Last week on my birthday an extra special package arrived on my doorstep....



a box of goodies from Patty Young of ModKid Designs! Patty's new line of fabric, Flora & Fauna is set to debut in a couple of weeks at the Fall Quilt Market in Houston and she was looking for a but of help getting her samples ready for the show....so I was lucky enough to get to see this gorgeous fabric up close and make a new Frida for her booth!






These fabrics are simply gorgeous... wonderful prints and rich colors.... 44 new designs in all!

I'd love for you to post your favorite colorway and prints from her new collection.... give me some inspiration for prints to order for Betty's Closet on etsy

Flight of Fancy Collection

I have listed a new collection of skirts on etsy using a fabulous new line of fabric from Paula Prass of Michael Miller. I even have yardage available over at Betty's Closet on etsy if you want to try your hand at your own fun designs.

Andalucia

I have been selling handmade childrens clothing online for just about 3 years now. I got my start on ebay in a small group that had come together to help newcomers - or "newbies" such as myself, learn the rope of selling on ebay.

I learned SO much that first year, how to write HTML code to create "pretty" templates, what styles/elements sold well on ebay, how to capture a great photo of my designs and more....I also made my first online designer friends - or "imaginary" friends as we sometimes call each other!

Patty Young of Modkid fame was one of my first friends online. I have watched her grow from a wonderful clothing designer to an incredible fabric designer. The designers on ebay have come together to celebrate her successes and are featuring her new fabric line Andalucia for Michael Miller in our designs!

The end is in sight........

These pictures were taken in my living room on Saturday before I embarked on a crazy endeavor....cutting & shipping 46 bolts of fabric and 16 rolls of ribbon! My family was kind enough to let me take over while I finished the job....yesterday I managed to send out about 40 packages and today between making the stuffing and other turkey day dishes, I plan to finish up my task!

WHewwww.....

Farmers Market Collection.............Fall 2008 from gock's frocks







I am in love with Sandi Henderson's latest collection for Michael Miller. I have designed 8 skirts using her delicious fabrics...pair them with one of my custom applique tees and you will be set for back to school festivities!











find these goodies on ebay or etsy!

Oh Sew Busy...Take 2!

Yes...2 more listings up on ebay....

my final one for StudioR's Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree is a felted wool jacket that coordinates with Michael Miller's Holiday fabric...but also goes great with a pair of jeans!

The design has been needle felted on and I incorporated angelina fibers into the wool roving to give some added sparkle. The green trim is from my stash of vintage trims and is the lovliest shade of limey green!

Through the Woods

My second set that just listed this morning is a semi-custom felted wool skirt with hand appliqued wool polka dots..I just love how this came out!

Fall Frolic

Enjoy!
