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 ...

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

Continue to tell your friends and follow along because this is just the beginning! Here’s to the past five years and to many more! 🥂 Now to celebrate five years in business, I have a sale going on in my group,  FD CLOTHING AND SALES . Everything is 20% off until Feb.15th of 2023.  Here is some of my personal favorites of my inventory but I have a lot more available in the group so make sure you check it out!  This bear is currently available in the 12” doll bear album in the group, along with other fandoms and fabrics!  I don’t know about anyone else, but when I was little I always had to wear shorts under my dresses (just in case) and the shorts didn’t always match.  Now stay stylish with a skirt from the monkey bar skirt collection, in various fabrics and sizes!  ...

Heidi Fold Over Clutch

I’m trying to get more blog posts and I figured why not start sharing some more inventory I have made recently!  These are the Heidi Fold- Over Clutch, I have two different sizes: Large (11” wide x 8” tall) and Small (9” wide x 6.5” tall).  Some have a detachable wrist strap, so you have an option to use or take off!  Most also have a hidden zippered back pocket, along with the main zippered clutch part!  I have many for fandoms, characters, bands, etc! These are just a few, I have these and many more available in my inventory group.  This Mental Health one is probably one of my favorites, the lining has words of affirmation and I just think it shared such a positive message.  You can find all of these in my group,  FD CLOTHING AND SALES .  You can also find me on  Facebook ,  Instagram  and  Pinterest ! See you there, and I hope you have a marvelous day!   

Verve Vest

  I had the pleasure of testing a vest pattern a couple months ago, however I may have forgotten to write a blog post. Oops! So here is the Verve Vest!  This is one of my favorite pictures from the little photoshoot we did for the vest pattern.  I did a cropped, V-neck, with normal armcycles. There is an option in the pattern for pockets, full length, turtlenecks and a deep armcycle.  I saw a couple people call this is “tik- tok” styling for vests, I’m not on tik- tok however I do know that it’s a very popular style right now. I, of course, had to add a faux leather skirt and my high top Vans- to make it a bit more me haha.  If you want to buy the pattern, it’s called the Verve Vest from  George and Ginger . There’s so many options and I have a couple more I definitely wanna do!  If you wanna see more from me, you can follow me on Instagram ,  Facebook , and  Pinterest ! And if you weren’t aware, I’m selling all my inventory in my group-...

German Strangers Con

Back in July, I posted about going to German Comic Con and wearing my self made Eddie Munson Jacket, and going specifically for Joseph Quinn and to meet him. Unfortunately he had to cancel back in July, but the same people did a Strangers Con, which is a con specifically made for Stranger Things fans and Joseph was going to be there.  My dad got tickets and I didn’t know he had until they announced Joseph was going to be at Strangers Con, which incidentally was also near my birthday. So going and meeting Joseph was my birthday and Christmas gift, and it was so worth it. Now onto the pictures, cause I’m sure your tired of me rambling.  There was an opening ceremony where we welcomed them to the venue, that’s where these pictures came from. There was several other amazing actors there as well.    Got to meet some other really good Eddie Cosplayers at this Con too!    Getting ready to have him sign my Jacket and mini guitar he plays in the show!! So excited!! ...

Italy Trip

Hey y’all! Sorry for not posting a whole lot. Recently I took a  trip to Italy and went on a social media break, which was  extremely nice. However I’m back and going to try to start posting more blogs (hopefully 🤞)  This is was in Milan, it’s the Iconic Duomo Cathedral. It is stunning, especially at night.  This picture was taken on my birthday. I walked around the Milan Fashion District and was able to go into Moschino and Chanel! This was a huge day for me, I bought the Moschino perfume with my money, however me and my dad (thank you Dad) went halfsies on the Chanel sunglasses I liked!   Venice was beautiful, I actually went on a Gondola ride however, I wasn’t a huge fan personally but it was very very pretty.  Adriatic Sea, the sand was so fine and the water was a little cold but I can say I stood in the Adriatic Sea.  I got to see The David Statue, it was huge! There were so many people trying to get a good picture of it.  Leaning tower of P...
