$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.

Oh, do share photos.

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!

7000 Fan Giveaway ~ WINNER

It's funny how it all works out.
We hit 7000 fans.
Actually, gone beyond the 7000 fans.
And one of our biggest supporters & allies in the sewing world wins.

Mind you, this is powered by Rafflecopter.
They go through Random.org to pick a winner.
So this is in no way in my control unless said winner did not comply
with the requirement such as saying they subscribed to the newsletter but didn't.
Then I pick another winner.

But this one was the 1st pick.
And we couldn't love this person any more.
So, in a way, karma put their hand in this one.

JANA M, you are the winner!
I'll look up your comment & see what colors you are liking.
And thank you ALL for supporting {SIG}.

We are growing by leaps & bounds!

Have a beautiful, happy Monday!

7000 Fan Giveaway ~ Patchwork Pillowcase/Form

Who doesn't love a giveaway?
Somehow, in the past 6 months, we have managed to gain

so many new fans and we want to celebrate it.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought {SIG}

would reach 7000 fans and I don't want to stop here.

My next big goal is to get to 10,000.

In celebration of 7000 fans, Andrea & I decided that we

would make one amazing throw pillow cover.

You even get to give us your input on colors.

We will do our best to accommodate it!

Andrea is the creator behind our newest pattern.

This amazing patchwork throw pillow cover can be made in any size.

That means if YOU win and YOU have a pillow you would like us to

recover for you, we will use those dimensions instead of sending 

the 16x16 pillow form we have here.

Here is another great patchwork pillow cover we have

up for grabs over at Boutique Challenge Auctions.

You have through Monday night to bid on it!

Now, let's get to the giveaway.

Just do as Rafflecopter tells you to do & you are entered!

Good luck!
