Marusya
easter dress blush pink silk lace

I loved cre­at­ing this cus­tom ordered East­er dress for Izzy!  The dress is made with pink lace and lined (& under­lined) with blush pink silk & cot­ton fabric. This dress looks pret­ti­er in per­son than in pho­tos. The pink is light with a peach col­or undertone.  I rarely wear pink, but I would def­i­nite­ly wear this pink col­or and dress style! Lined and under­lined with beau­ti­ful silk cot­ton fabric...

Unlike most peo­ple, I nev­er con­sid­ered the new year begin­ning Jan­u­ary 1st. Through my school years, my new year began in late August and I count­ed the years by my grade. Now I no longer count my years that way, but it’s still not the first of the year. Now my new year starts on Easter. Any­one who knows me well, knows how much I HATE Lent. Between the unpre­dictable...

Ukrainian Embroidered Linen dress crop top

Krys­tos Voskres! Hap­py Easter! I knew I want­ed to make this Bur­dastyle out­fit as soon as saw it in the month­ly Bur­dastyle mag­a­zine! How­ev­er it wasn’t until 2.5 weeks before East­er, that I received my linen in the mail and began embroi­der­ing the crop top/blouse. My won­der­ful moth­er came to my res­cue by embroi­der­ing the dark red skele­ton of the design. This part of the embroi­dery takes more time and...

girls floral spring coat

This chil­dren’s flo­ral jack­et was made for one of my First Holy Com­mu­nion cus­tomers.  (I’ll post pho­tos of her dress and veil lat­er this week!) I absolute­ly love how this jack­et turned out! I made a sim­i­lar jack­et for myself (see the jack­et here) last spring. At first I was wor­ried that the flo­ral print would be too large for a chil­dren’s jack­et, but I was wrong! I love this flo­ral print...

Charcoal Wool and navy leather 1 2011 126 Burdastyle sewing pattern winter coat

 Last Octo­ber, I made a navy cash­mere and leather coat for one of my dear­est friends. I would not call it a suc­cess. Since this first coat did not turn out as I had hoped, I sim­ply had to design a new ver­sion of the win­ter coat! The new coat was first going to be an orig­i­nal and mod­ern twist on a par­tic­u­lar vin­tage style. (I’m being vague in my descrip­tion because...
