hello blog!
It has been so busy here that I have been neglecting my poor blog for some time! Hard at work, though, and as soon as I can breathe I have some great pictures to post of projects I have been working on both for myself and for the shop. Yay sewing!

Fall Update!
We are so excited to announce that we have found a great space for our warehouse, and will be spending the month of October filling it up with amazing fabric to sell to the world!

some stuff for me!
I have had a little time here and there to work on some new clothes, which is lovely. I'm trying to take pictures as I go along, but sometimes I just get too caught up in the making of it to stop & get the camera. So in love with the handkerchief linen and the chambray we just got in! The linen washes up so beautifully - I have pulled off enough of ( Read more... ) -
We are in a book!
I'm really exited! Sarah was looking through one of the books we got in yesterday and noticed that we are listed as a stitch lounge in one of them! I had no idea, and it's really thrilling. Plus, it's an awesome book!
