Lisa Frank Collection

The Lisa Frank Bag Collection is officially live!!  I am gonna walk you through each of these bag designs.  The first bag is the Unicorn Bomb Beauty Bag. This bag has a zipper closure and a flap with two lock closures. The flap has a clear zipper pocket and a elastic brush roll, and then on the bag there is a clear slip pocket as well. This is the inside of the bomb beauty bag, it is fully lined and has a zipper pocket. The circular bag below is the Cat Olive Bag. It has a slip pocket on the back and is fully lined. The bag above (and below) is the Turtle Hammock Bag, it has a handle for  easy carrying and a zipper closure, and is fully lined. These next two bags are probably my favorite- they are Convertible Bags,  they can be crossbody style or backpacks.  This is the Bear Convertible Bag. Both bags have a adjustable strap, a zipper closure,  fully lined with a slip pocket and two card slots. This is the Turtle Convertible Bag. Pictured below is the lining of both convertible bags. Y

Graduation Gown Turned Dress

Hey y’all! As some of you may know or remember I graduated back in May and I got to keep my gown along with my cap, since I’m homeschooled.  Now the next person in my family to graduate still has a couple years to go, and he will probably need a size or two up to accommodate for height so I turned my gown into a dress!  I got to work a week or so after I graduated and started sketching what I wanted to turn my gown into. Should I do separates? Should I do a dress? What style of dress?  Ultimately I decided upon this amazing dress, now I did have to adjust the skirt because my initial sketch had a long maxi style dress but I simply adore the shorter skirt.  And that back is stunning! The whole dress with the exception of the ribbon for the straps, came from the gown.  Had to take a couple pictures with my cap, so happy I had all my friends sign it!  Now this next picture has a bit of a story behind it:  So the day I took pics of my dress, I took my black belt pictures as well. While we

Olive Toiletry Bags

It also comes in two sizes, Small and Large. The only Small Olive I have in stock, ready to ship is the Military Child Olive you saw at the top of the blog.  The Bob Ross Olive is my sisters favorite since she is a huge Bob fan.

Stellar Dress

One of my favorite pattern designers and a dear friend, Kristi from  George + Ginger  asked if I’d help make this dress come to life so I happily obliged.  I will be honest, I was a little worried how much I’d love this dress but I fell in love!  It has shorts built into the dress- and useable pockets too, not the barely there ones and the length of the shorts is perfect!  Can we take a moment to appreciate the back of this dress too? The intricate strap detail adds a bit of interest to the dress and still has plenty of support in all the right places.   I, of course, had to add some Alyssa flair to the pictures. I used the paranoid flannel pattern from Kristi to create this look.  You can find the pattern at the  George + Ginger Website . You can also find me on my  Facebook Page ,  Instagram ,  Pinterest  and you can shop all premade- ready to ship clothing and accessories in my group-  FD CLOTHING AND SALES . See y’all later. Stay safe and healthy!                                   

Graduation

Hey y’all! Long time no see, I have had so much going on these past couple months, that I will work on sharing with you all. One event I want to highlight first is my high school graduation! Yay!  I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures and my self-drafted graduation dress!  A special thank you to Colonel Bredlow for officiating this ceremony!  It’s not a graduation without throwing you’re cap in the air right?! My friend, Luke, wasn’t sure what the point was, but was a good sport about the whole thing.  And here we have the Holy Grail, my graduation dress, made by me of course. I designed the dress and actually sewed it the beginning of senior year so it was one less thing to worry about as we got closer to actual graduation.    It has a silvery- glittery base and a lace overlay, on open back and is the perfect length! I have never been more proud of a dress I’ve made for myself.  Next up- turning my graduation gown into an actual gown because I can and let’s be honest I won’t

Plait Dress

Take a look at the newest pattern I tested for Kristi from  George and Ginger ! It’s a take on a wrap dress, without being a wrap dress lol! It has this gorgeous braided detail around the neck.   The back is pretty plain looking, but isn’t it stunning in this fabric combination?  The top pictures are with a cami for modesty purposes, the pattern does not have a modesty panel option built in but here is what the dress looks like without the camisole.  You can find more on my social medias like my  Instagram ,  Facebook page ,  Pinterest  and my  Facebook group- FD CLOTHING AND SALES !  And for all my sewing friends, you can purchase the pattern  here
