Nostalgia

That’s what Circa gives us!! It’s a Glance at the past but not a stare. We love to borrow from the past but we love to fussy it up with all your favorite colors.  There is something you relate to something you can’t quite put your finger on..that would be the sentiment from an era gone by!  Hickity Pickity , along time friend of Sis Boom has embraced the sensibility of Circa and as always spins her own style amongst the folds.  We love her creations and we hope they inspire you. Get to know Judy Buchanan on facebook because she sells her wares and if you don’t sew this is your chance to get lovely affordable clothes made from Sis Boom Fabrics. Thanks Judy and of course the lovely Georgia who takes the beautiful pics!!

Tulle and glitter ribbon

One of the favorite projects of Girls World is this amazing tulle layover apron on your child’s favorite dress.  You all have had such fun with this and you keep us in awe of your concepts. This is literally fuel for your passions, I see so many applications for this wonderful jewel of an idea.  I just love looking at it!!  Take the ribbon up higher make ribbon bows or flowers!! We are loving you today and everyday.  You are like a cup of coffee to savor. xo

 

See Jennifer at the Country Living Fair!

 

Ya’ll are about to get the show of a lifetime.. at the Country Living Fair! On Friday June 7th (4PM) Jennifer will be all up on the Main Stage doin’ her thing, demo-ing mod podged suitcases, crafty fabric bouquets, and sharing Sis Boom tips and tricks! You’ve gotta be there! After her appearance on the Main Stage, Jennifer will be at the Earth Angels tent signing her books, Girl’s World and Happy Home.

What I’m talking about.

It’s a new world, it’s a new day and we are blessed to be part of these new emerging times.  Check out Judy Buchanan shedding light on the wonderful Jane in Superfly. Remember, Judy is your source for purchasing items if you don’t sew. Shop her adorable and wonderful selection HERE on ETSY, or contact her directly here.

Loving these bold prints juxtaposed with this Shabby Chic Interior.  We get to choose. How lovely is that?  There used to be so many rules. My mom reminds me of them all the time- mostly that everything from one era stayed in that era and that you didn’t mix. Now it’s so much more eclectic and we define our own style in making choices.  In my mind, there is a fresh breath in Judy’s take on the world and it is shown over and over on our facebook page.  She has style.

I hope you will join us on facebook— join the conversation, because everyone there wants to meet you and we are all saving a place for you.  If you love what we do here just stop in and meet like-minded friends.

So, here are some portraits from Georgia Handy’s latest photo shoot. (See more Georgia Handy HERE).  The brilliance of this combo below can’t be denied.  Your photographer and his interpretation is everything- that’s why I so love Mr. Tim Geaney who photographed both of our books, Girls World and Happy Home.  Purchase them for less than $35.00 on Amazon! (Now, that’s unheard of!).

BFF’s in Happy Land

Thanks to our friend Jenny over at Sew Pretty Dresses, we get to admire these sweet BFFs wearing some fabulous Sis Boom Dresses in Happy Land! We’ve got one sweet girl in a Marissa dress, and our other sweet girl donning the Mary’s Fancy Sash dress from Girl’s World! Jenny– you never cease to amaze!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Pretty in Pink

Laine rocked the Mary Fancy Sash Dress in our Girls World Book!!  She’s 14 and it fits her beautifully!!  I love the pink!! or should I say Candice in red!  This is one to hoard. I hate when I say that sounds like I’m trying to get you to buy but that’s not it.  Everyday I get inquiries on older lines that are off the shelves and it breaks my heart when I can’t help you find something.  If you love a fabric try to  really put some away I know folks that wait a year or two and then sell on ebay because they know the demand will be there.  If it’s something you really really love get it while it’s hot.  nuf said.  Remember Girls World is our first book and this lovely dress can be found inside and the book includes the pattern.  Makes a great Holiday Gift.  Only 14 on Amazon as of right now!   The value is terrific if you had to purchase all the patterns individually it would be a $60.00 book!!  Thanks Laine for making our photoshoot complete and for mom and dad to trust us with her!!

Hancock’s of Paduchah has the fabric in Pink.
