Epic Harry Potter themed Ugly Sweater Bliss





Retro Stitch sent me this amazing panel to create something for the current round they have open (closes on the 15th) How I sew strikes is while its on its way to me I come up with a plan to 3 and then it gets here and I come up with another plan, and then while its washing another plan and by the time its dried I typically have settled on what it will become. 🤣


 With each round I strike for I try to grow and come up with new ideas, new things to try, and push myself a little bit further. Work on my skill set with my sewing, pattern design, photography style. Always growing! I don't ever want some one to look at me and think 'oh that kid, so its gonna be a basic tee or simple dress.' I want people to see a little bit of my style and personality in everything I make. With strikes often this is the showcase for the fabric, its moment to shine and turn peoples heads to get them to purchase. I want my pieces to make people stop scrolling. 


 With that scroll stopping in mind I decided to channel my inner Molly Weasley and Luna Lovegood and come up with a look I will really enjoy rocking this Christmas. I thought about some of my favorite Harry Potter movie Christmas moments, I feel like Ron is a bit underrated honestly. He has some great lines and moments, his mom made sweater, scarf and dress robes were a bit of the inspiration for the 'ugly sweater' concept. I think Molly would be happy. 


 As much as I love Ron, I feel I am a bit more like Luna  so I used her style as inspiration as well. With those influences I give you this amazing my Mix it Up peplum top. I modified the bodice to work with the ruffles that were a nod to Ron's dress robes. I took the peplum and divided it to make a repeating pattern of different fabrics that were the house colors. 
So what do you think?

Pride Keychains (Coming Soon)

  Let’s talk Pride Keychains! As someone who is apart of the community, these keychains bring me an immense amount of joy. I am going to be showing several pictures of the keychain set I made for myself as samples.  These are a few variations of the three keychain designs, I made for myself and as samples. Now I am going to show you a picture of each design. My plan is to make a couple of each design for the website with white vinyl and black vinyl.  The flower is pretty cute, and I love the LGBTQIA+ design!  Now, the “LOVE” design below is the Pansexual flag, because I am Pan and I made these as samples. With that being said, I will have a couple different options up on the website (I’ll get into those in a second). And if you would like a Pride Love design but I haven’t made it yet for the website, then you are free to message me with the special request.  The options I will have available on the website will be a one color design, Agender, Asexual, Bisexual, ...

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.
