dresses: handmade by me, shoes: lotta from stockholm, tights: country road

Hello lovely friends. Happy Thursday! I hope you have had a productive and inspiring week. It can be so SO hard to get back into the swing of things after an extra long weekend. Never fear! The weekend is almost here again. 

I have been sewing. I made up the folky print version of the new style dress while I was grading the pattern, and I am happy to tell you that I think I have the fit spot on. I am always nervous when I am rolling out a new style. I have made a little bit of progress on my first orders, but I am working slowly as the details in this style demand my full attention, and you know my mind has been elsewhere of late...

Yesterday I finished of the sweet little kitty dress for a favourite customer of mine. I don't always love a children's novelty print, but this one in particular has stolen my heart. It is the perfect blush pink and the kitty has vibrant blue eyes and soft little details. It is kitsch perfection.

As you can see by the pictures I am getting pretty excited about migrating South to the cooler weather. I broke out the cardigans and stockings for the photos, but I had to rip them off as soon as we were finished because it is still so hot up here.

Thanks so much to Levi for taking a handful of pictures for me.  As much as we are going through a difficult time it's so nice to know that I can call on him to give me a hand when I need it. No nastiness here...

  1. I love all of your dresses!! Finally someone who makes dresses that I adore! Can you make them for shorties like me? I'm a smidgen under 5 feet (not sure of the conversion on that) and have to alter nearly every dress I buy. Spring is here and summer is around the corner, I think a new dress is in order :)
