Just finished an adorable ruffled top. It’s that fantastic tattoo flash fabric that I bought about 100 yards of several years ago. It’s gone now, sad sad sad. Funny though, most of the projects I made out of this never worked out quite right. Not that there weren’t plenty of chances, I purchased this fabric with the pink background (pictured), the tan AND the black background.

It’s also too bad that my new(ish) dressform is too large. Know anyone who wants to buy or trade for the right size?

You see folks, what we have here is an apron for a 3 year old girl who is named Stella. It is made of embroidered vintage towelling and contemporary tattoo and day of the dead fabrics.

I looked into my 3 year old heart to see what it desires most, and this was there among the swingsets and monkey bars.

Garter Belt

Yes, I am aware of how incredibly awesome this garter belt is. It is totally reversible, one side is the badass tattoo flash print fabric, the other side is a supersweet day of the dead sugar skull fabric.

It laces up the back, and is quite possibly the coolest thing I’ve ever made. Maybe. My memory is only slightly untrustworthy on these things. Anyway, I love it. My plan is to make many more and make sure the world is a sexier place while I’m in it.

This vintage inspired peplum blouse is sexy and demure at the same time! The fabric is covered in tattoo flash and it’s a very flattering fit. It’s features short sleeves, and it’s pleated at the waist and shoulders for the perfect fit.

Measurements are: bust 38″, waist 30-32″, and it is 17″ from the back of the neck to the waist.

This is a very interesting fabric and it really works well in this retro style blouse. The fabric is 100% cotton and it has a hidden side zipper.

This handmade top is the cutest! The fabric is covered in tattoo flash and it’s a very flattering fit. It’s got short, puffed sleeves and it’s cut to show off just the right curves.

Measurements are: bust 38″, waist 30″, and it is 17″ from the back of the neck to the waist.

This is a very unique fabric and it really works with this style of blouse. The fabric is 100% cotton and the buttons are made of the same fabric as the blouse.

Got a matching skull and crossbones tattoo! For those of you who know me, you’ll remember that I’ve got the matching fella on the other arm, covered in some Japanese water etc. Whee! Also got some work done on my back and more to come on Friday!!

Also done today: bowling AND pool! Weird. Sorry, the picture above is kind of too up close and looks gross but really this is just the cutest thing ever!!
