Vintage Baby Bibs
I used to make these a long time ago. I changed the pattern a bit using vintage buttons to close rather then ties.

Good News!
Well, we are going to call it Little Bean. This has been a dream of mine since I moved here to Dallas. I will post the progress of the shop. Little Bean will be filled with all my creations as well as designers I love and have worked with at Small Magazine.

Small Renewal
I spent the last few days working on a very cool project for a Small Magazine shoot. I turned a few women's dresses & sweaters from Goodwill, along with some vintage fabric scraps, into six dresses for a 7 year old. Now I am packing them up and shipping them to the photographer in Canada. I can't wait to see them photographed!

Summer Frocks
I am sewing a few Summer frocks for my Etsy Shop today and I find these prints and silhouette's very inspiring. These illustrations look so much like my vintage fabrics.

Cigarette Silks
Around the turn of the century smoking became quite popular with woman and the cigarette companies, who usually inserted sports figure trading cards in the package of cigarettes for men, started inserting small silk pictures. Woman started collecting these "silkies" and some companies even included instructions for making household items. Just like feedsacks! The silks were even used for quilts.Photographs from Dating Fabrics-A Color Guide by Eileen Jahnke Trestain
More info about the silks here.
