Damask Pants

I just wanted to show off a new pair of ruffled pants with a beautiful Michael Miller damask print. A customer wanted black and white damask, and they turned out beautifully. They are also the first pair done with my new pattern, and I love how they look! And yeah, I have been making a lot of pants lately, but don't worry, I should be listing a new dress tomorrow (as long as I get the pictures taken!).

Went to Hobby Lobby today with my sister-in-law. I love that store, and bought way more than the 1 yard of pink fabric I went in for. Something I am really excited about is a book with sewing patterns/tutorials for kids' clothes. It is very modern, the clothes are adorable, and I love it! My cousing just had a baby girl, and I think I will be sewing a dress, pants, and booties for her. I'll let you know the name of the book when my brain is working properly.

Happy New Year!

Welcome, 2010! Unlike the countless on facebook who seem to think 2009 was just awful, we had a great year. Yeah, financially we aren't exactly doing well, but other than that...we are SO blessed. So I want to take the time to thank God for those many blessings. My children- I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl this year! (My dream come true). My husband, who is always wonderful, my sweet little boy who is growing waaaay too fast and is just as cute as ever. Our healthy, church, friends and family, salvation, and people to lean on when we need it. And the fact that my clothing business is off to a good start. Speaking of which, this week alone I have sold several pairs of ruffled pants, in all kinds of patterns and sizes. Craziness. People love their ruffled pants- and let me tell you, I am loving them too. In fact, I broke down and bought Sandi Henderson's ruffled pants pattern, which means I will be adding capris, double ruffled, and triple ruffled pants to my shop. And tomorrow...I will add my newest dress from the Gracie pattern, and blog about it. So stay tuned! And enjoy the final installment of Christmas pictures!
