Peek a Boo!

I've done did it. I've started working on my fall line. Of course the summer line is still available through the summer, but for those of us proactive sort of people (ha ha) we can now look to the future!

I started off with an adorable peasant apron dress. I have always loved the peasant look - perhaps I had a past medieval life?

Don't kill me - but these are not exactly for sale yet. This particular blue beauty is one of four pieces going to a photographer who will be showcasing my designs. However, you can expect the same style on the ones I plan on starting as soon as I get off this computer.









If you look hard enough you can see the embroidered detail on the apron. Lots of little extras on this dress - from lace around the bodice, crocheted flower button, embroidered apron, down to the rick-rack above the skirt ruffle.



Now this happens to be the Miss Mamie in Clara Garden print fabric. And unless Nancy decides this is too loud for her taste (is there such a thing?) it won't be for sale either. I started making this outfit with skepticism but as soon as I finished it I decided that I wanted to keep it. The problem with that, however, is that I can no longer find this fabric anywhere. So I guess this will be a one of a kind!
