French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Tank-top "Art Nouveau Lady" - $48.00

Just love this print. Again, I used the stretchy black nylon lace and it really did work perfectly. I'm really enjoying working with these tops and changing them from t-shirts into something a little bit more dressy! Just posted this on Etsy. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Tattered-chic Tank-top - "Hummingbird" - SOLD

Well - I've really enjoyed making these tops. I guess it's because each one is "unique" in it's own way. None two are alike and they all kind of call attention to themselves in there own special way.  This one is "Hunningbird". And it has a lot of beautiful beading on it. The hummngbird is trimmed out in pale green beads. SOLD

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Tattered Chic Tank - $74.00

Tattered Chic!

 I really adore how this top turned out!
The fabric was a skirt I found last Summer. When I find a print I love I'm very thoughtful about what I want to do with it. I want to make sure it's upcycled into a garment that will really stand-out. So when I came across this petal pink chiffon rose applique - I knew right away that these two pieces of rescued items would be perfect for each other.The garment has just been posted on Etsy. Enjoy!

Petal Pink!

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Cream Jacket with Embellishments - $120.00

This little jacket is a perfect example of what can be done. I see this garment as a blank canvas - just waiting for the "goodies" to be added! It's a cream-colored corduroy with a contrasting taupe colored thread. So that's the color I went with for the embellishment. Originally the jacket had the normal collar but it had a detail of a scooped neck. So I just removed everything above the scooped neck. I was lucky to find a stretchy net top with two layers that had a black flower design on it in black thread. So I used that as the fabric for the jacket embellishment. Nice about stretchy netting - you don't have to hem it and it doesn't frey. The fabric on the two front pockets were actually the cap sleeves of the blouse I used. When things fall into place like that - I truly belive they were meant to be! The only part of the jacket that was sewn by machine was the neck area.  All else was done by hand - but nice, I got to watch a lot of TV! 

This garment is on it's way to "Altered Couture" magazine for the photoshoot for upcoming issues.  If you're interested, just let me know. However, it will take 2-3 weeks to have the garment returned and then shipped to you.  I'll be posting this on Etsy later this month.  Enjoy!
