online promotion


I am in the midst of updating all things online. A new facebook page, updating Etsy and Madeit and Dwanda, oh to have someone help me (or actually just do it for me so I can spend more time sewing!!!). The problem is it is so time consuming for me as I am not all that tech savvy - never mind I will continue.....
Anyway as my facebook group is new so I wanted to have a promotion to celebrate. I was thinking, win a voucher and everyone who 'likes' can get free shipping. How's that?
I dress I made for my little girl. It is really a size 2 and she is only 1 - but good for next season.
The fabric is liberty of london and designed by Lauren Childs, the creator of Charlie and Lola.
I have decided not to add to online stores as I would have to go and buy more fabric to fill any orders.

Patch Pictures

My Mum gave me a book called 'Patch Pictures' last time I was at hers. So I have tried some. I am not overly happy with the shape of this t-shirt though, I think I will just do them the classic style with set in sleeves. Boys tops and jeans for this autumn/winter...stay tuned!

selling - a necessary evil


Why can't people just magically know about what to buy and therefore we wouldn't need advertising? But without that there would be no Mad Men I guess, and I love that show - even if it is just to see what Joan and Betsy are wearing.
Anyway, here is my latest dress, I just love this print and it goes well with the red denim I think.
