Custom Order–Striped Maxi Skirt

A friend of mine that I know from way back when, but kind of re-met earlier this year, asked me to make a maxi skirt for her. I have made them before, for myself, but not for anyone else. She wanted something fun, and told me to have fun looking for the fabric. Well, I did. I went down to Ottawa Street in Hamilton after school the other week and found this beautiful striped grey and turquoise knit fabric!!! I fell in love with it, and didn’t really want to give the skirt away when it was finished. ;) Jess loves it as much as I do (YAY!!!). That is always the best part about doing custom orders, the excitement of the girls who order them. :)

And knowing you all, you will probably want one too. ;) Simply send me your measurements and fabric preferences and we can go from there. There are oodles of options with these skirts, I can even add ruffles. Also, I can make one more with this fabric (as long as your measurements from hip to heal are not more than 40 inches).

So, without further ado….. here it is!!!

Custom Order–Change Table Sheets

A very very nice lady that I know is in charge of the cleaning at her church. The mattress for the changing table is an odd size, and she needed some new sheets for it. The sheets that she has now are also homemade, so that says that someone else couldn’t find fitting sheets for the mattress either. :)

I wasn’t actually going to post this, because…. well…. the sheets don’t really fit. :S I thought I would post them anyways, just to let you know that not everything I make is perfect!!!!! :) They look beautiful, especially with the adorable flannel prints and surged edges, but they are too short. I thought I made them the same size as the original sheets, but alas! I didn’t!!! Next time I am have to take measurements of the mattress first. :) Now I have to make another two sheets, and these will either be re-purposed into something else or given to someone who has a mattress that is a bit smaller.

And that being said, I can make custom-fitting sheets for you as well!!! lol. (you are probably doubting me greatly right now, but I am willing to give it a try again, if you will give me another chance).

Custom crib sheets, bassinet sheets, change table sheets and more!!!! Send me the exact dimensions and fabric preferences, and we can go from there!!!

So here, they are: very pretty, but exactly not fitting. :)

My siblings have dubbed this fabric the ‘Wonder Bread Monkey’ fabric.

 

Update–What is going on in May

For those of you who have visited the Etsy Shop recently, you might have noticed that we are on holidays for the month of May. That means that we won’t be posting anything new in the shop (after today), but everything in the shop is still for sale!!! :) I will still be taking custom orders, as long as you are willing to wait until June to have them completed.
The reason the shop is ‘on holidays’ is because I am working ridiculously long hours, 6 days a week, for the month of May. I am literally taking a break from everything but work and church. The job is pretty fun, and pays well, so it is totally worth it, but I will be glad to come back and start sewing again!!! (I don’t think I will stop completely, because I don’t think that will ever happen!!! :) But, it will be so slow that it isn’t worth having the shop open.)
I will still be posting Feature Friday posts (the beauty of scheduled posts), :) so feel free to keep visiting the blog and don’t forget to follow us on Facebook. I will hopefully still be posting stuff on there.
So… this is the last of my posting for a bit, and hope to see you again at the beginning of June!!! :)

And here is a glimpse of spring in Ontario to brighten your day!!!
