Short Maternity Dress

Here's what I have been up to lately.

The last 6 months I haven't posted much because it has been busy. Brandon and I bought a new home and quickly started updating a few parts of the house. We got a new roof, new gutters, new bathroom downstairs, changed some electrical, a few new fixtures, all new concrete, a few landscaping needs and lots of decorating. I think the decorating will be an on going project. Here are a few snap shots of what we have done so far.

Custom Summer Wedding Dress

As many of you know, I LOVE making wedding dresses, and custom dresses at that. I was hired by a wonderful lady to make a wedding dress for a summer outdoor wedding. We had fun going to the fabric store together and watching her wedding dress come to life. Here is a snap shot of Lisa in her custom wedding dress. She was great to send me a picture quickly after her wedding ( it was just this last weekend!) Thank you Lisa for being such a great customer, and allowing me the pleasure of making your wedding dress.

Fun Summertime Aprons!

A towel as part of an apron is super! How many times do you want to dry your hands when you're cooking? Well,  I do at least!

Every once in a while~

....I make a dress for me. This was a dress I was determined to make and wear!

My handsome husband, I just had to show him off!!

Camera time !

My husband and I got a "nice" camera a while back and Lisa (my sister-n-law) and I took a class to learn a little more about our cameras. This is a great thing to do to help you take good photos. No matter what you shoot....taking pictures of family, things you love, things you create, people you love, activities you like to participate in...ect. This picture of me was taken by Lisa. I thought it was an awesome picture and wanted to show of her skills!!! Great pic Lisa.

Anna's Dress

This was a fun "Vintage Look" dress made just for Anna Roberts. She had a few places that she wanted to wear a pretty dress. Thanks Anna for letting me make you a beautiful dress!

Brides on Bikes

Fun Dresses

Dress Rehearsal Dress for Liz






















A fun dress to wear to a wedding for Lisa:

Are you a Mommy To Be?

Maybe you need a fabulous dress for your showers. Here is one of my clients at her shower in her adorable dress made just for her and her baby bump.

Attending a Wedding or Two?

It is that time of year where you are bound to get at least ONE wedding invitation....if not TEN. Here are a few dresses I designed for separate clients who were planning to attend a friend's wedding.

Summer Dress

Maxi dresses are in and a big hit this spring and summer. I whipped this one together quickly in an attempt to have a new outfit ! It has become a favorite of mine already!

















Another fun summer dress with lots of flow and ruffles :

Tons of T-shirts, Lots of scrap= warm memories to wrap up in.

T-shirt quilts: a fun way to make all those t-shirts in your drawers put to better use. Here is a picture of a t-shirt quilt I made for my brother-n-law. It was a gift from his wifey on Christmas morning!

Custom Shirts

#1. I have heard many times before from many different men," My shirts never fit right". So men, if you are not finding shirts to fit right you can have them tailored or just have them designed. Here is one of my custom shirts. Please email or call me if you would like to be next ! nickimeadows@gmail.com

Pocket Squares

If you watch Mad Men you will know that they are pushing a great old style of tailored suits, pocket squares & tie bars. Here are a few fun pocket squares I created by adding hand sewn detail. This is a great way to accessorize men.

A Tiny Custom

I received an email from a client who is getting married. She had already picked out her bridesmaids and knew what dresses they were going to be wearing. Such an exciting time! However one of her bridesmaids is exceptionally petite, and called in for a custom dress to match the dresses she already picked out. We are still in the fitting stages - so hopefully soon I will have pictures of it on soon.

Gold Zipper Dress

Have you been seeing lots of Gold Zippers? I just love the exposed gold zipper and also wearing suit dresses. They are probably my favorite. HOWEVER, I always have trouble buying ones that fit just right. You would think, being a designer I would make my own (duh), and tailor it to fit me. WELL, I finally made time, did something for myself and had so much fun making this dress.

Boleros for Winter Weddings

 Fur Boleros for a Winter Wedding.

A fun fur project. The short cap sleeve fur boleros is for 7 bridesmaids. The sleeved and collared bolero is for the Bride. I was totally excited to receive an email from this client. She shared with me her ideas for what she wanted, I sent her the sketches and before you knew it I was making the boleros. My clients wedding was Dec 17th, and went off grandly. My sister-n-law who attended the wedding said she heard tons of compliments....that makes me smile. I am so glad they came together perfectly for this winter occasion.
