Little Miss Mingle

This is some very exciting news.  Sometime back a few months ago a group called Miss Mingle started sewing up projects and it was with a bit of a challenge in mind.  The outfit that everyone created in the group had to be made with a certain Sis Boom fabric.  It was so exciting to see the creations roll out and It was amazing what ensued.  As the individual designers debuted their finished product they took orders and they took orders and did I say they took orders.  I was copied on all of the correspondence because I had shared some of them on my own facebook and I can tell you I’ve never seen so many orders in my life.  Intrigued to say the least.  So this time around they are creating everything from Crazy Love and we are all gathering around to see the sneek peeks..6 more days, I cannot take it.  So they have a fresh new FB page and are almost ready for some peeks.  Please like them and stay tuned to what these guys create.  I seriously love these girls and their enthusiasm it’s infectious.  Please let me know what else Sis Boom can do to make this a successful launch.  Thanks so much for using our fabrics to create your goodies..

Pretty Pillows

Be part of the movement….

Girls World is now international and folks are using it to teach young girls how to sew and sewing clubs and workshops are popping up all over to teach the projects in Girls World.  The wonderful thing is with these simple designs it is meant for you to add your signature.  A ruffle here a flutter  sleeve there.  It’s up to you!!  My momma taught me that we don’t have to wear labels and that are own name is enough.  I like that.. So enjoy the process.  There are plenty of examples in flickr and on facebook of women creating businesses with the inspiration from Girls World.  So join us and share the love of beautiful things. They are back in stock on Amazon.  I love the tulle apron with glitter ribbon and the Mary Fancy Sash dress in green totally ready for Spring.

A little sprout!!

So gosh darn delicious. I love to see the little ones with the large patterns!!  Melanie O’Brien from A Sewing Journal is the loveliest. We met on twitter and also the quilt market I believe.  I love what she creates and she shares it all on her blog.  This is an amazing little pillowcase dress but it’s the back that is really so sweet a big bow so this little sprout looks like a present.  Thanks so much Melanie for showing me this.  I love the fabrics you chose and love the bow!!  Hugs for the little one.  Melanie shares with you how she makes it here.  Thanks for sharing the ease of how this goes together.
