Skirts!

Hello, everyone!

Today we are showcasing some of the skirts we have made - some more complicated than others. Lets start off with....

The Patchwork Circle

Created by using over 200 patches of fabric, this skirt is beautiful and vibrant! A great project to do when confounded with what to do with all of your scrap fabric. Cool in the summer and a literal blanket in the winter, you can don this skirt all year long! They can easily be made at any length.



The Gathered Skirt

Made with "gathering strings" sewn directly into the under part of the skirt, you can tie it up in the front, all the way around, or any way you like! Accented in the back with a corset tie.





The Upcycled Skirt

The number of things that one can accomplish with some old T-shirts never ends. This is just one of the many T-Shirt related projects we've done (One was already posted here - Check out our T-Shirt Quilt from a while back!). Simple, and to the point. It's a Beatles A-line Skirt.




There are more clothes and accessories on the horizon, and I suspect a few dolls too!

Upcoming Events

- The Kentucky Renaissance Fair is hosting a STEAMPUNK WEEKEND! You know where to come for your accessory and costume needs, right??
- The Sky Pirate Ice Cream Social has been moved to July 1st. We will be there selling and trading our wares, and having ice cream, of course!

Cheers!!

Knitting and Concerts

Hello world!

CRAFTS----------


We come to you today to display yet another of our many talents. We like to consider ourselves a Jack of All Trades, so here we have a lovely feature on our knitting skillz! 


A great little bag that goes with any outfit!

The flowers are removeable, and can be
 used in your hair or on your dress!
These bags are made with cane handles and a very soft yarn. And YES, it will hold a lot more than you think! It's pack-rat tested!

We also enjoyed our Memorial Day weekend down at Louisville's Belvedere! Abbey Road on the River features some amazing musicians. Here are some pictures we captured! Click on the pictures to view the full gallery!
