Happy 4th of July

I can not believe that it is July 1st already I hope everyone is having a good Summer and praying for all to have a safe and fun 4th of July.
It is not to early to start thinking of Fall and the Holidays. I know it is very hot outside but we all know the cooler air will be here before we have time to think about it. So lets all start looking ahead to the smocking we need to have finished in time for those school pictures and holidays that are just around the corner. Fall Football games will also need those school colors with smocking designs for your favorite school teams.
So enjoy this Holiday weekend and keep cool and safe.

SUMMER TIME

Good Morning, The heat is on big time in Alabama. Summer is Here!!
Just wanted to pass on this Photo for all to see of these two precious girls and their Angel Sleeve Bishop dresses smocked by their sweet Grandmother Judy Bryant. Angel Sleeves are so perfect for the summer days and nights. So keep cool and keep smocking.

Rain Rain Go Away

My question today is when will the rain go away? What happened to the April Showers bring May Flowers? All this rain means we can spend more time indoors smocking. The garment I am showing today is the popular Yoke Bubble, this comes in a boy style and a girl style in sizes 6 mos., 12 mos., 18 mos., and size 2. The boy style has cuffed sleeves and the girls have a elastic sleeve. With only 5 rows of smocking these Bubbles can be smocked in a few days or maybe a few hours. Bubbles are perfect Baby gifts for when you want that special gift. Most customers put a white insert for smocking but we can make the insert the same color as the garment. With white inserts we will make the collar white to match with piping to match the garment color. Just let me know how you want your Bubble to look and we will make this garment accordingly.

May Day

Today I would like to share with you one of our Daygown styles. This sacque comes in three sizes, newborn, 3 mos & 6 mos. The Sacque offers long sleeves but you can request for the sleeves to be short. The sleeves are finished with elastic and a ruffle. You will have 5 pleated rows in the center front with 2 rows over the sleeves and back. This gown comes with a draw ribbon at the hem. Daygowns are offered in all batiste fabrics. This sacque is just one of the 3 Daygowns we offer. Perfect for the new baby, great for Baby Shower gifts.

I hope everyone has a May filled with many May flowers and happiness.

What has happened to Spring?

MY QUESTION IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO SPRING? SNOW FLAKES IN APRIL, THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT. SOME PEOPLE TELL ME THIS IS BLACKBERRY WINTER, BUT WHATEVER IT IS I AM READY FOR WARM WEATHER.

THE BACK WRAP JUMPER THAT I AM SHOWING TODAY IS MADE WITH RIPPLESPUN SEERSUCKER PLAID. LIME GREEN, HOT PINK AND TURQUOISE COLORS GIVE YOU VARIOUS CHOICES WHEN PICKING OUT SMOCKING PATTERNS AND THREAD. I SEE FROGS AND FLOWERS SMOCKED ON THIS WHITE INSERT USING THE COLORS IN THE PLAID FOR MY SMOCKING. I AM SURE EACH OF YOU SEE OTHER CUTE SMOCKING DESIGNS THAT WOULD LOOK GREAT FOR SPRING AND SUMMER. SINCE THIS FABRIC IS A SEERSUCKER YOU WOULD HAVE TO USE A INSERT, YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SMOCK ON THIS FABRIC.

I HOPE EACH OF YOU HAVE A BLESSED HOLY WEEK .

Will Spring ever arrive?

My question is will Spring ever arrive? More storms today and then another cold front changing the weather again next week to colder temps. But even when the weather is unpredictable we can still do our Summer smocking designs. The fabric shown is Fabric Finders #S42 Seersucker. These colors are perfect for all the Watermelon smocking plates. The pink and green are just the right colors, you will need a white insert for the melons and I have only seen it made up in a Back Wrap Jumper so far. So lets get smocking for all those cute Summer time garments.
