If you’ve ever wondered if you should pre-shrink fabric before installing a zipper, the answer is yes, and here’s a good example of why. 😂 Once washed, the fabric (if cotton) surrounding the zipper will shrink, but the zipper (polyester/nylon/etc) will not, and you’ll end up with a curly zipper mess like this.
(By the way, I did not make these! They are Hudson Baby quilted sleep sacks, and they’re the SAME SIZE. One has been washed (and shrunk!) and one hasn’t. 😅)
A great way to avoid the major shrinkage with finished items is to wash them in cool water and dry on either low heat or air only, as heat will cause the fabric to shrink more.

Here’s a beautiful gown with a ballroom bustle I added recently! This bustle includes a system of 11 points of ribbon ties on the lining to pull the train up underneath the dress for a more finished off look. ☺️

This wedding dress… 😅😍 This was by far the most rewarding (and intense) alteration job I’ve ever done on a wedding dress. The bride wanted lace sleeves attached, as well as some additional coverage added to the front and back of the neckline. (The dress was originally a “tank top” style with a very basic neckline… the last two photos show the original style.) After many hours of working together drafting ideas, shopping for lace to match the lace already on the dress, hand stitching every last lace detail, and finishing everything with barely a week to spare before the wedding, the result was more beautiful than either of us originally planned! Thank you, Olivia, for the many hours you were willing to hang around for the constant fittings when we were running low on time, and for sending me so many lovely photos! I really enjoyed working with you and getting to know you while we worked on this. 🥰❤️

Here’s a prom dress I worked on! I hemmed it as well as added a panel to make the slit a little lower. The third photo is the original slit for a before and after comparison. 😁

The interior seam binding is complete, which means my laptop bag is officially finished!! (Well, except for some decorative zipper pulls that I may or may not get around to adding.) I really love how it turned out! Hopefully I can get some nice photos of the exterior (in better lighting) to show off all the details. 😄

This dress originally had plain spaghetti straps, which I replaced with some wider straps covered in lace taken from the skirt train. It also had a heavily glittered tulle layer underneath, which I removed and replaced with a layer of champagne colored tulle to give the skirt a slightly warmer tone. I also bustled the train!
Congratulations, Bethany! You look beautiful!

Current progress on the laptop bag!
The bag is fully assembled and almost finished! The removable/adjustable shoulder strap is complete. All that’s left is to finish binding the seams on the inside! The last photo shows roughly what the binding will look like.
