Just little light bicycle sewing

Just little light bicycle sewing

Still coming up with ideas for the thought of having a space in a local vintage market and enjoying the process of sewing and making a few accessories to sell. Yesterday made three little dresses and will post the third one when I take a photo.

Wonder what we did before digital cameras, instant posts and life in the fast lane. Does anyone even remember a telephone booth, or a party line or home economics in high school? So much has changed and so little has changed in the same time.

Texting has taken the place of talking and the place of typing…

Little girls rare still little girls and love fun dresses to make them smile. BTW I had to make a couple more dresses for the girls, so they could wash the ones I made for them. Too Cute!

Mannequin needs a name.

Leah's Dress on MannequinYesterday my first mannequin arrived and I have decided it needs a name.  I would name it after my granddaughters, but they are going to quickly outgrow the mannequins.  Sure makes it more fun to photograph the dresses.

 

I have been asked to join a local Vintage Market with some of my original sailor dresses, so will be busy the next week or so sewing nautical dresses.

 

My blog seems to be transforming from artwork (oil painting) to designing children’s clothing.  I love the design process and love the joy making dresses for adorable little girls and plan to add some boy toddler clothes in the future.

 

Enjoy!

IMG_6101 IMG_6004This last Friday my next door neighbor’s granddaughter beautifully modeled two of my recent dress designs.  The top one shown here has a Paris theme with a beret made to wear with the dress.  Hadley gave out white carnations to all the women attending the  Mother’s Day luncheon.  The dress features a T-shirt top with a Paris appliqué taken from the fabric.

 

The second dress is a class sailor dress with a fun hat to match.  Both dresses are available to buy.  This is new to me, so I working on pricing.  Would love input.
