The Olivia Garden Dress

What started out as a totally different dress last nite was ripped out of the machine due to major malfunction.....

So out came some other fabric and The Olivia Garden Dress was created. This is a heavier cotton material for the cool spring evenings of the early mornings while you have your cuppa tea in the garden.

Pressy....from Nancy

Nancy at my work brought me a presant today to put in my sewing room to inspire me!! Got to love Nancy!

Little Red Party Dress

Here is the first dress I made in 2008 for Olivia's Christmas.

The Beginning

Ok, I really hate, like, to sew. I actually am starting to really enjoy it. I love to create and put together colors and fabric and just experiment.  My sewing room is almost finished and just waiting for the baseboards to be bought and put up. My son painted the room for me and my husband did the light........which now I realize is much too dark. Trial & Error on that one. 

As the owner of 3 pugs, Olivia, Elliott and Isabella I find that they don't like the cold, especially Olivia.  At all costs she will avoid anything that is not pleasant weather wise. She practically has to be dragged out in the cold for her bathroom trips.

When we first got Olivia we bought some sweet little hand knit sweaters and rain jackets but once she started growing we realized that her body just isn't an off the rack body! So I started sewing jackets for her.  She has a collection that is growing with her as she gravitates to a large football size.  Good thing for Velcro adjustment.

My goal is to sew unique one of a kind dog items that you can purchase.  Keep an eye out for items on here.
