French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Romantic Floral Print and Cotton Lace Dress - $110.00

I really enjoyed creating this garment. And it's the last of this lovely floral print. I just adore this print and wish I had yards and yards of it. But long skirts only have so much yardage and I wanted to make the most of it. Creating three garments was great but this garment really made my day!  I just posted it on Etsy! Enjoy!

Just finished posting these new tank-tops on Etsy!

I've been so busy just haven't had the time to post them here. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Top - $48.00

I love this top but I wanted to make it look different and have a difference feel to it. So I changed the shape of the bottom with a circle cut and then added a beautiful long, crinkled shear nylon flounce to it. It was the perfect color and it really made the whole top stand out. Just posted on Etsy. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Tank-Top - $48.00

Primrose Top

I love the soft and lovely colors of this tank so it was so very easy to see how this would end up as this beutiful garment. Once a t-shirt - now a tank with soft taupe colored cotton lace at the bottom. I took the left-over fabric and cut one-inch strips, ruffled them and put them on the shoulder-straps. Lovely! You can find this adorable top at my Etsy shop. Enjoy!

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!

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Tank-top "Paris" - $48.00 SOLD



"Paris"



Another one of my beautiful upcycled tank tops! This one is called "Paris"!  I really love the color combinations of the tank with the beautiful ecru cotton lace. Just stunning! I've just posted this garment at my Etsy shop. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Tank-top "Chardonnay" - $48.00

"Chardonnay"

I have so many of these adorable shirts that I believe are "works-of-art" in their own right. So I'm always looking to incorporate them into different garments. Recently, as posted, I've been using them for beret's. But I wanted to do something a little different so this garment is my most recent creation. They're lite and a breeze to wear but have a little "sass" to them. I adore the cotton net lace along the bottom and at the neck. Enjoy!  I've just posted "Chardonnay" at my Etsy shop. PLEASE NOTE: This top is currently on it's way to "Altered Couture" Magazine for a photo-shoot.

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Lace Top - $63.00

Cute top but the fancy part was in the back with the black lace insert - so I just embellished it in the front and on the bottom. By adding black lace to the bottom, it extended the length and gave a softer look to it. And of course, on the straps, I added more goodies of lace and roses. But what gives this top it's edgy look is the black beading draped across the front. This item was just posted on my Etsy shop. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Bolero Jacket - $64.00

I adore white eyelet fabric. Nothing speaks Spring and Summer than "eyelet". When I see it, all sorts of idea's pop into my head. This is a perfect example. Originally starting out as a long-sleeved button-down blouse, it slowly transformed itself into this precious bolero jacket.  It all started with the crocheted ecru colored collar which has tiny little white pearls crocheted into it. On the collar I attached two pieces of vintage French lace. On the bottom are are two layers of lace. Top layer is ecru and underneath, creamy white see-thru lace. I made sure to trim out the edge of the short sleeves. So perfect and you can find this at my Etsy Shop. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Reversible Beret and Matching Bag - $62.00

 I really enjoyed making this because it gave me the opportunity to use this unique fringe that I've been hoarding now for over two years. I new I would find a wonderfull purpose for it - and it was well worth the wait!  The fabric is a stretchy crinkled nylon velvet that was a little girls' dress and it had two style patterns on it. The reverse side of the beret is from a t-shirt and the colors matched so well, like they were meant to be together! I've just posted this ensemble on Etsy. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Midnight Rose Altered Couture Dress - $98.00

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Pink and Black Sweater - $52.00

Pink and Black Parisian Style Sweaer

Featured in Altered Couture Magazine

This sweater, in a previous life, had sleeves and a cowl neck. Alas, I in-visioned something different. The pink and black stripes seemed like it should have a "Parisian" look to it. Luckily the sleeves were a ragland style and so were easy to remove and gave it the right shap. Then I just removed the cowl neck and it was then ready for triming with black chiffon and adding the ties at the sholders. A simple chiffon flower pin on the bottom is the perfect accent! This gorgeous garment was featured in "Altered Couture" Magazine! If interested, you can purchase this on my Etsy shop. Enjoy!

Oooo-la-la!
