I picked up this new-to-me shawl that I thought fabulously clashed with Miss Estella’s dress. The beautiful cravat that didn’t sell coordinated so well I had to sacrifice it for her bonnet.

Preparation for Dickens Christmas Fair is well under way 
Made it through the first workshop weekend as well as dancing practice with the Prince consort(s) tonight. I wanted a fun project & these have been fun so far. I have one more I’ll probably work on this week.

My mother-in-law is selling her wares at the rehearsal weekends up in Pacifica. I’m thinking I’ll have her put these at her booth to see if anyone is interested. (more…)
Hi, I'm Laurie Tavan. I run my own custom sewing business making one-of-a-kind designs for weddings, dress-up, and fun. Stick around for a behind-the-scenes look into my workroom & travels.
Watch my projects take form. I'll be showing you what goes into my garments: inside and out and often from start to finish. Check out my portfolio to see the results.
