Amazulu Living Room

Don't miss the second weekend of the grand opening of the Amazulu Living Room, located at 1529 Reed Street, Philadelphia, PA.  It is wonderful in so many ways... the space, the clothing, the jewelry, the art, the culture, the people and the energy.  I truly enjoyed my visit last weekend, and I will definitely be returning.  The owner, Charita Powell, is such a wonderful spirit, and I am so happy for her and her newest venture.  I know she will do well there.

Here are some pics from my visit last weekend.

I'm also honored that Charita requested to have some of my maxi skirts/tube dresses available for purchase in the store.

Be sure to visit the store if you're in Philadelphia.  It's also worth a trip if you're out of town!

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Peace

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the word "peace".  It's a small word with such a huge meaning.  It encompasses a lack of conflict and unrest, as well as harmony, quiet and a state of mind.  Don't we all long for that?  It is even commonly used as a greeting.  The symbol for peace is universal, and has spanned generations.

I've created a design, titled Peace, that represents the positivity of this word.  Specifically, when we have peace of mind we feel lighter, happier and better overall.  When I completed the design it brought a smile to my face, as it captures the joyful tone I intended for it to project.  I had the design printed onto the popular modern jersey fabric, and used it to create The Shay Maxi Skirt/Tube Dress and the Bella Skirt.  When you wear these items, you're sure to feel happier too.

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: The Shay in Kindred II

This Shay Maxi Skirt/Tube Dress is crafted from a super soft modern jersey fabric that features our original Kindred II surface design.  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.  The Shay can also be worn as a tube dress.  It's a great way to show off your effortless style. 

Tube Dress or Maxi Skirt?  Which look would you choose?

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: The Shay Maxi Skirt/Tube Dress in Naturally ME Noir 2

I am very thankful for the reception that my new products, The Shay Maxi Skirt/Tube Dresses, have received.  One customer who purchased a skirt made a special request for a second.  She'd seen my Naturally ME Noir 2 t-shirt and asked if I could make a skirt using that design.  I hadn't considered it before, but I got excited about the idea.  I knew it would require a bit more fabric since it has a design which would need specific placement on the skirt, but I was sure it would work.  Well, not only did it work, I am thrilled with the result!

I shipped the finished product off to my customer, and two days later she sent me this message and photo:

"I got my skirt!  LOVE IT LOVE IT!  Thank you so much!"

 

 
I think she looks great!  The Naturally ME Noir 2 Maxi Skirt/Tube Dress is now available in the SKCreations, LLC online boutique.

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Coming Soon - The Shay

If you attended our Spring Trunk Show last month, you saw our newest addition to the SKCreations line of products, The Shay Maxi Skirt/Tube Dress.  Some of you even purchased one at the show (thank you), and I hope you are enjoying it.  For those of you who weren't there, The Shay is a maxi skirt that can also be worn as a tube dress.  It's crafted from the same super soft and stretchy modern jersey fabric used for our Infinity Scarves, and features several of our 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.  Here's a peek:
