Huyter House

I finished up the last of the dance costume builds for this years festival costumes! Festival looks much different than in past years, But at least the kids get to dance! #dancecostumes #

Greeted by rainbows today! I guess I don’t spend enough time in my studio in the early mornings... working as I night owl there is no sun streaming through the windows I’m so glad it’s warm a d I can open the windows and hear the bird song #homestudio #rainbowsandsunshine #huyterhouseofsewinganddesign

The last 2 weeks has been nutty with altering/recreating dance costumes for this weeks virtual dance competition. I allowed myself a restful birthday weekend (44 yesterday!) and avoided the studio. This morning I was greeted with a sparkly welcome back feeling rested and renewed! #glittertophat #sunshine #huyterhouseofsewinganddesign

Gown 12! Just a zipper adjustment for this mauve bridesmaids dress! The color doesn’t come through well on my phone unfortunately

Gown 11! A Crown hem and zipper adjustment for this powder blue grad dress! You know a dress is teeny tiny when it’s on the blue dress form!

2 days of turning straight leg dance outfits into wide legs.... so glad to be moving on to something else today!!!! My overlock and coverlock machines got a work out

The last week or so has been very unproductive! I have been so inundated with work messages, drop by guests, needy puppies and children, air cadet duties, and Reno’s, that I have accomplished very little actual work! So today, I will not be available for anything not already scheduled, and my messaging will be turned off!

Not sewing related, but something else dear to me! If any Salmon Arm and area people would like to support the 222 Shuswap Air Cadet Squadron by purchasing some beautiful Christmas arrangements, we would be most appreciative Thank you These fundraisers help us continue this amazing program for our youth!

Pantless sewing in the studio! Sew unprofessional of me ;) I actually was just desperate to fix the pocket in the pants I was wearing ... no clients were traumatized ;) #pantlesssewing #fixitdonttrashit #myonlyjeansthatfit

Gown 84! A hem and shoulder adjustments for this wedding dress!

Canadian stereotype costume complete!

My 14 yr old is going as a Canadian stereotype for Halloween. My contribution to his costume is a furry ear flap hat ... and I had all the materials in my stash, so score! What are some Canadian stereotypes that come to your mind? #usingupmystash #halloween2020 #canadianstereotypes
