Welcome!






Hi!


Welcome to my New Blog!


I dabble in many of the Creative Arts! I love to sew and bead, so yu will find some of my Art Quilts and other sewing projects here. I also dress Miniature dolls (5 1/2 inch tall) and Fashion dolls, so they may pop up from time to time.


When not sewing, you can find me covered in glue and paint while I play with Mixed Media Collage and other Paper Arts. My husband and son gave me a Cricut for Christmas and I'm having a great time playing with it!


You will also find bits and pieces of my jewelry making. I do that at night when my leg give out and I am finally stuck in front of the TV!


My other Blog www.Thislittledollhouse.blogspot.com is devoted to my other hobby, all things miniature! That's where you will find my dollhouse and castle building adventures!


I hope you will enjoy following along as I travel through my creative world!


Please feel free to ask questions!

Delilah Noir and Missed Contest Entry!

Hi All!

Well, I tried, but I just couldn't do it! The Fletcher Pattern Contest that is!  I found out about the contest 4 days before the due date and jumped right on it, but.... try as I might, everything that could go wrong, did! LOL!!

I mean everything! I couldn't keep a needle in my hand to save my life! There are more needles on the floor in my workroom then the usual pins! I sewed sleeves on backwards and buttons on upside down! You name it, I screwed it up! I just don't do well under pressure any more!

For those of you who are new to following my Blogs, I have been disabled for the last 7 years after a short illness which robbed me of my cognitive skills and left me in a lot of pain. On a bad day, I can't read and understand simple directions. On a good day,my interpretation is a bit funny! Humor plays a large part of my daily life! But enough about that!

Here is the dress I made for the contest that didn't get entered in time!  The theme was Glamour Goth using a Designs by Jude or Fletcher Pattern Company Pattern.
Here is the Contest Link

I already had this pattern in Ellowyne's size, so some resizing was necessary to fit Delilah Noir.`I took a few liberties in redesigning the pattern! lol!
A few changes I made: floor length, closes in the back, separate skirt and top, top is a jacket, added a simple sleeveless top, omitted belt.

Here she is!
 Here she is in just her lace panties, stockings and bustier top.
The top is made of Silk Satin.

Here, I have added a Black, crushed velvet skirt.

The original top of the pattern has been modified into a jacket. The sleeve detail has remained the same. There are to skull buttons on either side of the jacket opening.  She is carrying a bouquet of black silk roses with interspersed crystals.

Outfit is completed by her hat. The hat is made of black silk and decorated with black silk flowers, beads and netting.


A few scenes with Delilah wearing her hat!

Well, there she is! What do you think?
I would really like to know!

  2. Hi, Heather! I'm new to the Fletcher group as of yesterday!

    WOW! I think your outfit for Delilah is fabulous! You really made good use of the pattern, too. I'm amazed at how quickly you made it after just hearing about the contest!!

    I love the hat and I hope you will add a photo of Delilah wearing it!

    Have you asked Tamara if you can still enter the contest? Might be worth the try!
