Samba Sewing

There is a new dress in my shop:





It's from the amazing Lee&Pearl pattern "The Bahia Dress" and it was so much fun to make! The colors really suit Lea--I'm already looking forward to making more of this dress in more super bright color combos!

It's a Go-Go: Six New Dresses in My Etsy Shop!

Even though it is freezing cold (and sad and dreary) where I live, I've just listed six new summer dresses in my shop:








I decided to use up some of my fun summery retro prints, and since I just finished a halter/go-go dress custom order, I thought I may as well sew up a few more before stashing the pattern away. I also threw in a turtle dress for Lea, the 2016 GOTY.

I guess I really am wishing for summertime, because I have a whole stack of fun tropical--summery prints to sew up as Lea-inspired dresses coming up next . . .

Three New Dress and Shawl Sets . . . finally

After a long hiatus, there are new items in my shop! The last few months I was busy sewing five Viking costumes (six, if you include the mini Viking costume I made for Julie) for Halloween, some holiday skirts for real people, several Liberty Jane pattern experiments, and a set of Nativity costumes for the grandkids that I gave to my mom and dad on Christmas Eve--phew! While it was all super fun, I didn't have too much time to sew anything for my shop until now. But now my sewing room is organized and I have fun plans for this year.

But first, here are three dress and shawl sets:




I had a lot of fun making dress and shawl sets--and several requests for them--last year. So why not keep a good thing rolling, and let Josefina stay busy?

Up next is a big stack of warm, bright, and tropical--looking prints. Perfect for a girl with a heart for adventure . . . hint, hint ;-)
