Some bright ruffles!

Here is a dress I made last year for Easter. All I could think about were ruffles and gathers, I wanted layers of ruffles....and with the help of my Grams, we made it happen. She is always so encouraging for me to "step out of the boat" and take risks in my sewing. Sometimes just getting the courage to make that first cut on a beautiful piece of fabric takes confidence (and not just your own!) in the vision! Thanks for being in my corner Grams, that side zipper was an adventure!!

In-House Stocking Fabrics

Choose fabric from my studio supply and receive 20% of the basic stocking price ($9.00)! Here is some of what is available, I've also paired them with some fun trims:

These are five different Christmas fabrics we ordered from NYC, the two on the end are vintage ornaments and dots-so cute!


Here is some tone on tone black and white, you can choose any thread color for the name to add a splash of color!


A cute pink floral with white for the contrast.


Some creams, purples and greens...pom-poms make everything fun!


These bright polka dots would be great for a patchwork stocking.


Stripes and polka dots make this black/multi-colored stocking retro fun!


Chocolate brown, red and green with flowers.
