SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: How to Style Your SKCreations Infinity Scarf

I recently had a customer purchase one of my Maxi Skirts in my Zig design, and when she received it she asked if I had an Infinity Scarf to match.  Although I'd made many scarves, I hadn't considered doing one in Zig.  I did one especially for her, and when it was finished I realized how much I liked it so I made one for myself and decided to make the design available in my online store.  I also decided it would be a great choice to showcase the various ways the scarves can be styled:

Draped Loosely Around the Neck

Doubled Around the Neck

High on the Neck and Draped

As a Shrug, Secured with a Pin or Brooch

You can also pair the scarf with a Maxi Skirt.

So you see there is a lot of versatility with these scarves.  I even had a customer tell me that she was going to try to use it as a head wrap.  I haven't tried that myself, but you can get as creative as you like.  To see the complete collection, please visit the SKCreations, LLC online boutique.

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: New Poncho Tops

I recently completed a new surface design collection, titled Kindred.  There are three designs in the collection, each with a different color palette and design layout.  I decided to have the designs printed onto a super soft organic cotton knit fabric, which is perfect for my new Poncho Tops.

Kindred I Poncho Top

Kindred II Poncho Top

Kindred III Poncho Top

The tops are light in weight and very comfortable, and the unique design features a shorter back to create a shawl effect from behind.

They're just right for guarding against that chill in the air, and they're now available in the SKCreations, LLC online boutique.

Fab 5 Friday - The Shay Maxi Skirt and Tube Dress

My Fab5Friday finds this week are the The Shay Maxi Skirts and Tube Dresses by yours truly.  It's actually one article of clothing that serves double duty.  It's crafted from the same super soft, stretchy, modern jersey fabric used for my Infinity Scarves, and features several of my original surface designs.  As a skirt, the wide waistband can be worn fully opened or folded over, either at the natural waist or just above the hip, and the full skirt has a flirty flare.  It's so comfortable too!  Check out these and more in the SKCreations, LLC online boutique!

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Retropolis

I've created many surface design collections, but Retropolis is one of my favorites.  Every time I look at it I think of products that would be great for it.  The designs all have a retro/futuristic theme, which is almost contradictory, but it just seems to work.  Recently, I decided to have Retropolis 5 and 7 printed onto linen cotton canvas.  I'm thrilled with the results.  New projects coming soon!

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Wiggles I

My latest collection of surface designs is called Wiggles.  I considered calling it Squiggles, but either one works since it's a collection of shapes in wavy and squiggly lines that basically represent how I was feeling at the time I was creating the designs.  Sometimes I just need to let loose and go whichever way the flow takes me.  At times I like the results well enough to move forward with them, and sometimes I scratch them.  I'm actually quite happy with the way this turned out, and I've included the "SK" initials in the design indicating that it is an SKCreations Limited Edition.  You can view other color palettes on the SKCreations website.

These are pics of Wiggles I.  My design is on the left, and on the right it's printed on a wonderfully soft and stretchy jersey fabric.  I see a new sewing project in my future.
