Tie Bolero top

Here is a Bolero top I made a while ago and with some remenants that I picked up. It has a hugged neck line and ties at the front. I have extended the length to come to the waist and hopefully it reaches the ribs and above the smallest part of the waist drawing the eyes to the thin part of the torso.....

It is really easy to make as the shoulder piece is connected to the front & back pieces, therefore no shoulder seams, LOVE IT!

As these don't take up much material I will pick up remenant pieces and put them in my Etsy shop, but as I will pre-make them I can't make them to measure... :(

I will dig around in my material and see what I get time to whip up on the weekend!

Photo's of Talia

Hi all,
We had a friend take some photo's of Talia, our little girl. Jeannette is studying photography and needed to use a nude model, there is nothing cuter than a rudie nudie baby!!!
Here are some of the beautiful pics of Talia at 6mths old. There are too many to post!

I have sewn a heap of little girl tops lately, pics to come soon!
Hope everyone remembered the ANZAC's today.
Cheers, Lee-Anne

Versatile Dress/Skirt on ETSY

Hi all,

I have added the "Versatile Dress/Skirt" on ETSY today.

Lately I have been working on a "Maternity Line" and I have so many ideas, gosh it's so hard limiting it down to a few pieces! Please let me know if you had a favourite item you loved wearing when you were pregnant.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
Cheers Lee-Anne

Gathered V Top

Here is a top I have sewn and wore while I was pregnant. It has a low V neck and nice droopy sleeves, it gathers under the bust to allow for the ever expanding belly while pregnant. It is nice and comfortable and in a jersey fabric.

I dragged it out of the closet again as I am back at work and struggled to find any work clothes to wear. I just added a brown thick tie around under the bust to give the top some figure.




We had a good morning today and had the pleasure of Jeannette Baxter take some professional photo's of Talia, it was for her photography assignment. It got me thinking to have some of my clothes modelled and photographed, so now I have lots to do and I'm getting together some pieces to do a Maternity Line. Very exciting and my mind is going 100 miles a second (or would that be from the coffee....)!!
Or do I do a Baby line first? John had a great name for a Baby line, "Angel Baby" and I think it matches in well with "HeavenLee". If you know our family, it also fits in named after our precious cat(I know, I know, I know..... as my sister & dad have a huge sigh of disgrace). I love it! I betta get sewing before the coffee wears off!!!

Have a nice day everyone.
