finally catching up

This is the last of the pieces I brought down to DC but never got around to posting.

I’ve been taking a break from my studio this week. I am calling it a stay-cation but I am ending up doing work anyway- etsy listings mostly. I’m planning on being back at the sewing machine next week so see you then!

West Elm News!

WooHoo! Remember this? Me working on prototypes for ornaments for West Elm? Well, they are now available online! I am SO excited! I haven’t seen them in person yet but they look very close to my originals-

Their version- girl, boy. Theirs are machine stitched but they are really close and certainly retain the look- I am completely thrilled! There is also a moose, a bear and a racoon.

 

Fox Flower girl

I know we are inching toward Autumn and this week has certainly felt like it, but this little one is all about summer.

We are not ready to let go yet!

Her felt flower headband is sewed to elastic. Her dress is made from the re-release of Heather Ross‘s Far, Far, Away line which I absolutely love, love, love!!! (you will be seeing more fox girls in dresses from that fabric- I bought a bunch!)

When I reworked the pattern, I made curvy, curvier and curviest. These are curviest.

I am very happy with my new curvier and curviest. Curvy, not so much so you haven’t seen a finished one yet. Two out of three isn’t bad though and after my show next weekend I will get back to work on the design.
