KABLAMO!

You know...I've got a new appreciation for the diligence and dedication it takes to be an effective blogger. But in fairness, I warned y'all circa my very first post...technology is not my bag baby! We're working on it.
So Mother's Day just past, and my momma is my very favourite woman in the whole world...she is what it means to be a real lady!!! OFCOURSE I had to hook her up with something original...She will be rocking a beautiful aubergine fade out overprint maxi resort dress custom made just for her this summer. I guess the proper blogger thing to do would be to post?! Will do.
I've also been coming around to getting my second collection into production...
Now I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say we got maybe 4 weeks left until many of us will be beginning to slip into some sassy swimwear (I've been a complete gym rat in my personal quest to a bikini bod) so perhaps it is a good thing Miss non-technological over here has the wheels turning on getting the Ashley Boutcher collection available online.
Here's an article a fellow fashion guru sent my way for further debate. My two cents...if tan lines aren't a deal breaker, one pieces are hotter than ever!!! Votes?

My, my, kids. Where has the time gone?! Well let's fast track whats been keeping me so busy this past month! Got myself a coverseamer. mmmm hmmm. A coverseamer. That lil' magic piece of machinery (actually, its quite big being an industrial) that is essential to swimwear production. And what is it I do? Exactly! So I'm pumped. It's my baby Siruba. I also finally found a fully functioning antique Singer machine over 100 years old!!! I'm a sucker for these beautiful pieces of history. So I now have 6 sewing machines all for completely different functions and yet am planning a big move for June...oh lord help my chronic spontaneity. This will be quite the move! Also, my precious daschund Buns just turned three! Just look at that darling face!

Voila!

The 'Bright Night' charity event for the CNIB came and went, my friends! For details on the event, check the link below!

Here's the dress I've been blogging (trying to) away about! Fits model Chantal like a glove! Thanks for wearing it so well girl!

XOXOs for now...I'm presently glued to the Dr. Oz special on Progeria!

TIC, TACK, SEW!

The zipper is in, the hem is hemmed and we are just over a week to the big night! I hope the dress fits my model!

Its been a strange and welcome break away from my beloved knits and swimwear, and I have probably for the first time in my life, successfully and perfectly lined a garment...karma for being towards a good cause!

Beading still to follow... and then? New projects! I still have to master crochet!!! That'll be an adventure to follow!

Also, when iTunes gives you that little pop up "are you sure you want to purchase...?" read carefully. You may accidentally end up with some mash up versions of your fave songs. Just Sayin.

Much Love!

PAUSE.

Today fashion has lost a genius mind that is Alexander McQueen.

Always pushing boundaries and challenging the accepted and expected aesthetics of fashion; McQueen has always been such an inspiration to me during my years at Design School and now, in my budding career. He touched the world.

Sew far, Sew Good!

Yes friends; I have been a little caught up with the lean, mean stitchin' machine to blog my progress...needless to say; we are on our way to a complete dress! Fittings for the event are starting this week, and this ones gotta fit like a glove!

Remember, the name of the game is texture...and I'm feeling it! And with no further suspense, details are available on the charitable event at hand!

Get those tickets! This is a great cause!

So! Now that you're in the know, I've got a dress to tend to. 'Seams' I've got my work cut out for me!

Until next time blogger beauties; wish the Groundhog good luck!
