Things With Wings

Summer brings us things with wings...

Remember how much Ivy loves Cinderella?  She has been practicing her twirling and curtsey-ing for her dances with the prince in her new butterfly twirly skirt.  I've been wanting to make a skirt like this for days!  I used the basic market skirt pattern and added some extra layers.  The butterfly fabric is from Momo's Freebird line that goes swell with the Wonderland fabric I have been hoarding.  

I also embellished a tank from Old Navy with another butterfly.  I heart them. They are fun to make and so darling.  If you are looking for a good butterfly template, head over to Martha Stewart.  That's where I got mine and it is the perfect size!

Market Day

My favorite day of the week! 

I didn't get as many pictures this week since I had a booth.  I made a batch of market skirts this week to sell, and they were a hit.  I also had hair bows and pins, onesies, kids clothes and some other odds and ends.  The main reason for doing a booth is to keep the space in front of Greenies focused on Greenies.  And hey if I can make some spare cash what the heck!.

Odyssea Market Skirt

I think MoMo for Moda has put out some of my most favorite fabric ever.  I am hoarding my Wonderland fabric and I'm hoping the rumors are true that it is going to be re-released this spring. I have been selling a few skirts at Greenies and we sold out!  So I pulled out my Odyssea (another great line by MoMo) fabric to make a skirt. 

 I think this is the prettiest thing I have made.  That plum color is one of my favorites and I like how it pulls out all of the darker colors in the print.

The plum fabric is really soft almost like a sueded satin or something.  I'm not exactly sure what it is since I got it out of the remnant bin.  I also did a scalloped stitch on the hemline.  I'd say its a size small or medium and if you really like it you can go buy it at Greenies! ;0)
