Apple for the Teacher

We have just enough fabric to make two more of our back to school sets.

One in the lime colorway and one in the chocolate.

A cheery cherry sundress

Amy dreamt up this darling dress for her almost 1st grader.



It's the perfect amount of embroidery for the older girl.

Not over-the-top-cute...just the right amount of sweetness.



It was also the perfect time for me to sit down and show Amy how to embroider.

I think she's hooked! And so is her daughter, but that's for a later post. ;)



We loved mixing and matching these different prints to give it a classic cherry pickin' vibe.

I love that the red accents don't overwhelm the dress. There is just enough!



This easy halter style would layer well over our {go with everything} blouse.



She even carried the sweet french knots to the end of the ties.

No detail was missed!



And while we were at it, I snapped some photos of 'Lil Miss and Big Brother.

Love those matching dimples!

Custom Dress {Vintage Circus}

We've never actually had a design your own oufit, custom listing in the shop. I guess it's because we've always had enough new business to keep us as busy as we'd like to be (sometimes even more than that). I just finished up this sweet dress for a vintage circus birthday and love it.



We were so lucky to find one of what must be only 5 yards left of this fabric in all of the internets. And Moda's Hullabaloo was the perfect compliment to it. Kudos to Amy for sleuthing that one out.



The buttons are a dark steel gray/blue and are just lovely in person (not as dark as they seem in the shade here).

We won't be able to make any more design-your-own customs this summer, but our goal in the fall is to put up a listing in the shop for just that.

Hope you all have a sunny week-end!

New for summer! {embroidered apron dress}

Oh dear, are you in for a treat!

This is our second favorite dress...EVER!
Seriously, only Raggedy Ann can beat this little beauty.

See for yourself...



White eyelet...our new favorite embellishment.

*swoon*



A great big thank you to our dear friend, Jessica, for asking us to
design a dress around the vintage ribbon she found.



And wouldn't ya know, she pairs perfectly with
our red and white striped knit ruffles too. ;)

A warm, sunny day, perfect for outdoor photos.



To show off Amy's beautiful handiwork. This girl rocks the knit ruffles.



Look at those gorgeous stripes all lined up,
and the perfect coverstitching at the waistband and ruffle hem.



Available in full or capri length.
