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 Upcycled Leather Suede Shoes - $34.00
When I came across these shoes, my first thought was "wedding shoes?". I guess because of the style of shoe, the color and particularly, the heel! Very old fashioned looking. Then I thought about if it were for a wedding, I would put vintage lace on it. I have so many vintage dolies so I took two small ones and hot-glued them to the top of the shoe. The bone color was so perfect for a vintage look. So perfect, so vintage, so wedding! These shoes can be found on my Etsy store. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Black Wrap Dress with Lace - $98.50
This is made of a combination of a soft black voile cotton wrap around skirt and a top made of the same fabric. It was a pretty easy assembly. I actually took more time playing the with application of the lace panels and applique. I just listed this on Etsy. Enjoy!Thursday, March 1, 2012
French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Black Crocheted Purse with Appliques - $26.00
Actually, this purse was made last year but it was the incentive for the black velvet jacket with appliques! This purse was featured in a Stampington Magazine last year! There are so many "like new and new" purses to be found at thrift stores and such and they are like a "blank canvas" for some many things that can be done. This is just an example of one of my idea's. If you're going to apply appliques, it will require hand-sewing. A little secret, pull out the lining and open the seam up at the very bottom. That way you can work on the purse for all the sewing. This item is now listed on Etsy. Enjoy!
