Time flies...

Wow time has just been flying past! It's been quite exciting really, I've started supplying my first real life shop - The Gift Box, which has just opened in Warkton (near Kettering), Northamptonshire. It's in a lovely village and I was lucky enough to meet one of the owners when I had a stall at her craft market in Warkton and thankfully she asked me to sell my little dresses, so honoured!

So here are a few photos of my little dresses in the converted stable block that is now The Gift Box, I love that my customers can pop by have a cup of tea and see my little dresses in the flesh - so special!

I was also lucky enough to be asked to have my patterns featured at Word Play House, this is an amazing blog run by a New York Times bestselling author and illustrator - how she gets the time for it all I don't know but her crafty tips for children are amazing.  This is a link to the feature and this is where you can buy my Easy Peasant Dress pattern.

I've also added one more pattern to my shop recently for a beautiful patchwork skirt.

Lastly I'm quite excited about my newest little addition to the Bobbins team (which is arriving tomorrow) - an overlocker (aka serger)! I think it will make an amazing addition to HQ, I just hope my sewing machine doesn't get too jealous!

Feeling the Chevron Love...!

I think I've gone a bit mad for chevrons this week, I am totally head over heels for them - I've decided to make a few special chevron designs as "made to order" garments and stuck them in the shop. They're just so sophisticated and pretty.

This is the Chevron Circe Skirt which is £24 plus p&p and so twiry!



And this is the Chevron Bohemian Belle (with optiona low slung waistline) for £23 plus p&p

Last up is a pretty and classic Chevron Skirt for £15 plus p&p

In other news, I've sent off over 20 items to the new shop I'm suppying - it was quite exciting getting the dresses all packed up and even more exciting when I had a message come through from the shop owners saying they almost "welled up" opening the parcel! I'm really excited about supplying my first shop and think it will be so nice for customers to be able to see what they're buying - I get so many emails saying that photos don't do the dresses justice.  More news on the shop coming soon!
