Busy Sewing





Things are slowing way down in my etsy shop, but I have been busy sewing anyway :) I'm working on a few custom orders, and trying to create as much as I can for an upcoming craft show. This will be my first one, so any tips or ideas will be much appreciated! I'm glad I have a handy husband who can help me with the display! In fact, I saw something neat on a blog: http://www.blogmimigreen.com/blog/2008/05/craft-show-good.html. She doesn't sell the same stuff I do, but I liked the thingy made with PVC pipe. I could hang smaller dresses and skirts on something like that, and borrow a rolling hanger from someone to hang some other stuff, as well as placing things on the table. I also plan to make some hair accesories. (for girls and women!)

I am also finally getting some of the professional photos of some clothes I made awhile ago. The little girl is such an adorable model, and the photographer is great! The pictures above are some that she took along with a dress I just made for the craft show. In the meantime, I am praying for more online sales to come my way so I can buy the supplies I need! :D
Aaaand just so everyone knows, right now I am doing a summer special: spend $30 or more in the shop and recieve 15% off. So even if you only spend $30, you still get at least $4.50 off! This does not include shopping.

boy oh boy...

Nicey Jane fabrics

Boy pants!

I made some boy pants :) And put them in the shop! So boys can have cute clothes too. I also plan to put up a tutorial on how to make them soon. They are just basic, boys' lounge pants. Pretty soon, you will see pants with pockets on them...and ties, too. :D




I am so excited about the new fabric line from Heather Bailey...Nicey Jane. Odd name, in my opinion, but I looove the fabric. I just got some in the mail, and have good plans for it. Unlike most people, I can't wait to cut into new fabric. My goal is to have an end-product that I love, so I don't like to let fabric sit for awhile, uncut. Right now I am working on another knot dress, with Sandi Henderson fabrics. I think my 3 favorite fabric designers are Heather Bailey, Sandi Henderson, and Patty Young. They have the best selection, brightest colors, etc. There are many more that I love as well, but I won't bore you with that!
