Dear Mr. Gable

After years of family and friends telling me I should sell what I've been sewing lately, I finally threw together a tiny collection of handmade clothes and accessories. If you're interested in any of the listed items, leave a comment, and I'll contact you. As soon as I get payment, I will ship (FREE SHIPPING) the next day. Feel free to ask questions about measurements or fit! Also on sale at www.dearmistergable.etsy.com for secure transactions online (shipping charges do apply).

Tie Skirt - $45






This is a skirt made of 19 old men's ties. The ties are all different brands and styles, but mostly all browns and blues with diagonal stripes. They are zig-zag stitched together, with enough stretch to fit over your hips that a zipper wasn't needed. Trendy and recycled!
Waist 36"
Waist to tip of the ties 21 1/2"
*If you would like the skirt smaller in the waist, just notify me and I can alter it for you.

Darling Polka Dot Knit Dress - $40




This is made out of a very stretchy knit, so it probably fits a range of sizes. The sleeves are elastic, zipper in the back, and the lining is made out of the same material, an inch longer on bottom. The fabric I bought was at the end of the bolt, so some of the polka dots on the inside only are less than perfectly white, but the outside dots are just fine.
Bust: 34"
Waist: 28"

Tassle Bag - $35



I finished this Nautical-style bag this morning. This is $20/yard tassle from a home decor store. The rope straps are more stationary than drawstring-like, but very sturdy. A decorative blue binding holds the bag closed, while the outer layer of the bag is more for looks.

Christmas Present Jumper - $22





I wanted this dress to look like a present! Back zipper, white shirt not included, gold ribbon IS included, but not attached to the dress.
Bust: 36
Waist: 29
Hip: 36

Italian Cooking Apron - $28



I designed this apron to be flattering on most any figure. The gather top is polka-dot print, with olive green trim and sash.
