Opening a shop on Aloha Vintage

Aloha!

Through the generous praise and encouragement of my friends I’ve decided to open a shopping cart on Aloha Vintage.

The products I’ll be selling will be my handmade clothing from vintage patterns, tropical hair flower hair clips for starters, then I’ll see what else happens.

For now the shopping cart is under construction (and so are many of it’s products) with an expected launch of middle September. In the meantime custom item requests are welcome just contact me and let me know what your looking for.

Mahalo!

Too many projects

I just have too many projects going on right now and all the new fabric and patterns I ‘ve been finding lately aren’t helping me!  I just can’t resist!

I’m working on a stack of new patterns for the Ohana in September, and really I know that I’m planning on making way more than I could possible wear in the 3 day event. but I know what a great backdrop the whole even will be for the clothes and I’m really hoping to take advantage of that.

I’ve got at least 5 new completed projects to share, as well as 5 more “coming soon” projects to show. I’m also working feverishly on my new line of tropical hair clips and trying to get those listed – so far they’re coming along nicely and everyone I’ve given them to say they’re in love with them. I can’t wait to show you! expect the first of many regular updates on monday night!

Mahalo!

Luau at the lake

Anyone who knows me will tell you I love a party, and anyone who really knows me knows that I go all out for a luau!

well I stumbled over the the event of the year! Luau at the lake!

when it comes to Tiki events and my luck, the even is either too far away from me to get to or it’s already happened. but not this time and let me just say i didn’t waste much time in getting my tickets.

but now that there is a luau in my future, my prioritues have shifted a bit in the sewing room.

I’ve added a swimsuit and a sarong to the list, and switched up the sewing order a bit so I can get everything done before the luau. I’ll post the pics of the patterns and their fabrics tonight and since this will be my first swimsuit it’ll pose some special challenges.

Mahalo!
