We rave about rag quilts!

Check out this stunner from Jack and Mae!!!!  We woke up and just had to share..lots of tutorials on line just google rag quilts.  These make great gifts because they are not as labor intensive a good beginner quilt I should say.  My daughter made one at sewing camp when she was 12.  I love the mix of Bohemia and the exuberance of color.  Such a beauty. Sarah and Liz we love what you are up too keep it coming we want to see. They also make sweet tea wallets so you are never without your fave..very cool.

The Boy

Here it comes the best shirt pattern for boys ever just two weeks away!  We named the pattern  Ethan after this guy in the photo here.  Ethan is the son of Jenny from Sew Pretty Dresses who you all know so well!  You may recall Ethan’s sister, Kelsey is one of our all time favorite models and she loves everything Sis Boom. Here she is supporting her brother’s debut. We love Jenny and the love she brings to everything she does what can I say it just shows.  So the Ethan will be also available for men as the Marco and I know that you are all waiting for that as well.  Oh and this fabric from West Indies is perfect for these shirts it’s called  Luca and can be found at Cotton Blossom Farm , Ebay, Etsy, and Hawthorne Threads.

 

Vintage Child

What a great name for Cat Christiansen’s creations. A Vintage Child is her wonderful place on etsy of precious hand makings.  She does it so well.  Look at this stunning little girl with her Crazy Love Pinafore.  Love the combo and the sweet knots.  Cat we are so grateful for your wonderful touch and thanks for sharing with our blog readers. Everyone is so inspired by everyone else and we are so appreciative when someone puts a signature twist on their collection..Beautiful. Follow sweet Cat on facebook.

Tickles me!!

Zabtree Couture you have quite the eye.  OMG it takes a special vision to put these fabrics together in this ingenious way but I think the theorey is if you love it others will too.  I never would have put these together but omg I can’t stand it ,thrilled with the outcome and I know it is going to inspire others to really just may I say “CLASH”  if it feels right do it!!!  Sometimes a matchy matchy world can close us off from amazing options but friends of Sis Boom all know to do whatever their heart calls them to do!  We see it over and over with the folks highlighted on the blog.  We love your signature, we want to see what you are up to!!  These photos give permission for others to do the same.  I get in trouble because I’m not so matchy matchy but my heart flattens a bit when all the blues match, takes the fun out of creativity.  There is an energy that we don’t see other places when folks express themselves in this colorful way.  Zabtree you rock my casbah!! Theresa Abel Martin you go girl. Find her on facebook.

PS. take a look at the lining of the dress!

Starts Monday

Look at these beautiful bubble Rompers from Presley Grey a new boutique on FB.  FB lit up like a switchboard when she posted these beauties. She is the wonderful     Jennifer Radcliff Gouffon   that took this wonderful fabric design and used it’s proportions to perfection.   We are blown away by the outcome and are certain she will have no hard time selling these when the bell goes of Monday Morning.      These fabrics are around but being eaten up like mad so please make sure you hoard.  I don’t say that lightly in true Sis Boom obsession style we have friends bidding on a retired Sis Boom classics for upwards of $100.00 + per yard..not kidding  I won’t even post the fabric for fear they will come for me and my family!! :))  Seriously it gives me a big head but that’s about it.  It’s fun to be a legacy in my own mind.  Presley Grey we are so glad to know you and be a part of Monday’s launch..Gogettum!!!! Presley Grey website here. Serious beauty.  Fabrics found here.    and here.
