McKensie Dress Customer Creation

A customer emailed me this picture of the dress she made using the McKensie Pattern.  It's a great pattern to use up scraps.  It takes very little fabric and you can mix and match patterns and prints.  The added buttons are a great touch.

Check out my Etsy shop and facebook page for patterns and updates.

Football Season Approaching

My "adopted" grandchild is having her 3rd birthday party this weekend. I decided to make her something for the upcoming football season. I made the Riley top and Karen Capri Pants for her LSU outfit and McKensie dress for the Saints. I decided her little sister needed a matching LSU dress so I made one for her also.

The fleur di lis fabric is a new print by Fabric Finders in black & gold and purple & gold. The coordinating fabrics are also Fabric Finders.

McKensie Pattern Now Available

McKensie Pattern now available in my Etsy Store. McKensie is a quick project that allows you to be creative. Great for some embroidery on the bodice, pocket or band. For a simpler look, the pocket and/or band can be eliminated.

This pattern takes very little fabric so is great to clean out some of those small pieces in your stash.

Thanks to all the testers who helped with this pattern. Your comments and pictures were a great help.

New Pattern, McKensie, Preview

Here is a preview of my new pattern, McKensie. It's a simple dress but has lots of possiblities to be creative. Using different combinations of fabrics, trims and embroidery can change the look. It is an easy pattern that sews together quickly. You'll want to make several. Since it is a jumper style dress, it can be used for all seasons.

The pattern has been sent to the testers and I am hoping to have it available to purchase by the end of June.
I am very fortunate to have friends with precious little girl's that model for me. She enjoyed the photo shoot and was very cooperative. Isn't she adorable. You may recognize her from the cover of a couple of my other patterns.
