Six Scarves


Instead of five, I made six scarves for my grandma to give as Christmas gifts. They turned out pretty good. (If I say so myself).

On the 5th day of Christmas...

My true love gave to me, 5 Hand Crocheted Scarves!!!

I was asked to make five scarves for my grandma to give to as Christmas gifts. These are the yarn skeins she chose. I'll post pictures of the finished scarves soon.

Buttons for the Bluse


I use a quilters pencil to mark for button holes after I've sewn on buttons


Each stitch by hand; small, even custom button holes.

I use a seam ripper or a small pair of pointy scissors to cut the hole out.

Perfect fit!

I think these red daisy buttons are so cute!

Klied Construction



I started working on the dress for the German costume. Here's how it went.


Bodice front and lining front.

Buttons down the front with hand sewn button holes.

Button detail.

Completed dress and blouse.
