A tiered dress for a little girl.

For my first project entry, I would like to offer this... My first child's garment! It used to be a adult size ten tiered skirt. I shaped it to the dress form, I then made the shoulder straps and flower. I added the applicae butterfly, sticking two iron on butterflies back to back, and sewing them only down the middle, for a 3d effect. There is also a single hair-clip created with another iron on applicae butterfly. The dress would fit a six year old, and I can imagine it would create quite a swirl when spun. Anyway what do you think?

Dawn




Have you ever had a moment of clarity?

Have you ever just woke one morning and felt the sun on your head?
I mean really felt the sun?
This year, I did.
You wouldn't believe how incredible it feels.


WELCOME!

I am Tui.

It's a new day, and the sun-this morning-feels great.

I would love to introduce myself. I am a artist, a poet, a seamstress and a dreamer.
I created this space to showcase my self designed wardrobe additions and art projects.
I may backlog older creations at times , but most of this work are up to date pieces.

I love the unusual and special and secret.
I try to reach new levels and create unexpected magic.
I enjoy the details.

I am delightfully individual, but owe much gratitude to some very special people in my life.
Without their help and continued support, I would not be where I am today.

Hashi? Jai? Caine? Thank you.


I also love to get ideas and creative criticism.
Please give me feedback as I thrive off it.

I am striving for at least 3 blog entries a week, so please hassle me if I am falling behind.



So The future is now. Here we go..off into the unknown.
Hope you join me. -Tui
