Perfect Pettiskirts

It's spring time again, the perfect time to pull out those fabulous pettiskirts in all of those luscious colors! I myself have been so busy making them for others, that I have neglected my very own little princess, so I decided to sit down and start one just for her. It will be fuchsia with brown trim and I can't wait to get it done since I have not had the opportunity to make this color combination yet! I was finally able to convince my chiffon source to start stocking chocolate brown chiffon (well, maybe it wasn't all me- but I like to think so after the numerous phone calls and emails I sent them asking the "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stock brown, it's the most requested color!") So when they finally go it in stock- I immediately ordered 50 yards and I can't wait to dig into it!

I have also recently written my own eBook/tutorial titled "Make Your Own Boutique Pettiskirt", and it is now for sale on my website. You can find it here: Pettiskirt Tutorial It contains over 30 full color photos and step by step instructions that are easy to follow! I will also answer questions you might have via email once your purchase the tutorial! I decided to do this because I was getting A LOT of emails every week asking me questions about making a pettiskirt, and although I am always happy to help out my fellow moms, sewers, and creative minds, I was spending a lot time answering these emails and it was starting to take away from my studio time! With a little convincing from my husband, who kindly reminded me of how much time I've spent perfecting my method of making my pettiskirts and how much time I've spent posting the "gist of it" in several sewing forums plus the countless email questions I have answered regarding the subject, I decided to sit down a write the tutorial, and 4 weeks and several dozen revisions- I'm finally finished! It was a labor of love, and I hope anyone who purchases it will find it easy to follow and fun to use!


That's all for now- Happy Spring!

My Latest Endeavor

So I decided I wanted to try my hand (and sewing skills) at making one of those amazing "Pettiskirts" that are so popular now. Well, it took me a while to work out all the kinks in the online tutorial I was following, but after reworking the measurements I was able to finish the skirt in about 6 hours. I decided that these fun, funky and totally fluffy skirts would be a great item to sell on my site, since they seem to be "all the rage" these days. It's seems like everyone is trying to get their hands on these great little bundles of twirling pleasure. I know I'm not a big name designer, but hey, everyone has to start somewhere, right? Each skirt will be painstakingly sewn by me in my home studio with the hopes that people will appreciate a quality hand-made item custom made especially for their little princess! Hope you like it...
