As you know Circa is truly sweeping the nation and because of that I am holding tight to mine. I have a photoshoot to do!! But I thought that because all of you mean the world to me that I would at least offer up half yards of all of Circa for all my pals out there. So here’s the deal. The comments have to be here for us to really know what the heck is going on. So share with your neighbors we love that about all of you. Tell us your favorite Sis Boom story if you like but you don’t have too or maybe how you know Jennifer (me) or maybe how you got into sewing. We love your stories!! Tell us about your business and what it means to you. Short and sweet , we love getting to know you. If you know me from facebook / twitter you’ll know I try to reach out to everyone. As we are growing I’m still the same girl who launched Sis Boom and know the heart of what goes on here is because of all of you. It’s a special place with lots of special people and it does take a village.
So leave your message here and you will be entered to win a big stack of 1/2 yard of all Circa’s. I kid you not.Offer ends June 15th at midnight so everyone gets a chance.

I say this when I refer to Kathy Hennessy because she is everyone’s cheerleader and runs an incredible group on facebook for like minded sewing gals/guys. What a forum it is and I love to see the relationships and kinship’s that develop out of such a place. She has ground rules and insists that others play fair and she encourages everyone in their passions and pursuits. Her blog the same name as the Facebook page she runs is called Handmade Dress Haven. This is where it gets exciting. Here she does a tutorial on the Crazy Love Dress she created. I love the bib front on this special frock. Follow the tutorial here.
As always thanks Kathy for letting me peek in to your sewing world and sharing the joys!! Love your 6 year old.

Here they come our new pillows and we will let you know the retailers that will be carrying them. You saw the ones in Happy Home and for those of you who don’t sew we decided to make them available and boy are we glad we did. The outpouring of love on facebook is a good indication that we scored. My Girlfriend Jennifer at Earth Angels Studios will be a good place to start May 1st! We are so excited by their debut..we are talking HAPPY!!!! You can also create these in our book Happy Home with any word/s you like. Please note do to overstock issues their are plenty of books under new on Amazon with much better pricing..just FYI That’s one of the best sewing books ever. ( I’ve been known to exaggerate.)

More beautiful then I remember. My delivery came today and it is beyond what I recall!! Really is so beautiful and so worth the wait. I’ve been right along side my friends who have waited patiently. Before you know it you will have it and have difficulty cutting it. That’s what I always here from you guys!! So here is a pic, dream of the days ahead. The good news is most of it will ship in the next three weeks so before late May like intended. Think about headboards and canopy’s in Happy Home and Girls Dresses and accessories in Girls World. Please show us your visions too!! Remember both books are in our shop for $42.00 Come by and say hi!!

Hanny lach Handmade kids the brain child of Cindy Seaman has such great kidswear and she customizes. That’s not so easy to find in a world of readymade and she does it so well. She’s a JP stasher and that makes for lots of options !! So find Cindy on facebook and ask her Wassup?? I love my Australian buds I even got a map out yesterday to see where they all are and they are all over the country. How they discovered me I will never know. Cindy is from Canberra, Australia. I also have an app that tells me what time it is there..(Don’t want to wake them.) Alex and Grace from Queensland, Australia host the most amazing online auctions and Cindy is a part of that group as well. I tell you I love them all and they get me!! We are all on facebook press the links and get to know us it’s where we chat and look at amazing fabric all day!!
