Few changes!

Hello, good morning to all! I have been so busy moviong and everything is complete chaos!! I never would have guessed how much stuff we have accumulated over the years!

As for Sew Frivolous, I will be back at the Columbus Farmers Market this Saturday (unfortunetly with very few new items) but back none the less! As for www.sewfrivolous.com I will be reopening probably on Monday! With that said, I will be making a couple of small changes. One of which will be hte twirl skirt lengths. I have had quite a few custom orders in the skirts I have noticed a pattern in the length of the skirts. Most custom sized skirts have been longer than what I have currently been making. So I'm going to revamp the sizing of these.

Currently here are the measurments I was using( from 1" below belly button, to the hemline of the skirt):

NB: 6.5"

3M: 7"

6M: 7.5"

9M: 8"

12M:8.5"

18M:9"

24M:9.5"

2T: 9.5"

3T: 10"

4T: 10.5"

5T: 11.5"

6: 12.5"

7: 13.5"

8: 14.5"

10: 16.5"

I'm thinking to add almost 2" in length to sizes 2T-6 and an additonal 1" to sizes 7-10. Honestly I really could use some feedback on these sizes, to make sure I'm not adding to much, or making them too short. If you have a "lil one and could measure them and get back to me, there age and length I'd really aprreciate it!!

Also, I'm loving this new pattern, such a pretty fun simple pattern!! Tell me what you think!!

New fabrics!

Today I celebrate my 2 year anniversary on Etsy!! I have all my wonderful customers to thank for sucha successful 2 years! I am offering a spcial for today only! Check out my facebook page for coupon code. www.facebook.com/sewfrivolous

Here are some new fabrics I couldn't resist yesterday, very limited amounts, place your custom order soon!! The pink and green with the dark chocolate flowers would make for great big sis lil sis dresses!! I can't wait to make some for the twins, if I ever get caught up..lol

And so on...

Ok, that last post was a draft when I saved it and went to back to finish it it posted instead of letting me edit it. I warned you I'm a computer idiot. So anyway, after discovering my mistake I got frustrated and shut the conputer off...I also have a short fuse!

So now I'm back to finish the post, early morning with coffee in hand...house is quiet...well almost my Emma is the only other one up in the house and and she is watching My Ghost Story 10 feet away. Yes Emma is only 8, she is addicted to all things ghostly, stories, scary movies, she actually wants a "ghost kit" for her upcoming birthday which she informed me I can order online from bio.com lol....that's our Emma she is a character! She gets it from my brother who is a huge scary movie buff..he even watches the B movies...he loves it and has passed it on to Emma. I know, I know, not age appropriate, but I assure you she is fine and they do not scare her..lol

Anyway, that was random, but caffiene does that to me. I just wanted to add a few pics of some of the new dresses I have listed in the shop. I need to come up with some new designs, but the classics are working for me now:)

Also, I wanted to mention, if anyone has been in my shop over the past week you may notice my designer fabric items went up a touch. Let me explain, a local shop has just opened up in town, www.treecitystitches.com and they carry designer fabrics. I love that I can help support a local business. They are higher than where I usually buy my fabric by about $2 a yard. They don't yet carry all my fav designers (they do carry Kaufman!)but asked who my favs were and are going to look into carrying those designers as well. So I have decided to split the difference with my customers. (Also, no more waiting for the shipment to come in when I run out I can just go three blocks and get some more) They have said they hope to start a customer appreciation program of sorts soon. I just hope its real soon:) I'm also listing these items on sale for the first week of the listing which makes it cheaper for my loyal blog and facebook customers to get the dresses at a good discount!!

Love you all!! Tracee

Summer is almost here!

We have finally had some decent weather here in Indiana! My girls have been able to wear a few of their new dresses! Unfortunetly they are grwoing up so quickly! Not sure how much longer I will get to dictate what they wear. I have pretty much already lost my older two they pick their own clothes, who will I get to model for me? lol... I"m sure I will find someone:)

I have recently purchased the right to make ruffled socks. They are really cute, I don't have them listed yet, gotta test them out and make sure they hold up, but keep your eyes out! Soon!

Designer fabrics!

These fabrics are beautiful! Yes the blue one I have had before, but I just love it!! had to get more!! Limited amounts available, so if you like it let me know!!

Where have I been?

I have been doing so much!! So much to do, so little time!! I have started volunteering at my local animal shelter which wipes out my entire Tuesday. (I'm only there for 6 hours, but I'm exhausted when I leave! I also got to foster a liter of 6 week old lab pups last week! What fun, the girls giggled non-stop! Hope to get the chance to do that again!

Also, I have signed myself up to do a Farmers Market in nearby Columbus Indiana and have been busy trying to finalize all my paper work for that and the meetings:)

I have made myself legal, gotten my Fed ID # as well, as my State tax #. Not to mention, the unbelieveable amount of paperwork now involved in everything I do!!

And last but not least, I have been trying to organize a Facebook page for Sew Frivolous Not very easy considering I'm pretty computer illiterate!
