$5 Friday ~ Poppy Maxi Dress

Today I start a new marketing plan!
Away with the percent off sales.

It is just too hard to keep up with.

And who doesn't love a $5 pattern?
That is $2 off.

Better yet, if the pattern is available in 2 or more size styles,

you get them each for $5 for a potential savings up to $6!

Not such a bad deal, huh?

The best part is that this pattern can easily be shortened to your liking.

Embellishments?
Easy peasy!

Add ribbon trim.

An extra ruffle.

Buttons.

The possibilities are endless!

Let me tell you my inspiration behind this.
I wanted a maxi for my girls.

One that wouldn't eat up a lot of fabric.

One with a cute v-neck type bodice.

Open in the back.

Big bow.

Totally girly but affordable.

I got to sketching.

I made the first one quickly.

It was suppose to be for another customer.

She never got it.

 Sofi claimed it immediately!

The design was a hit.
She absolutely loved that it was long.

And honestly, I did too.

Then the orders started coming in.

One in particular, for a backyard wedding.
And the bride gave me creative freedom.

Burlap anyone?
Lace?
Perfect combo!

That may be my all time favorite creation to date!

And now you can get creative with it as well.

It is time for a comeback!

It has been a minute, or 10.

Ok, it's been way longer.

And it is time for a comeback.

{SIG} has grown by leaps and bounds in the past 6 months.
Major growing pains.
Good growing pains.

But trying to manage it all with triplets and a part time job just about killed me!

I had to find something to let go and it was the blog.
But that should not be a problem any more.

So, I am going to take baby steps.

Let's start with the biggest news.

I have gotten in to pattern writing.
PDF patterns to be more precise.

And I really like it.

Here are some of the patterns that have recently come out, along w/ links for purchase.

Delaney Dress/Top Pattern ~ Size 0-3 month to 8 youth 

OOAK Skirt Pattern ~ Size 12 month to 5T

OOAK Skirt Pattern ~ Size 6 to 14

Bib Shirt Pattern ~ Infant, Toddler and Youth

Poppy Maxi Dress ~ Size 12 month to 5T

Poppy Maxi Dress ~ Size 6 to 14

And that isn't all.

I have TWO more patterns in the testing process.

Yes, I have been busy!

The Paige dress is super beginner friendly and perfect for summer!

The Olivia Dress comes with 3 strap options and 2 skirt options.

That's a lot of mixing and matching!

So, there you have it!

My life the past few months.
Learning how to pattern write, revamping old patterns, and keeping up with regular life.

Things should ease up now that I don't have a part time job, thank God!

And Andrea and I are still making custom clothing.

Oh, and we brought on another seamstress, Carol.

Geez, a lot has happened!
Now, I am crossing fingers that I can keep up with the blog as well!

Have a wonderful Monday, Peeps!
