Photo Edited Dresses?

I think I may start using photo editing techniques for my Etsy photos just for fun...

Here is new style (3/4 elastic sleeves) and fabric...

E&E

Ella
Found a full bottle of cinnamon and did this while I was feeding Everett (yes, I gave in and bought her Tinkerbelle pjs)...
Her reasoning? She wanted "cinnamon on her banana" for breakfast. By the way, when I caught her, she was still scooping up handfuls of cinnamon off the table and putting it on her fully cinnamon-covered banana.

This was before she found a tube of vaseline (which she thought was sunscreen) and rubbed it all over her cheeks so that her "cheeks don't get burned" (direct quote). I can't get mad at her because I can't stop laughing!

Everett
Recently found his feet and is always grabbing them.  Learned how to roll over both ways...and over and over and over and over...which means he is now sleeping on his stomach.

Had his first Tiny Tots playgroup today (of which I am the organizer), but it turned out to be mostly older kids (13 months to 2.5 years) so once again, Ella will be making even MORE friends and Everett will still have only two!  At least I tried. ;)

Sewing
I made a dress in one of the new fabrics and a new crayon clutch...

SALE!!!!!

In case you haven't heard, I'm selling out most of my hair clips and headbands so there is a coupon code for 20% off all hair clips and headbands!!  Once an item sells out, it's gone forever so stock up now!

FLOWER20

I'm going to be doing a coupon code for dresses in the near future. :)

Yes, There are More...

MH- I hope you love the birdies!  :)

More Crayon Clutches

I think I am going to start selling the crayon clutch so I made a few boy patterns.  I'm going to offer them in any of my dress or diaper clutch fabrics!  I'm thinking $17 for one or $32 for two (because of course you need one for each child!) including 10 crayons and one 4 x 6 notepad.  Additional notepads will be sold for $1.50 each.  I will list them tomorrow or Monday.

I also made a bunch of bows (on alligator clips) for Ella.  I think I may also sell these for $4.00 each or two for $7.00.  We'll see.  The navy striped one is my favorite, mostly because I'm obsessed with all things navy.

Crayon Clutch...New Item?

I made this for Ella because she is forever asking to draw at random times...like in the middle of Target, so I needed something very compact (but of course cute too!) to throw in my bag.  I'm thinking of listing them in my Etsy store.

This is just to show how thin it is!

Here is the prototype...I had to adjust my pattern to make it shorter and move the notepad holder part to the other side...

New Fabrics!

I just purchased some adorable new fabrics!  I can't wait to start sewing.  I'm thinking they will look so cute in this style (or really any of the styles!)...

I like this one alone...

Or with this as a contrast...

This one alone...

This one alone...

And then these three alone or mix and match...


If anyone wants to pre-order before I list them on etsy, let me know!

Ella Hates the Pool

Our friends had a pool party/bbq this weekend, and despite the fact that all her friends were having a great time splashing around in the baby pool, Ella wanted none of it.  What the heck happened since last summer when she loved the pool?!  Looks like we have some unpleasant pool visits in our future.

I made a pattern for a baby maxi dress...they are so trendy for summer, why shouldn't the babes have one too? ;)  This is the prototype so it may vary slightly when I make it for good (for example, I'm going to move the straps in more), but I think it's pretty cute!

A New Design...the ROMPER/JUMPSUIT!

I have become obsessed with little rompers for Ella so I created a pattern (I've only done the 18-24 month size so far, but I'm going to do 6-12 months to 2 or 3T). I think it turned out so cute!



I made one more dress in an adorable fabric that I only had a bit of so if anyone is interested in this dress before I list it, I only have 2, and there won't be anymore...sizes 12-18 months and 18-24 months.  I've also decided (I think!) to place the labels on the back of the dresses as shown in the 2nd photo.  I tried it on the bottom front corner, and it didn't look right on some of the dresses.
