.

HotPants & Bikini Bathers!

I love this fabric and thought of this design straight away!!! I love it!!! Another pair of bathers for swimming lessons.
The fabric is black with fluro coloured peace signs on it. The style is Hotpants with a Halter neck top. The shorts have a gather with a bow tie at the sides and the top has it at the centre front.

Too funky!!!!
















I love sewing with lycra, just overlock and done! The fabric went great in the chlorinated hydrotherapy pool, but it was a very expensive fabric and I normally wouldn't spend that much on lycra, but it was too damn cute for 50cm.... A few adjustments to make and then they will be up for sale!

Christmas Catie Dress

Ever since Christmas I have wanted to put Talia's Christmas dress on her and get some photo's, I did it the other day and she has out-grown it...opps I guess "I missed the boat"... I used a red & white spotted coton with a red & white striped cotton for the bands and of course a fabric flower on the front and a matching headband!











.... .. Here are some pic's that I did get over christmas.... We had so many christmas parties to go to, but we only made it to 2 as we were all sick... Talia doesn't look impressed and Santa looks drunk in her official 2010 Christmas photo.. and our family photo is blurry... oh well.....
















I used the "Catie Dress" pattern from Little Lizard King. I love using your patterns LLK, they are so quick & easy, which every busy mum needs! Check out their new website & store here!

I bought this children's display dummy when my favourite fabric store closed down for$10... Not sure if I like it, but maybe painting it white might help....

Polka-dot bathers

Here are some bathers I made for Talia to wear for her first swimming lesson. I thought the material was chlorine resistant, but they turned yellow within 10mins of being in a Hydrotherapy pool!!! which is a pitty, as I love this white & polka-dot fabric!

I didn't take any photo's before they went in the pool, so the fabric is not white anymore... I definately won't be using this fabric to make bathers for swimming lessons, however the fabric went great in the ocean. A few adjustments to be tested before I sew some of these to sell....
















I do love this pattern and hopefully can find some fabric that will handle the chlorine...
















This is the Talia after mummy chasing her around the house trying to get some good photo's.... ENOUGH MUMMY!!!!

Facebook Page

I am finally getting with technology and I've created a "Facebook Page" for HeavenLee Creations. Yeah!!! and I'm trying to find an application to add a Shop on my facebook page. I would prefer to use this, than Etsy, as it targets the Perth mothers that would love some funky kids clothes.
I'll be putting some little girls skirts for sale on the Facebook page soon. If you would like to be the first to see or purchase them, "Like" the HeavenLee Creations facebook page. I will have various designs of sizes 00-5.
