For the annual Greyhounds Reach the Beach event, I always make a fun Greyhound look. Since this year is all about bows, I just had to design my own Greyhounds with bows print. I had the fabric printed. Then I sewed up the #hemlocktee (4th version o

This blouse has already had a bunch of wear so I had to ketchup and get it up on my grid. This is first time I made the #wavefloattop pattern and almost every time I wear it, I get compliments. The 🍅 print is just so much fun! I also purchased an o

Last vacation make is all about you guessed it, another matching set! I made this stripey two piece from 2 skirts purchased from Target. I bought one skirt in my size and one that was bigger. I took the one in my size and hemmed it adding a fun ruffl

Well it didn’t take long to make another pair of custom sandals. I am totally obsessed about making my own shoes now, can you tell? I was inspired by all the fun and colorful clogs that are all over right now and then @icanmake_shoes posted ab

I am super excited to share these made by me cuties that I just buckled up! :) I wanted cherry red fisherman sandals but I also wanted them to be comfy. So I decided to finally use my new skills learned from @rachelseessnailshoes (Thanks Rachel for y
