Designs by Patty CaSandra

I have done a lot of designs over the years. I have always been able to draw. More so when I was young.  I wish I had went to school to enhance my skills at drawing but as I grew older i found other things to occupy my mind. So drawing only appealed to me every now and then, I thinks i do a decent job to have the natural ability and only do it every now and again.

Early morning Draping

I love to design.  I must be a natural at it. I have been doing this since i was a little girl with my baby dolls. I though that was the way that you make clothes. At that time i never knew nothing about patterns. I would use my doll clothes to copy her clothes with some old clothes that my baby sister could not were anymore. My mother was very over protected of her 3 girls. So I would go sneak the needle and thread and scissors. I would cut those clothes and copy my doll clothes and some i would drape them on the doll and sew them while i was draping them. The funny part is that my mom would keep the too small clothes in a box in the attic. When she wanted to give them away she would go get them and would swear up and down that there were more clothes in that attic. It was so funny because the cute little clothes that was getting too small for my sister i could not wait till they go in the too small clothes box so my baby doll and barbie dolls can have some fresh new clothes.


I pop up at 5 am every morning since i was a little girl. The 5ish am is my best thinking time my brain is wired. Sometimes i have so much going on up there that i can not focus, So sometimes it take a couple cups of tea and turn me some smooth jazz on. Then i am ready to go. This is just one video that i decide to shoot .

Hoodie Shrug a cute decontruction

when my 33 year old was a 13 years old his dad purchased him some Nike's. They were all white i told his dad he did not need white shoes just yet. But did he listen to me noooo. The next week after the purchase he came home from school and told me he needed to tell his dad that he needed some more shoes. I said " uh why?  You just got a brand new pair last week!  OMGoodnes you guys would never guess what he said...... He said i just threw those in the garbage because someone stepped on them and got them dirty.. I thought i was gonna loose my mind.  I said if you don't go get those @#%^&% shoes out of the trash that cost almost $100.00 bucks we are gonna have some issues you and I. That day I taught him how to keep his shoes clean. We laugh about it today and he still keep him some clean white shoes

My 16 year old had a hoodie that he was going to throw in the trash.  I said, "hold up STOP i can use that. his thoughts were the hoodie has hole in it, I told him boy give me that hoodie and what your momma work .....lol

Little Cute Tunic look-a-Like

Okay one of my vendors in California was selling this dress. One of my girl friends wanted that dress, Well I guess i was too late calling to order it. I felt so bad the i decide to just make the dress. Of course i had to make it, Just because i could. If I had had the right type of material on had I would have just made it and given it to her. But instead I decided to use the material that I had on hand and this is how it turned out.  Well I think it turned out just great

Wrap Dress Look-a-Like

This was just a little simple cute outfit that i just fell in live with (turquoise on the left.) The one on the right (the black print) is the one i copied,

The story goes. I cute little medical rep always come to the office and is always dress so cute I noticed that her outfits kinda all seem like they are from the same designer. One day she came in with the dress on the left on I thought it was just the cutest casual dress i have seen in a long time. I knew right then I wanted to make this dress. So I had to kinda check it out, you know....to see how many pieces makes was needed to make up the dress. So i kinda complemented her on the dress, Then she proceeded to tell me the designer's name "Elizabeth Mackay"  So of course i looked the the designer up, So for this simple dress the price is $ 285.00, When she said that i said oooh i can make that, So that was that.... now i was on a mission and my mission is done
