Here's a fun one: I made this apron for a group of Pillsbury bake off competitors (at least I think that is the basis of the group, but I do know they are a bunch of folks that LOVE TO COOK!) and they are going to send it all around the US, and even over seas! You can see it, and follow its antics here: www.runawayapron.blogspot.com<… IrishDan ... Wednesday, May 19, 2010 Comments (0) Tags

I made it to 100!! Today, I sold my white ruffle communion dress for my 100th sale! Ironic that it was one of the first things I made "just for my shop." I am doing the happy dance - and working on a few new items to list! Open this post to see a picture of the dress... You can check out my shop at irishandmore.etsy…
Today is my 1 year anniversary on Etsy. One year ago, very late at night, I opened up my shop! (www.irishandmore.etsy.com) What a year it has been. I had my best ever Halloween sales, and had SO MUCH FUN making all those wonderful costumes. It really is a great community, and I have enjoyed working with the customers. I l… IrishDan ...

These dresses are the ultimate challenge for a seamstress! Check them out in the link below. Each one is a sparkle encrusted, stiff skirted, lace and embroidery embellished wonder! http…
Today was our local Susan B Kohmen Race for the Cure for Breast Cancer awareness. They always do it on Mother's day weekend, and many moms and daughters participate together. I believe they started here, and have gone nation wide now. It is quite a big thing here, and the whole town seems to wear pink! So in honor of R…
I just finished a prom gown that would also work as a simple bridal gown. (See pic in my profile in my Bridal/Formal wear portfolio.) It went together fast, and fits my customer perfectly! She is picking it up today. She is a senior that knows exactly what she wants, and this was almost too easy! The pattern, the creamy fabric and the l…
A joyous and blessed Easter to all! I am visiting family in Indiana, and for a change, we have a sunny day with only a little chill in the air. (Last few years, there was snow on the ground still!) The kids (ages 11 - 20) will be doing their egg hunt soon. I guess you never really outgrow it! Lately, I have been …
OOoo - Etsy has me just itching to sew for fun! I have been scanning all of the garments for sale out there, and am fascinated by the trends. Tons of cute pillowcase dresses for little girls, and a lot of Steampunk goth looking stuff for the 20ish crowd. A bit of costuming, a whole bunch of vintage stuff, some upcycled artic…
In the spirit of the season, I just finished a leprechaun costume for a cute little guy! I have pictures posted in my portfolio both under Children's Garments and Costumes. Hopefully, I will get pictures of him in it at the parade or the party afterwards. I used the Burda little boy suit pattern number 9812 and cut the…
