This pattern is my new obsession. It has been so much fun coming up with different combinations to make it up out of. The pattern is by Kari Mecca and is called "Sheri's Cherries". It was on the cover of Sew Beautiful one time and I always thought it was one of the sweetest dress ever! Has the perfect vintage look.
Here it is made up in a more modern version and I used bloomers instead of the panties.
I bought this cherry print to make it up in another "Sheri's Cherries" sundress but I stopped myself because I happen to come across this "Isabella" pattern(by Maja Heirlooms). I have always wanted to make this adorable pattern but to be honest, it intimidated me. I needed a sewing challenge so I tackled it! So glad I did! It really is not as bad as I thought it would be.I already have ideas to make it up again.
I apoligize for not blogging in awhile. I've just been a little busy. Nothing big is going on, just a bunch of small things. But I found some time to sew.Yay! Just wanted to let everyone know that Sew Beautiful has done an interview of me on their new blog! So go check it out here (Oooooo, I just learned a new trick to add a link). The article is finally out and seems to be creating a little interest in the shop cause we have had lots of webstore orders for our kits. Thank you soooooooo much for your orders! This is the first time we have had an article in a magazine ever. We all had no idea what to expect. But we are so happy with the response!!!!!!!!
That's it for now! Have a great day!
Okay my linkige skills are not working for the SB blog page. Try this link instead http://sewbeautifulmag.blogspot.com/2010/03/march-designer-of-month-ivey-crenshaw.html
Such cute little outfits! Congrats on the interview in SB. My favorite magazine ever.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you guys are getting some orders in from the article! I bet you will get a ton.
ReplyDeleteI read the article about you this morning. I have always loved that pattern by Kari Mecca. I bought everything to make it for my grandbaby, and then surgery got in the way - twice. I still have the pattern, and after I saw your outfit, I went and dug it out. Thank goodness, it will still fit, but now it will be different fabrics. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI also read the article about you and then tuned in to your blog. Your designs are beautiful. I can see my granddaughter wearing them. I couldn't choose a favorite right now because I love all of them.
ReplyDeleteYour stuff is so cute..... How DO you do it? And you certainly are a pattern enabler. Now i think i NEED this pattern. Thanks!! I knew the article would generate business for you guys and i know that is a blessing in this economy. I am so happy for you and the store. Thanks for blogging when you can and taking the time to share.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the article! I made the Isabella a couple of months ago for my 3 yr old granddaughter I loved the fit.
ReplyDeleteThankyou thankyou thankyou! Reading all your comments just warms my heart!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely darling! I remember this being on the cover of SB. I'm glad I found your blog and I am now a follower - I hope you visit me sometime too at http://sewnso.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHey Ivey! I need to go find the magazine! But I did comment on the SB blog post about you. Here is the correct link to SB. The other one did not work. Just highlight the link then type ctrl c(that copies it) then go to your edit posts area click to edit it. Then clear out the incorrect link. Type the words you want us to click on like link or whatever then click the link button. Where you put the path to your link click in the box and then hit ctrl v. That will paste the correct link that you are going to copy here

Hope that helps!
Jenny!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I just fixed my link problem. Your so smart. I would have never figured that out on my own. Gosh, I need to take some computer classes.
ReplyDeleteI love your designing style! I must ask... how do you get the corners to lay flat on a large square collar. yours looks so neat and mine always want to curl up, therefore I seldom make them, but would if mine looked as neat as yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy! Maybe your pulling your trim to tight when you turn the corner.I know I have done that way too often and will flip the corners up. Anyways, happy sewing!
ReplyDeleteJust darling! I have such a fondness for anything cherry so I just love that little dress with the cherries on it. I love all your pretties.
