A multitude of Flapper dresses

Would I make some Flapper dresses?

Well, of course, says I!

But there are going to be about 30 of them...

That's so not a problem!

The addition of fringing was discussed but we decided to add silver sparkle detailing to the dropped-waist, figure skimming dresses instead.




Like most of my costumes, velcro was added at the back for quick changes.




I made half in this style...




And the other half were made in green satin, with a slightly different silver trim and a bow on the hip.




The finished result...




One very happy dance school teacher!

Bronze and gold journal cover

You know how much I love using fabric with a soul!

I was asked if I could make a journal cover from a beloved piece of bronze two-tone fabric.  Sure, I said!  Well, the person who asked me was clutching it to her at the time so I had an inkling of how much she liked it :)

So I added some gold satin and this is how it turned out...


 
It fits the journal nicely!
 


The outside was created from both fabrics which just so happened to wrap the spine in an effortless hug!


 I do hope the recipient likes the two-tone effect cover!
