Parisian Love Letters Denim Cropped Embroidered Vest

Embroidered Cropped Denim Vest with Paris Love by ReneesOutOnAWhim

I love making these little vests, denim is always fashionable.  I decided to make this one a little romantic.  I used embroidery designs from "Urban Threads", my absolutely most favorite place to get the embroidery designs that are edgy and unusual.

New Project - Cute Hand Dyed Ombre' Cropped & Soon To be Embroidered Vest

Step One - Dying the Vest

Okay,  you know I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE big bold bright colors, and this project is no different.  I plan to do some awesome embroidery designs and some layering of fabrics, etc.  I'll Keep you posted.  Until then,

here is the First Step.  Fuschia Dye on the Top and the Bottom of the little cropped vest, leaving it white in the middle.

Sewing the embroideries

These were done in a quilt layering style, quilt batting sandwiched between two white cotton pieces, then cut out into individual pieces, and then sewn onto the vest.

 Then I embroidered directly onto the jacket with these awesome designs from "Urban Threads".

This little vest is loaded with  over 100.00 worth of high quality embroideries from "Urban Threads" based upon 1.00 per 1000 stitches,
and lastly for a nice finishing touch, I lined the vest with a colorful print to cover the underside of the embroideries.

Aaaaand . . . here we have Clarissa, my son's girlfriend wearing the vest!! Soooo Cute!!!

Garden Fairy Princess Crowns

I made these for my little grand daughters.  They were so easy to make and there are several tutorials on how to make them. (http://iknowtheplansihave4you.blogspot.com/2012/07/howtomakealacecrown.html) this is the one I used.  Thanks, Jill!!  I added a structural change to mine though, I added a wire around the bottom of my crowns, and it provided more stability to the crowns.
