Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!!

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a couple of gorgeous aprons with our Scented collection. Charmed by Aprons is an online shop of feminine, 50s-inspired aprons in elegant and playful fabric prints & combinations. It all started when Liivika, owner of Charmed by Aprons, was searching for feminine aprons to no luck. She decided to create her own patterns, getting inspiration from vintage styles. Her friends loved her aprons so much, that it sparked the idea for a new business idea. Her shop has now expanded to several designs and limited collections, and is ever-growing. Her wish? “…that every woman feels comfortable and feminine in our aprons!”

One of her latest fabric choices caught our eye… or rather our nose! She chose a couple of prints from our Scented collection, perfectly mixing and matching different prints (and scents!) to create her stunning aprons. One of our favorites is the Peachy Peach apron, featuring our “peachy peach” design. Love the complimentary coral color with it. She also combined two of our scented prints – Watermelon and Pink Sugar. Pink and red is always a classic combination, but we also have no qualms about an ever sweeter watermelon scent.

Thank you for the fabric love, Liivika!! These aprons are absolutely gorgeous!! You can check more from Charmed by Aprons on their website, as well as on their Instagram. And with that – have an amazing weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! I hope you all are feeling fine and fantastic, but if not, it’s just about the weekend! And that’s something to celebrate!! I think there may even be some gelato in the office today. Hmm… ;)

It’s time to end our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing a super sweet ruffled party dress, featuring our Scented collection, from Sophia Gracie Couture. Sophia Gracie Couture is an Etsy Shop of the most beautiful of handmade, girl and boy garments. Each design is custom and created by Lee, in her home’s sewing studio in the North of Ireland. She is often inspired by her own daughter, Sophia, of dresses and outfits she would love most. Sophia is also her mama’s little model – how cute!  Lee notes, “I take great pleasure in producing garments that are one of a kind, and made with great care and attention to detail, so that each garment is durable and also in some cases adjustable!”.

Lee designed the sweetest (pun intended! ;)) of little girl dresses, her Ruffle Party Dress, that is perfect for a tea party or day in the park. The dress features cap sleeves, four frills alternating between print & solid color fabric, and a button & loop back closure. She chose the strawberry print of our Scented collection, which her daughter says smells like sweeties! Which little girl wouldn’t want to twirl around in a pretty dress, smelling as sweet as they look! :) The dress can also be custom ordered in our other Scented collections, so if your little one prefers apple, grape, or watermelon – there’s a dress for her too!

Thank you, Lee, for the fabric love and for sharing your dress with us on Instagram. We are so happy you love our Scented as much as we do. And, it seriously is such a sweeeet dress!! If you create a project using our fabric collections, we’d love to see! You can send your photos to us or tag us on Instagram. Have an awesome weeeekend!!

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday!! I hope you all are having a wonderful day. This week, we are giving away our Gypsy Lane FQ Bundle on our Facebook Page – so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet! :)

Time for our Thankful Thursday! Getting back from Quilt Market, we have so many incredible projects featuring our fabric back in our studio – sewn by some really talented people. One of the projects we had sewn up was a super sweet Girls Ruffle Dress by The Cottage Mama, done by Lisa of Lisa Lisa Designs. This Girls Ruffle Dress is absolutely adorable, and the perfect choice for showcasing our Scented and Mixology collections.

Our delicious strawberry print worked perfectly with our midnight woven, and the bow and ruffles were the perfect touch of sweetness. Lisa also added some mini red buttons at the shoulders, which we love. She did such an incredible job with this dress, we were squealing at its cuteness when we received it in the box!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Lisa, and want to thank her for sewing the dress for us for QM. Lisa is also a pattern designer, with wonderful PDF patterns available at her shop – Lisa Lisa Designs. We definitely recommend checking out her site! You can also find the pattern for the Girls Ruffle Dress at The Cottage Mama. Such a sweet dress!! Have a lovely day, everyone!

Happy Sewing!
