One of the things that I am enjoying most about making one of a kinds is that I can use favorite scraps of fabric that are too small for more than a sheath.  This particular piece of beautiful lemon colored silk is very special.  It has pin tucks in a diamond pattern overall, and then yellow embroidered flowers over the pin tucks.  This gives the fabric a beautiful texture.  To make it even more special, I embroidered pearls in the centers of the flowers.  There is only one.  Perfect for Easter!

Yesterday, the beautiful red haired Fiorella silkstone arrived on my doorstep, all the way from Japan, via The Netherlands.  I wanted to make a dress inspired by her coloring and came across this beautiful and unusual gilded linen in apricot.  The sheath has a square neckline and cap sleeves.  A sash and bow treatment at the waist is in a gold kissed rose silk.  Tiny sequins in various shades of gold, blush and apricot are scattered over the neckline for a little added sparkle.
