Pattern Testing

I had the opportunity to test a pattern this past week. I'll share more information at a later time, but wanted to share some pictures of my daughter modeling it!!

Zebra Capris and Raggie Bow

This is going to be quick since I'm in the middle of working on a bunch of custom orders, but it's been a while since I posted, so I I wanted to do a short one.

I've been wanting to get a pair of zebra and pink capris made for my daughter so I can get some pictures and add them to my shop. Yesterday, while working on some orders for zebra and pink pillowcase dresses I also cut out a pair capris to throw together for my daughter. While I talked to my Mom I also played around with some raggie fabric bows to match the zebra and pink outfits I have in the my shop.

Pattern Testing

Sunday morning I finished up an order of matching lounge sets for two little boys. I love how these turned out and hope my customer is happy with the end result!! I have some of the dinosaur fabric left, plus several other dinosaur fabrics in my stash, so I'll be adding this as a custom order option to my Etsy shop as soon as I have the time.

I then spent Sunday afternoon and Monday testing two patterns for The Handmade Dress. I love all of Samantha's patterns and have been lucky to test several of them. This time around she had two patterns ready to test, Miss Olivia Paige dress and Miss Claire skirt. I tested the patterns in size 3 and 7. I love how they turned out.

I LOVE this fabric and had to go back to get some to make a skirt for myself!!

Too much to do and not enough time...

After having a REALLY bad craft show I decided to give facebook a try in an attempt to get more business. Well, it worked!!! I've gotten several order by setting up my business on facebook and adding a bunch of new items to my Etsy site. This week I need to do the following....

1. Several custom order I would like to get done by the beginning of next week
2. Testing two patterns (one skirt and one dress/top)
3. Sew several birthday presents (one is about 1 1/2 months late!!)
4. More sample outfits to make for my Etsy shop
5. Two hooded towels to make for my niece and nephew at my Mom's request (before Saturday)
6. A pair of pants to hem for my friend (sometime next week)
7. More ready to ship items to add to my Etsy shop
8. Continue to update my website

And the list goes on. It seemed like a lot in my head, but now that I've typed it out it seems like even more!! Busy, busy week!!! I'm loving all these new orders, but it is definitely keeping my busy!!
