I have been working on new product ideas for my little business and
have polled some of my mom friends - those that like handmade items
and/or shop craft fairs and Etsy. I've come up with some ideas that
will actually allow me to NOT purchase too much in additional fabrics
(they are all scrap-based, or I can use up some of the fabric that I
have stashed in bins....either under apparel fabrics or quilting
fabrics). That's my first yippie moment in a long time...lol
On the actual sewing front, I've made a simple little a-line dress for
my daughter out of a bright floral print - large Gerbera daisies on a
block background...both flowers and blocks in almost neon shades of
blue, orange, yellow, green, and pink. I thought it would be too much
for such a tiny girl, but she looked adorable in it and got
compliments when she wore it to church. I'm in a holding pattern on
my patchwork jacket - have to actually cut the lining pieces and get
them together, but the main body is finished. I guess I just got
tired of working around the different thicknesses of trims. Hopefully
I will get back on track with that next week.
The next projects have been decided: Power Puff Girl pajamas for my
daughter, Apple print apron for the county fair (with a matching one
for a child to be made later....this is one of the new product lines),
new dress for myself.....after these, I don't know what I will work on
next.
So....other then the spammers and trashy people, is anyone else
actually reading this group???

Claire, may I be first in line for your extra day after you
are done with it? I've been searching for one for years!
