WOLF TRACKS Everyday
Hemp/Cotton Dress
Hey all...what I've got for you here is a SUPER comfy everyday dress made from Hemp/Cotton linen...the fabric supplier noted this as a linen weave, but it weighs more like a tencel to me?! Very summery fabric. This dress is full of subtle, yet complicated detailing. There are several applique pieces made from deep chocolate hemp/cotton linen I stitched with all my lovin' and utmost care. On the bodice of the dress, I appliqued the head of a howling wolf. (I designed this applique quite a few years ago and came across it recently...I was very excited about it...hehehe!) There are two front pockets, where I appliqued a wolf track on each one. There is a stash pocket stitched inside the neckline, too! At the base of the dress, I appliqued a Dakota tribal proverb, "We will be known forever, by the tracks we leave." It took forever and a day to draw, cut, and applique the letters alone...thought I would go crazy, no kiddin'! The dress measures 42 inches across the bodice, and fits a size medium/large. The length of the dress can be hemmed most any length to fit without losing the applique work. This will be the most comfy dress in the closet!
Hey all...what I've got for you here is a lovely mama dress full of spring magic. To make this dress, I used various soft colored cotton calicos in dusty sage, lavender, mustard, cream, and dusty blues. There are 9 different faery fabrics in addition to the other beautiful prints used in the patchwork! Each patch has been individually cut and placed to create a puzzle maze pattern...I spent tons of lovin' care cutting and placing each one! :c) For the bodice and front panel of the dress I patchworked a chevron pattern, using colors a bit stronger than those found in the puzzle patchwork. There are two front pockets, where I appliqued two spring faeries in flight, using the same fabrics found in the patchwork. I stitched up a stash pocket inside the bodice as well. I then finished off the bottom of the dress and trimmed the pockets with the lavender calico print. The bodice measures 41 inches completely opened and cinches down to 34 1/2 inches, making it fit someone 35 to 30 inches at the bust. The length of the dress meausres 49 1/2 inches from center bodice to bottom and can be hemmed to fit by trimming up the ruffled tier. The bottom tier spins out to 90 inches and is trimmed uptop with a subtle and lovely cotton crocheted lace!
Hey there! What I've got for you here is a hemp sundress fit for a goddess. (I have a matching pair of hemp bloomers posted as well). To make the dress, I used a light weight hemp linen, moss green corduroy, and chocolate corduroy. The main portion of the dress is constructed from the hemp linen. For the decorative filligree work on the bodice, I appliqued an intricate design that comes to a point at the neck. I repeated the applique work at the base of the dress and then trimmed the edges, so that the bottoms would be scalloped. I also cut away the diamond interesections, so you can see right through them! There are two slits at the sides, allowing easy movement. To reinforce the slits, I added matching applique filligrees. To separate the appliqued bottoms, I added another chocolate strip along the border. The dress ties come up through a wooden circle and batiked floral bead and tie behind the neck. The neckties are finished off with wooden batik beads as well.
The dress measures 36 inches from center bodice top to bottom scalloped edge. The dress is closed at the back so it can be worn with or without something underneath. The elastic back of the bodice will allow a fit of 32-36 at the bust.
Hey all...what I've got for you here is a SUPER comfy and cute calf-length dress I made from several calicos that remind me of sherbert and ice cream flavors...hehehe! Ice cream just sounds so good for the hot weather! I then patched up the pieces to amke hundreds of tiny triangular patches. There is a simple center panel at the front made from a sweet summery calico. The dress has two criss-cross straps and buttons at the back with four tiny steel buttons with flowers. There are two huge side pockets sewn into the sides with a sweet subtle ruffle top. Speaking of ruffles,I stitched up a huge billowing ruffle at the bottom of the dress that twirls out to a HUGE 180 inches, can you belive it!? The ruffle fabric repeats itself in the straps and upper bodice piece. The dress measures 36 1/2 inches above the bust, where it sits, and fits a size medium/large. The length of the dress from midbodice to hem is 43 inches. It would look SUPER cute paired up with some bloomers, your most comfy pair of pants or a simple petticoat...I will be posting a patty coat tomorrow as well!
Heya mama...this pretty lil' thing is perfect for everyday. It was inspired by my trip to the Anasazi Ruins this month. To make the dress, I used an organic cotton homespun weave...this is the last of this fabric in my stash because I love it so much...hehehe! The dress is perfectly comfortable and sure to become a daily favorite. The jumper pocket and side pockets are complimented with an all cotton crocheted lace inlay. There is also inlay lace above the bottom ruffle, which I constructed from a recycled slightly heavier weight cotton homespun fabric. The dress has two criss-cross straps made from the same cotton crocheted lace, and they button at the front of the jumper with carved wooden buttons. The ruffle at the bottom of the dress twirls out to a comfy 112 inches. After construction, I dyed the dress sandstorm, an Earthy tan with a slight peachy-auburn glow. The dress measures 38 inches around the bust, best fitting someone 34 to 37 inches. The length of the dress from midbodice to hem is 52 inches, fitting someone 5'6" or taller. It can be altered to fit someone shorter if need be.

Patchwork 'n' Lace
Gurley Dress
Hey all...what I've got for you here is a lovely mama dress full of sweet gurley goodness! I'm very excited to be posting this one!
To make this dress, I used an off-white lightweight cotton corduroy, off-white eyelet, and soft lavender calico. I used the calico and eyelet fabric to make several seminole panels, while adding lace inlay between the panels and patchwork. I then patchworked strips for the pockets and bodice, using the same inlay technique...including lace inlay between every patch. Lot's of lovin' in this one! :c)
The bodice is completely lined and has a stash pocket inside. The bodice is adjustable between 33-42 inches, making a good fit for someone 31-40 at the bust. The length of the dress measures 45 1/2 inches from center bodice to bottom. To finish off the dress, I added a bottom tier that spins out to 112 inches!
Here is a super comfy dashiki/caftan dress for you mama, made with a yummy homespun organic cotton dyed hempseed, along with a taupe cotton duck for the accent fabric.
I hand-designed the detailed leaf mandala applique for the front yoke of the dress you see there. :c) I used cotton linen, deep olive corduroy, army green corduroy, and organic cotton duck for the applique pieces. I then repeated the leaf applique work on the back yoke, the sleeve cuffs, and on a vine at the bottom of the dress. I stitched in strips of the olive corduroy down the front and back of the dress for a bit more flavor! I then added two front pockets on the dress to carry your belongings. The dress is made to fit most anyone. It measures 27 inches across the bust and adjusts at the sides with linen ties. I added green batik wooden beads on the ties, too!! The mannequin is 31 1/2 - 32 inches at the bust. The length of the dress from shoulder top to bottom hem is 53 inches. I can shorten it some for you, without loosing any of the applique work.
The bottom spins out to a comfy and simple 68 inches.
What I've got for you mamas here is a SUPER comfy everyday dress made from lilac hemp/cotton linen, deep lavender cotton linen, and chocolate hemp/cotton linen for the trimmin's. This dress is full of subtle, yet complicated detailing. It's perfect for everyday, all throughout the year! Wear it with or without a blouse underneath!
For the front of the dress, I hand-designed a lotus mandala, which I appliqued using hemp, hemp/cotton blends, and organic cotton duck fabrics. The center lotus flower is repeated on the back bottom of the dress to, what I liked to think, some-what "pull it all together." Hehehe!
There are two side front pockets, which I trimmed up with chocolate hemp ruffles. The neckline, sleeve openings, and bottom of the dress are all trimmed with the chocolate hemp/cotton linen, too! I used mathcing chocolate piping down the sides of the lavender linen strips to add a polished sporty look.
The dress measures 42 inches across the bodice, and fits a size medium/large. I'd say it would best fit someone 34-37 at the bust most comfortably...especially if you would like to wear a blouse underneath sometimes. The length of the dress has a fixed hem already. I am 5'9" and the dress hits me below mid-calf. The length measures 52 inches from shoulder-top to bottom, and the circumference of the bottom is 66 inches. This one is not a spinner, but it will be one of the most comfy dresses in your closet!
What I've got for you mamas here is a SUPER comfy everyday dress made from a cotton calico oatmeal duck cloth, organic cotton muslin canvas, and earthy green cotton linen for the front yoke. Wear it with or without a blouse underneath!
On the front yoke of the dress, I peyote stitched a large 30 x 40 mm palmwood cabochon!
There are two side pockets, along the side-seams to hold all your goods. To add a bit more detail, I added a Chevron stripe along the botton of the dress, using a pretty deep earthy moss green dyed calico print. In between the stripes, I added a layer of cotton crochet peek-a-boo lace!
The dress measures 42 inches across the bodice, fitting M/L...34-37 bust. The length of the dress is awaiting your hemming specs. The length measures 60 inches from shoulder-top to bottom, with a little adjustment at the shoulder ties. It can be shortened up to 10 inches. The dress is cut a-frame, giving the bottom circumference a nice 100 inch spin...wheeeeee!!! This one is comfy AND a spinner!
What I've got for you here is a cute little apron dress I made by randomly patching an array of fabrics, both vintage and new...a cream linen with butterflies and flowers, a chocolate denim, and paisley, a couple of calicos with butterlflies and flowers, a deep green paisley, organic cotton spruce, chocolate linen and rust linen!
To make the bodice, I used the rust linen, along with some spruce organic cotton and cream twill. Using these fabrics, I appliqued a band of flowers and vines and trimmed the band with spruce piping. The bodice is 34 inches from loop to loop and can be opened to 40 inches. I'd say it would best fit someone 32-38 at the bust. The dress is closed at the back for you shy lil' violets, and it adjusts with ties for a more precise fit. The bodice is also fully lined and has a stashy pocket inside.
I added two side pockets to the skirt of the dress, where I repeated the flower appliqued band and piping detail. I also added inlayed cotton crochet trim to mimmick the cream band across the bodice and pockets in the bottom ruffled tier. I then decided to add another little flower in the patchwork, just for fun...heehee!
The length of the center neckline to hem is 48 inches, and the bottom ruffle bells out to 88 inches. I can shorten the dress a couple of inches if needed without losing the crochet trim.
Hey there pretty mamas! To celebrate the soon-to-be birthing of our new babe, I am offering a ONE TIME CUSTOM ORDER for a tiered sundress like the one pictured. I will make it ANY SIZE & ANY COLOR SCHEME, along with a simple applique detailing. I rarely have the chance to fill custom orders these days, but will you celebrate with me?
The bodice yoke sits above the boosom, so measurenments should be taken from there instead of the actual bust line. The dress is closed at the back for you shy lil' violets, and it adjusts at the shoulders with ties.
I will add two side pockets, where I can repeat the applique detailing if you'd like. The pockets can be cinch pockets with hemp ties or they can be boxed-rectangle pockets...whichever you prefer. I will detail the pocket drawstrings with wooden beads and cowrie shells for a more personal touch, too, if you wish. The bottom of your dress can be trimmed with lace, too, or left plain for you! This sundress style is a spinner, made especially for the boogie mamas!
What I've got for you here is a super comfy and practical overalls dress...perfect for school and those chilly layering days to come! I used a pair of recycled cocoa corduroy overalls and created a random patchwork panel for the front and back by using some sugary scraps from my bin. There are some paisley corduroys, calicos, recycled fabrics from old vintange clothing, cocoa twill, and more!
The overalls have been used and abused some, so I did some patchworking to cover ups a few paint spots and holes from past use. I used a decorative stitch to topstitch all patches, including those you find in the front and back panels, using a mauve thread. The flower appliques are stitched using the same decorative stitching I used on the rest of the patches. The flower on the bum pocket does not affect the pocket use, as I stitched part of the flower on the pocket while it was removed and then the rest of the flower was stitched in place after reapplying the pocket back onto the bum.
For the bottom ruffle, I used a couple of the fabrics that were used in the patchwork. I also added a strip of cotton crocheted lace that I inlayed into the ruffle.
The tags on the overalls read, "Size Medium." The waist measures 39 inches round, the hips measure 44 inches round, and the length is a bit adjustable at the shoulder straps, They would best fit someone 5'5" or taller without alteration, but I can remove another inch or two of the ruffle for a more petite mama.
Here's a soft and comfy little sundress foryou butterfly lovers!
For this dress, I used two all cotton gauze fabrics...a deep lavender gauze for the main portion, which is completely lined, and a hand-dyed fabric with a golden thread weave. On the front of the dress, I appliqued a shimmering butterfly with the hand dyed gauze, chocolate linen, and teal hemp linen. The halter has elastic at the back, so it should fit someone 32-38 at the boosom. The dress is cut a-frame, making the natural waist about 44 inches, and the hips about 50 inches. The length of the dress, from mid-bodice to hem is 49 inches, but I made the tiers rather large, so that I can shorten some if need be. :c)
I added two rounded side pockets, where you can keep your necessities close by. There are two bottom tiers, with hand-dyed crochet lace inlay between the tiers, and the bottom tier spins out to a whoppin' 92 inches! This one's a spinner, mamas!

Tiered Organic Cotton Prairie Dress
Oo0oo0o0o0o0ohhh...this dress will make you feel a fall faery goddess, all the while keeping you cozy and comfy all day long!
To make the garment, I used two different embroidered cotton gauzes for the lined bodice and bottom tier...the bodice fabric is embroidered with leaves and vines, and the bottom tier fabric is embroidered with little puff flowers, vines, and leaves. For the main portion of the dress, I used an organic cotton textured gauze. This fabric is a little heavier than the others. I trimmed up the tiers and bodice with crocheted cotton eyelet lace, and I inlayed the crocheted lace in the sleeve cuffs to make them a little more flirty! I then dyed the dress black orchid. (Please keep in mind that this garment is hand-dyed; therefore there may be variation in color and pattern within the garment.
