Beach Boho Style

Our friends over at Hickity-Pickity sent me these gorgeous shots for their new summer collection using Caravelle Arcade. All I can say is WOWZERS. Have you seen anything cuter for little girls this summer??? They have outdone themselves again!

HP1

Holy summer cuteness! The top is called Beach Bandeaux and the bottom’s are Shelling Shorties! Loving the contrasting big bow on the back.

HP2

Perfectly cool and comfortable for a beach party or just hanging out in the backyard on a lazy summer day.

HP3

Who is ready for tea in these darling Twirly Sundresses?

HP4

Judy has such a talent for mixing the colors and patterns. I bet any little girl could dance the day away in one of these dresses!

HP5

Such much cuteness, I can’t take it! FABULOUS!

HP6

Any summer weddings coming up? These Tulle Sundresses complete with a beautiful tulle overlay with white seersucker skirt would be perfect! Thank you Hickity Pickity for designing and making inspiring clothing for little ones. I am honored you pick Sis Boom fabrics to bring your creations to life!

Tea time

Stop what you’re doing right now, grab yourself a cup or tea or coffee, and check out these darling tea mats Melissa Peda made over at 100 Billion Stars. Blues, pinks and big florals combine all my favorites into one easy sewing project!

Aren’t they smashing?! I can’t get enough of them. She used fabric from our newest line Caravelle Arcade. The darling pink monogram adds the perfect final touch. The best part is, these can be whipped up in a jiffy! Maybe surprise a dear friend, a favorite teacher, our invite your bestest friend over for tea and nibbley things on the back porch, and enjoy this glorious weather we are having.   Melissa was sweet enough to send me 4 of these, and I’m ever so grateful for the surprise. They really brightened up my weekend.

Quick projects that make a huge impact are one of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon. How about you? I love seeing what you’ve been up to. Don’t be shy. Share with me on Facebook or Instagram.

As you celebrate Memorial Day in your neck of the woods; whether its a small town parade, BBQ with friends and family, a relaxing day at the beach, maybe sewing something special with your favorite Sis Boom fabric, will you take a moment to think about our wonderful veterans? I love our vets and am so thankful for their service and sacrifice for our country.

Pillow Talk

Sew 4 Home made this delightful round piped pillow with a gathered top and I couldn’t be more in love. Comfortable, colorful and easy to make. The darling contrasting covered button and piping is icing on the cake!

Pillow

They used 2 fabrics from an oldie but goodie Sis Boom line called Happy Land. Since Happy Land can be hard to find these daysmay I recommend our newest line of fabric, Caravelle Arcade? It launched at the beginning of May and would be perfect for this project!

I’m thinking Jessica in blue paired with Bonnie in blue….

Hop on over to Sew 4 Home and give this project a whirl. I think a few these comfy pillows, tossed on your favorite sofa, with a copy of Happy Home would be a perfect way to spend a relaxing spring afternoon. What have you been making with Caravelle Arcade? I’d love to see them!

 

Sis Boom Room – Royal Edition

 

Royal baby
Welcome to the World Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge! We are so happy you are here!!! Our newest Sis Boom Room is worthy of a Princess or anyone who wants to feel like a royal. An airy white rattan chair brings the outside in, while celebratory drinks in honor of the princess can be served in cheerful bubble glasses resting on darling knitted coasters on this fabulous textured rattan tray. No British royal room is complete without the Union Jack, so we added it TWICE in pink and red on our very own Sis Boom rug and embroidered pillow. Simply smashing, darling! Finally set the mood with a fun candle from Mod Cloth and play your favorite tunes (may we suggest the Beatles?) on this vintage portable radio, mp3 device friendly of course. A lovely coffee table book on looking dapper on the golf course and an orange mod planter rounds out the room. Brilliant!
