Karen Capri Top and Betsey/Joey Shorts

I'm so blessed to have such precious little girls to use for models. Besides being my model , this little one is like family. Love her!

She is wearing the Karen Capri Set and Betsey/Joey Reversible Shorts. The fabric is from Ikea.

Customer Creations - Betsey/Joey Shorts and McKensie Dress

Here are a couple of pictures I got today from a customer using the Betsey/Joey Shorts Pattern and McKensie Dress Pattern.

The coordinating applique is a nice touch to make the outfit complete.

This dress is a great canvas for embroidery as you can see. Love the ladybugs.

Photo Shoot at the Beach

I spent the weekend at the beach and had the opportunity to take some pictures of a friend in a couple of outfits from my patterns. She was an awesome model, posing like a professional.

Not one of my patterns but too cute!!

Customer Creation to Help a Friend

This customer made these outfits for a friend who's house was demolished in a tornado last week. Fortunately they were in the cellar and unharmed. Her friend wanted camo outfits for her husband's Army basic graduation.

J, is a very busy miltary wife also but made the time to bless her friend with these.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by the recent tornados and flooding.

More Shorts

All Brands has some new boy fabric so I made a couple of pairs of Betsey/Joey Shorts to display in the Baton Rouge store. One is reversible and one is non reversible. I used the longer length version of the pattern for both.

This jpic shows the reversed side. The longer version works the best if a cuff is desired.

The past week I've also made a couple of drafts for new patterns. The first design didn't work out like I wanted but the second design has some promise. My desire is to make a dress that is simple but also able to give the sewer a chance to be creative with trims, fabrics and embroidery.

Sewing Projects

Made these for a friend's little girl's first birthday. The applique is a free font from sewforum.com. The shorts and applique are out of Fabric Finders pique fabric.


I've made a couple of items out of this adorable Riley Blake fabric from the Rainy Days and Mondays collection.

Betsey/Joey Shorts Customer Creation

Just got this pic from a customer. She used the Betsey/Joey shorts pattern and added the cute turtle applique to complete the outfit. She sells this short set along with other handmade items in her Etsy shop called Hailey Bugs Closet.

Betsey/Joey Shorts Pattern

This little girl's mom sent me this cute picture of her daughter in her "horsey" outfit using the Betsey/Joey Shorts Pattern with added length. The horse's tail has a bow and strands of thread for the tail.


Thanks MW for sending me this picture. A great outfit for a precious little one.
