Open a window

This is how it begins.  You become so exhausted and you are craving creativity...So, you look at the mess in the sewing room and then it hits you..Inspiration. 

I have been able to come up with a new concept for a skirt tonight.  I don't know how, but I think when I am so tired, a window opens up in my head and it allows some ideas to flow through.  Good thing too! I think I get entirely too busy with the stuff that life is made of and I forget that I can create my own moments.  So, I thought I would share in this new concept.  It is far from finished and I have a lot more "cutting and pasting" to do.  So, until tomorrow...

Let your windows open! Sometimes you just get too tired to open the entire door.. :)

Summer feature

Happy Summer!!!

So, a lot has been going on at JclaireP! New vintage items, new skirts, craft shows, fairs...So, I thought I would feature some of my Summer skirts in this blog!   Fall is around the corner, when it comes to sewing, and I will start using some heavier fabrics.  But before that, I thought it would be fun to start the Summer off with some fun colors and lighter fabrics!

This is one of my favorite skirts this summer.  The pattern is so sweet with it's checked hearts and little blue bell flowers. Also, it is 100% cotton! It is nice and long and breathes when you walk.  To me, there is nothing better than feeling lite and airy in a skirt and this one definitely gives that feel.

Of course, what is Summer without a patchwork skirt?  What is special about this skirt is that all of the fabrics are vintage or they have been recycled from other linens.  These colors pop and let people know that you are ready for Summer and play!

This Spring and Summer I have worked on some very special custom skirts for clients.  These two skirts were custom order skirts specifically made for each customer!  They were able to tell me what they were looking for and what their color preferences were.  It is so fun and knowing that I am making something special for someone is what makes it so worthwhile!


Finally, what would Summer be without some mini skirts?  This season I have made some bright mini's and some subtle mini's.  The Pink mini is made from new rayon material and is very graceful and soft.  The navy mini is made from vintage floral fabric and has a navy blue corduroy accent in the center and back.  Both are easy and comfortable to wear!

  

 I hope you have enjoyed this little feature of some of the skirts available at JclaireP!  I am so looking forward to creating for the Fall and Winter and I am wishing you the best for the Summer season!  Enjoy the things that this Summer will bring!
