{Shop Update}

Yayee! Blogger is back up! That was irritating, but it made me realize two important things…that I rely too much on technology and that I really need to vacuum my house.

I closed my shop a few weeks back because I had a big show and wanted to work on some fun new things! Well, I am happy to say, it’s reopened and full of pretty handmade goodness!

Here are some new things you’ll find!

Wristlet Clutches and Zipper Pouches in a new Ruffles and Canvas style!

 

{loving the gray houndstooth}

New Yo-Yo Covered Button Headbands!

{this one is made from a vintage flour sack}

{how fun is the giant button!}

A whole new line of coffee cuffs in fun new fabrics and trims!

{denim and lace}

{burlap and lace}

{linen and lace}

{canvas and vintage flour sack ruffle!}

And my new FAVORITE item is…

The Braided Necklace

{teal and lace}

{daffodil yellow with gray satin ribbon}

I hope you’ll stop over and take a peak at all the new pretties at Sew Chatty! I’d love to know what you think!

Happy Friday friends!

Spring Top Week @Made By Rae

Hi there! It’s Spring Top Week over at Made By Rae and since I’ve had the fabric cut for this top for SO long…I thought I’d enter to give me a little motivation to finish it!

Remember last year when Target had that AWESOME Liberty of London line? Well, I scored a few peices, one of which was a dress in the little girls department which I wore for Easter last year {yes I am short enough to fit in little girls clothes}. Sadly, I can’t find a pic of me in the dress…bust.

I got several wears out of it and LOVE the fabric, bit I thought I would wear it more if it was a top. This is the print…fun right?

and this is the pattern I used to make it a super cute spring top!

 

New Look #6895, view A. I have made this top before and I really love it. Such a nice fit. Very flattering and relatively simple to put together.

Here is my finished top!

    

I still need a photo of me in it before I can officially enter the pool…better go get cleaned up so I can wear my new top today! Wish me luck!

Have a happy day!

Elizabeth
