Dress and Bloomer Shorts.

I made this outfit because the pattern was so cute that to not make it would have been a crime.  It was a really old Butterick pattern: circa 1970's or 1980's I would guess from the photo on the front and the style of the pattern tissue.

I thought I would make a cake again...

Fondant... so scary to work with, such a satisfying result.

I love the contrasting colours Kiri chose...

Kiri and Kyle, thanks so much for entrusting me with your wedding cake!  I had fun, what a blast from the past for me.  Although, I must say, 10 years ago I was a lot faster at it!  And huge props to my mother for her baking genius.  Your chocolate-zucchini recipe is absolutely to die for.

These drapes were made for walking.

Drapery fabric gets a second chance.

Not your Mama's Mary-Janes.

One Boot... Two Boots.

You Aint Clutch, You Aint Much!

I just finished this clutch for one of the lifeguards at my work to match her Grad dress. Here is the dress:

A little bit of a variation on the gathered clutch. I think it turned out ridiculously whimsical. I LOVE IT!

Spring Things.

So right now I have started work on a few "requested" pieces. Two purses, a few photography props, and one larger shoulder bag.

I have the pattern for the Grand-poo-ba diaper mat finished, which I have affectionately named the "PooBa", and I can't wait to make it... but I am FORCING myslef to get all my commissioned stuff finished first. (Which really I don't have to FORCE myself to do, I love it!)

New photos to come as things are completed!

A little birdy told me to make this bag.

So I did.





-The Everything Bag design - pleated front, fully lined interior.

Thanks for the input!

Thanks for all the help with the baby change mat design... I think I officially have the design finalized, now just to find the time to sew it...

March is a busy month of us, both at work and home, so I'm starting to think that until April, Round Owl won't be getting the attention it deserves. We literally don't have a free weekend... ack! How did that happen! (Oh, right, both of the boys in this house are born less than a week apart, it is the end of the school year, and I am doing some extra training for work...) I'm super flattered a number of you have contacted me for some custom pieces... I AM SO EXCITED TO MAKE THEM! But I am afraid that I will have to wait until the middle of April to take on any more custom requests other than the ones I have already agreed to. I don't want my "hobby" to turn into a second job...

But thank you so much everyone for taking an interest in Round Owl Designs. I'm loving this hobby, sewing by our wood-burning stove in the evenings has truly been good for my soul.

Baby Travel Change Pad...

Hey Everyone,

I am busy designing a baby change pad right now and I wanted some input from you.

If you had an IDEAL travel change pad (to take with you out and about) what would be included on it?

This thing is going to be the Mama of all change pads.

-It will be compact.
-Attachable to a stroller.
-Pouch for Wipes & Diapers
-Nylon "wipeable" surface under baby's bum... those fuzzy ones never made sense to me?...

Any other important features? I'd love your input before I get going on this thing.

:-)Caryn.
