RUFFLE BUSTLES and a Confessional.

I feel like you should say "ruffle bustle" with a mouthful of Peeps....is that just me?!?

 LOL New  "Chubby Bunny" challenge for us crafters....

I love bustles and ruffles and all fun things like that. 

Sadly, when you wear them in your day to day, you *might* get some odd looks. 

However....if you're feelin' a little fancy, and wanna put some sashay into your day...tie one of THESE babies on.... ba-BOOM.

Detailing the ruffles and lace and sequins!

Ruffle bustles have been on my maker's list for awhile now. But I always had other stuff to do. Now in my fancy new room, I can iron, pleat, sew, press & ruffle in the space of a few hours. (Okay, days but whatever).

I started messing around with fabric and lace I already had (hot pinks and fuschias.

Anyone surprised? No? Ahem.)

 and didn't realllllllly plan this, or use a pattern.

 Just going on instinct and what I thought.

After some extreme seam ripping and googling, I realized, I'm over complicating things. 

(GASP, ME?!)

CONFESSIONAL TIME::: Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to sewing. I can do it, nice & simply, but then....noOOoo. I have to get all fancy. Then the hilarity ensues. And by hilarity, I mean hours of frustration and seam ripping and trying to figure out why my serger hates me & won't tighten the lower looper thread.

But I digress.

Coming soon to my shop. Simple, flirty, fun additions to your costuming wardrobe...
