New dress for the director

I almost am giddy about giving this scrap dress to the design director tomorrow. I was nervous about her liking it, so I added the pocket- shazam! It's my new favorite scrap project.
And the most fun part is that I actually have the Libby Dibby (judy jetset) that matches this... Too cute!

Skirting around

So it's midnight and the skirt marathon is finally over... 6 little girl skirts and 1 dress later.
Wow. These are fun to make...

Lazy days skirt

So the design director won and we made two skirts today. I was peeking in on soulemama's blog and she had made a bunch (I can see how addicting they could be) of these for her pumpkin. The pattern comes from Oliver + S and is fun, easy and free. I like the ribbon edging.
Spent the few extra minutes to get all the seams serged and we were putting in the finishing touches when Z woke up from a long nap. Wonderful!

On the subject of little girl skirts, expect some new spinny skirts from us soon... Within a week... There will be some fabulous ones available!
(ps. The above skirt is sweet and casual, but not spinny, due to the rectangular cut of fabric)

A Tough Boss

So Momma is sick this week... almost to the point of non-functioning, except for the fact that I have to be Momma... on the way home from pre-school today, the design director says,
"Momma, do you know how to sew when you are sick?"
"yeah... why?"
"so can we still do a project together even if you are sick?"

always, baby, always.
Now there is a 4 year old woman after my own heart.

Sample skirt

Just a sample

Have 2 of these in medium... What do you all think?

Charms

So the design director started this trend, with her name on a charm and a small collection of birds accompanying it... We've now sold a few more like it... If you are ordering charms with names, and want an accompanying charm, give me a holler over email and we'll see what we
can do. I have access to thousands of different designs, so try me...

Dohippy

I just got back from downtown where I picked up 38 new finished (grommetted) dohippy (expandable) bags. I'll get them up on etsy, but get them while they are hot, because they never last long... If you want to place requests in certain patterns and colors, let me know... Since they are made from scraps, you know they match....

Another fall skirt

This one is already made up... We have small, medium, large... :)
