New Fabric


I just want to show you another new fabric from Fabric Finders. This green on green mini check is a 100% pima cotton. This is a good check for Boy garments. The number for this fabric is T-31.
Just an up-date on my lost box, the postal service is showing it was sorted in New Hampshire on Monday morning, no new update today. I will keep you posted on the travels this box is taking.
Hope you all have a great Tuesday.

New Smocking Plate

Good Monday Morning to each of you. I wanted you to see this new smocking design from Ellen McCarn, its called Christening Day and is suitable for a Yoke or Bishop. The Yoke design has 6 rows of smocking and the Bishop design has 6 rows but would need 7 rows of pleating since the design comes below the 6 th row. This is perfect for our Christening Gown and for the smaller sizes of the Lacy Bishop and I love how it is shown with Ecru smocking on the white dress. I love White and Ecru together on the Lacy Bishop and the Christening Gown. Thank You Ellen for this design, its like she designed these designs just for us. There are 3 designs shown on this plate so when you purchase is smocking plate you will be receiving 3 different designs.
I have been waiting for a Priority Mail box to arrive in Jasper Al. shipped from Birmingham Al. going to one of my seamstress so she could construct the garments. The travel time by car would be one hour but our Postal System has missorted the box and today it was processed through a facility in Nashua NH. This is the same government that wants to run our health care, so much said for that. I can only apologize but the delays this will cause to the ten garments in this box that I know my customers are waiting to receive. Now I will wait and see what part of the United States the box will go next. I am sorry to start your Monday off with my problems, and I know we are all human and make mistakes but really New Hampshire??????
I will let you all know when my box makes it back to Alabama.

Brings Back Memories


This little Yoke Dress brings back memories of my little girl and even photos of myself when I was young. The basic little plaid school dress, we all had one. Back in the old days we wore dresses to school everyday (no pants in the 50's). This Yoke Daydress is made with the Royal Stewart tartan, this plaid has all primary colors.
Hope you all have a Blessed weekend.

New Check


Red/Black with a Off White Background is how I would describe this small 100% Pima Cotton check from Fabric Finders. I picture this fabric being used for Boys Overalls and Yoke dresses for the fall and winter months. I have put this fabric up against White Broadcloth and Rice Broadcloth and it blends with both if you need a insert. I know the colors will be good for all my Georgia Fans. The number on this check is T-25.
Please check the shipping time on orders you place, due to the amount of garments to be constructed we are running a little longer. Please remember each item is cut and made to your order no cookie cutter production, each item is special.

Swing Top & Pants

Good Morning to all, this morning I wanted to show you this cute Swing Top & Pants that one of my customers just ordered. The pants are made with Purple Corduroy and the Top is made up in Grape 1/16th gingham with the collar to match the pants in purple corduroy. I really like this look and it will be great for the up-coming season. The Swing Top has the center front pleating and can be smocked really fast, so be thinking of this style for your little girls.

Ellen McCarns new design

I am so happy to see Ellen's new designs. This smocking design only has 5 rows which is perfect for the inserts in our Bubbles and Rompers that only have 5 rows of smocking. How nice to have a design which requires the amount of rows you have in your garment. The Bishop style on this plate will be great for our Daygowns, the 3rd design is perfect for sleeves. This plate will be on of those that you go to often when you are looking for a smocking design.
I hope all of you who live in the South are getting ready to board the Ark, Rain Rain please go away.

New Fabric


I really like this new check from Fabric Finders, the number is T-44. The colors in this 100% Pima Cotton will match Lime Corduroy & Lime Pique, Colbalt Pique, Periwinkle Corduroy and Royal Corduroy, Plus these shades in Broadcloth. This will be a good fabric for all seasons, if you use it for a lining or for the whole garment the colors are fun and brite. I will post more fabrics later.
I can not tell you how much I like Ellen McCarns new smocking Plates, I will see if I can post them to my site.

New Fabric

I attended Fabric Market this past Sunday and found this check T-22 that matches the Blue version T-20. The Blue T-20 has been such a good check to use in every style. Now we will offer both the Pink T-22 and the Blue T-20, I know the Pink will be as popular as the Blue has been. I can just see Brother/Sister outfits using these fabrics.
I also ordered Ellen McCarns new smocking plates, and I am so happy to see two of these new smocking designs are small designs which have 5 rows which will be perfect for our inserts used in the Yoke Bubbles and Rompers. You can view Ellens new designs on her web site.
I will be showing the other fabrics purchased at Market in the next few days. If you would like to have swatches of these new fabrics let me know.
