    "Penny Lane" Jacket Challenge

    This is my latest custom order request completed and “de-livert”!!!! I could not post without a full description of the meticulous work involved. Costume designer Betsy Heimann is the woman behind the original jacket "Penny Lane" (Kate Hudson) wore in the 2000 movie Almost Famous. According to one article, Heimann states that she made 3 coats. Not sure how identical the three of them were. Unfortunately, the whereabouts of two of them were unknown. From the online interest,

    Revision #4....I think?!?!

    The last revision process of color tests and formula confirmations. I didn’t intend for this project to become so intense and detailed but it seems to have mind of its own. Currently, we are at 90+ color variations (not all confirmed). Just when I thought I was done....Rit Dye ProLine gifts me with another dye color. I think Taupe is going to complete this product line. Or at least I hope so. #customdyeing #customdyed #RIT #ritdye #ritdyemore #ritproline #taosh #customdyedfab

    A Rose Gold Wedding

    Twelve exquisite bridesmaids! These lovely ladies were all quite stunning. Not to mention the beautiful bride! No, I did not make her dress. However, I created the lace sleeve top as an addition to her sweetheart cut style dress (along with the veil). The wedding dress sleeved top: Made from English netting and embroidered appliques to match the dress. Satin covered buttons and loops as the closure for the back. Veil: The waist length comb veil was adorned with embroidered tr

    RED WHITE and BLUE Twinkies

    My BCCDC Summer Program kids were fascinated by cool cake decorating. On one of the ever so inspiring YouTube videos, a cake decorator demonstrated how to create a marble color fondant for a cake. This sparked a great idea and we quickly ditched our original 4th of July art painting project. Let's make a marble 4th of July cake!!!! Ummm, I don't think so kiddos. Now, we do not bake cakes with the children so I had to improvise a little. So, I need something with no icing tha

    Route 1 Box 682

    Back roads, corn fields, levees, peacefulness......this is my hood! The photo is the view a little further down the lane from my parents house. Sometimes there was corn planted in the field, cotton or soybeans. But this is basically what I saw everyday I looked outside my bedroom window. I definitely did not appreciate this view when I was younger. Most people here would say, "Ain't nothing round here. You gotta get away from here so you can do good". Well, I did just that.

    On the levee in this heat.

    So, I am in love with these chiffon vests. I think I will have every color eventually, for my personal collection that is. However, this is how I spent some my day. Making vests and carrying a mannequin that is bigger than me up a levee to take pictures of said vests. My neighbors thought I was disposing of a body at first. LOL! I saw them peeking. Here are a few shots. Nothing fancy. The vests come in a number of colors and print options. Complete custom sizing and design op

    Diaper Cake

    OK, I have NEVER made a diaper cake in my life but because I am crafty people tend to think I can make anything. The instructions online made me feel quite dumb so I just winged it. I guess this is good for my first try. It isn't as easy as it looks. Try holding 25-35 diapers in a perfectly neat circle and tie them together. Plus, you have to make sure each diaper is uniform otherwise it just looks a like a mess of diapers. #youneed6arms I had to do it in layers so that the d

    Bridal Koozie

    If you are going to a #bridalbarcrawl you must have a white ensemble, kick-ass shoes and of course, a bridal kooozie. I would say that I didn't go to win but I was secretly gunning for a win of some sort. "MOST ORIGINAL".....very suiting for all areas of my life. The shoes are a actually a pair of black thigh-high boots that I refurbished. Aren't they everything?! The outfit was something I just threw together minutes before the event started.

    Perfect Skin-tone Matching Fabric for EVERYONE!!!

    I'm pretty sure somewhere someone makes flesh tone fabrics. But I just did not have time to hunt it down so I decided to brand my own. I toyed around with a few color samples but never really experimented with all the possible color combinations achievable, until today. Plus, I had to create a "recipe" for each color and it involved a inconvenient amount of math that my brain wasn't ready for. It is prom season and nude style dresses are very much in. The plan was to get ahea

    I don't know whether to call it a shelf or a counter but I built it. I did have some help from Mr. Joel. After it was all put together I thought I would make it functional. And now we have a chalkboard counter that we can write large messages on. And of course, something for tiny humans to slide their fingers across. The center needed a taller area to put things away from tiny out of control hands. Well, problem solved....kinda. Some of the parents now have to tippy toe to se

    Whelp, let's try not to do that again.

    This sewing love affair all started well before my first experience on a "real" sewing machine. I kept my eye on that old singer sewing machine. Sometimes I would sit on the stool and pretend to sew. .Since I was only 7 years old, I had only been allowed to touch the sewing machine with assistance. A typical rule for any child dealing with machinery I suppose. I had always had my own tiny little kid version of a sewing machine. It just didn't go fast enough for my liking. I n

    G for Gold....and Goodnight

    Besides putting cuffs in a couple of slacks, I managed to put a little shiny happiness on a project. I suppose it was a matter of time before I jumped on the reversible sequin bandwagon. And I didn't break a single sewing machine needle....imagine that. Still have plenty of work to do but it's getting late. Even seamstresses have to sleep!!! #taosh #taoshdesigns #taoshblog #reversiblesequins #latenightembellishments #taoshlateatnight #nitenitefortaosh

    Treasure Chest

    This is a throw back project! A friend/coworker asked me to make props for a dance recital. I think he just expected me to draw the image on poster board and paint it. Well, I made functional treasure chest that looked much more real than I expected it would. The bottom base was made with a wooden box. I used cardboard boxes to build up the height on the sides and the top was made with cardboard as well. For the wood look, I used acrylic paint (white, tan, yellow, brown, blac
