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.

BACK WRAP JUMPERS

I WANTED EVERYONE TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO A BACK WRAP JUMPER INSTEAD OF SMOCKING. WE CAN MONOGRAM ON THE BACK WRAP JUMPERS AND THIS MAKES A GREAT SUMMER DRESS OR ADD A BLOUSE AND USE THIS JUMPER FOR OTHER SEASONS. THESE PRECIOUS GIRLS ARE MY GRANDDAUGHTERS AT THE BEACH ON OUR FAMILY TRIP. I WOULD LOVE TO PUBLISH ANY PHOTOS YOU MAY HAVE OF YOUR GARMENTS THAT WE HAVE MADE.

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.
