Same Story, New Day

So, those of you that are not interested in fabric are going to moan at this post. However, I LOVE fabric so I am going to lay it all out there for you.... I just received more new fabric!!! It is so beautiful and I can not wait to start making goodies with it (ahem.... as soon as I finish my other orders). For those of you who are sewers, you will be pleased to know that I am offering 10% off ANY purchase (yes, any purchase) in my etsy store if you mention that you read my blog in the note to sellers or a convo with me. So, even if you don't sew and need a cozy for your coffee, rush on over while they are on sale! (Not everyone at once now)

I have four new prints from the Botanica collection:

And three prints from the Chick Blooms line:

I will be posting these new lovelies in my shop tomorrow!! Just thought I would give you a sneak peek tonight!!

Sweetheart Dress with Art Gallery Fabric

I finally finished the double ruffle on the bottom!! Emily tried it on and she loves it... whew. This cute little pattern came from Mindy at Froglegs and Ponytails. She has so many cute patterns to choose from. This one came together so quickly and easy that I am definitely going to purchase another pattern style. I finished the bottom of the dress with a double rolled hem ruffle instead of the bias binding. This pattern is very versatile as you can pair it with a long sleeved shirt and a pair of pants or jeans in the winter for year round wearability!!

I used the Girly Girl line from Art Gallery Fabric. I used Reflections, for the main dress and Bubblegum Lollipops and Berry Whispers for the double rolled hem ruffle at the bottom.

My next personal project will include making a pair of pants to coordinate with this dress and also a matching buttercup bag. Every girl needs their own buttercup bag!!

I am going to take requests to make this sweet little jumper. Head on over to my fabric choices on flickr to pick out your favs. I need one for the main dress, one for the ties and bottom ruffle, and one for the smaller ruffle. If you prefer the bias binding instead of the ruffle, the dress is reversible!! Pick out 2 for the main dress and 1 for the ties/bottom binding. The price for this cute little jumper is $29.95 to $39.95 depending on fabric choice and size. Sizes available are 12-24 mo, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Emily is wearing size 6 or 7 in regular clothes. With the addition of the double ruffle (adds a wee bit of length), the dress hit her at the top of her knees.

As always, I do not have all of my fabrics posted. If there is something you are interested in, please contact me as I can usually get what you are looking for!

IT'S HERE!!!!

My Art Gallery Fabric is here and it is even more beautiful than I had imagined!! Finley was quick to climb into the box to help me sort things...

What a good little helper!

I couldn't wait and just had to start sewing a dress for Emily out of Reflections and Berry Whispers. Here is a sneak peek... I wasn't able to finish the ruffled bottom as my serger decided this morning was a good time to go on vacation, much to my dismay!
