Summer Plans 2022

It's that time of the year when it gets pretty quiet 

around here - as most of the snowbirds have gone and

anyone who is left behind is spending their time at the beach

or hanging close under their air conditioning. 

It's all OK with me. I enjoy the summer months.

When my shop and Seashell Museum go to an 

"appointment only" schedule and we have a few months 

before we begin the next Mermaid's Market season in 

mid-October. (This will be our 11th Season!) 

  

NOTE:  If you ARE in Rocky Point this Summer 

and you want to shop for a unique gift 

or have visitors who want to visit the Seashell Museum, 

Remember I'll open the shop & the Seashell Museum by appointment. 

Make an appointment by either email: 

seadebris@gmail.com

mexiconaomi@gmail.com

 It's not that I won't stay busy with projects. Ha!

As many of you know, I have a "hoarder closet" STASH that 

can easily get me through these summer months. 

(A bit of Summer Advice that I adhere to...)

OK.. I promise not to get bored....

A Scrumptious Project for Spring 2022

Every once in awhile, I get asked to design something 

that really is special. 

Recently, I was asked to take a basic little dress 

and re-design it for a special event -
a wedding vow reaffirming ceremony.  

The dress as it looked.

Pinterest Inspiration 

* So, this dress is leather and very different fabrics

than I would be working with. However, the concept 

of the shirt's layers and asymmetry was the 

beginning of some inspiration. 

I had one piece of this lovely beaded detail which 
would perfectly pair with the beaded crown.

And, I was all set to start the re-designing!

Re-aligned the under-slip and added the 
♡ Lovely Detailing. ♡ 

Then I cut off the bottom tier of the skirt.
And, added length to the under-skirt. 

I realized that the middle tier seam was never going to look 

right. It was going to have to go! 

This meant removing the entire skirt to remake it. 

Much better!
Next step was adding the (curtain) sheer skirt fabric.
This was very assymetrical and would become
 a train at the back of the dress.

Now, for the fun part! 

The tiny hand-cut fabric flower buds - each one 
with bits of multi-color yarn strands. 

Some of the detail work could be sewn 
on by machine . . . 

 
. . . but much of it would be hand-sewn.

A few views of the skirt and train:

Introducing, my favorite Spring 2022 Project: 

This was a fantastic and fun project. 

From concept to finish, it was totally enjoyable. 

I describe this dress as "ethereal" - 

Delicately lovely with a fairy-land mystique. 

          Congratulations!
