Some fun little this and thats for you and your girl... block the bright lights and sleep in with the new sleep masks in pretty fabrics! Pull back your hair in a pretty, fun and sassy hair wrap after the pool or for gardening!

Works in process

This week I have been challenging myself and developing new patterns... tunics, pillowcase dresses/shirts, skirts and dresses. I am all about running around town with my little boy in tow so I want fun, sassy, comfy clothes I can feel pretty in whether I am gardening or running my little man up to hockey. These are a few I have developed... more to come with help from my new serger {I can't believe I used to sew without one!} This week is all about more fun aprons for Wild Sage! I will post the frilly fun aprons... also if you want to choose your own fabrics stop in Wild Sage in Delmar and fill out a Customer Order form and I would love to sew it up for you ; )! ciao for now.

vintage dress form...

I have been searching + hoping for a dress form for a while now to make fitting easier and to see how dresses and skirts fall. Dress forms are a little pricey so I decided to search for a used one. Not having high hope I stumbled upon a vintage Acme dress form, perfect + beautiful! Meet Lexi Flowers {my 4 year old son named her}...

OK so I need a "new" project/challenge something to try and better myself so I am taking the Wardrob Re• Fashion challenge!! http://wardroberefashion.net/ I am starting it right now but officially beginning the next round on July 1 {right now I am working on my skills and if necessary will purchase an item ie. bathing suit for summertime!}.

Antique Love! Home Sewn Bliss!!

Greetings from under a mound of fabric, notions and thread! I am thrilled to announce I just inherited a beautiful Neechi BU sewing machine from one of my {many} fabulous aunts!

Thank you Kim + Danielle I am so excited about the opportunity to sew with you and just "hang" in the store... cheers and so long for now

Meeting and Greeting at the Detailed Bridal Event

The past week was hectic!... but boy was it worth it! Sunday I attended the 2nd Annual Detailed Bridal Event at the Crowne Plaza in downtown Albany. The show was amazing, champagne, food samples {I mean the good stuff mini portions that looked fab!}, cake samples, reception ideas, hair, makeup and of course stationery! I met so many new faces. All of the coupleswere sweet to talk to, excited about being at the event and eager to plan their big day. Among some professional faces Stacy Jubert, www.thechildrensguide.com and April Rounds, www.detailsweddingplanning.com were extremely welcoming and should be proud they put on such a successful show! I also want to mention Katie O'Malley of Katie O Weddings & Events www.katieoevents.com, what a friendly face! Great time had by all! Thank you again Stacy + April!
