📣 This one is for you, Dads!

Since Mother’s Day is the weekend after my next market, I will be making some ready-to-gift Mother’s Day gift sets!
🌼 Set one: two scrunchies for mom- an oversized double ruffle & a lace scrunchie
🌸 Set two: Mom & Me matching top knot headbands

I’ll have different fabrics for each set and availability will be limited! These sets will be packaged pretty and ready to gift! Perfect for those last minute shoppers or a kid looking for something to give to mom. 💛

Available to shop at the Finders Market on May 2nd!

It has been such a wonderful (and busy) weekend!
Thank you SO much to everyone who came out to see me! Your support truly means the world to me!! 🥹❤️

Shop updates:
I’m entering the third trimester of pregnancy this week and am so very tired! 😅 I will be taking the day “off” and will get back to answering messages and emails tomorrow! Customs will not be open this week, but I may have some availability next week! I have one more market coming up in just a few weeks so all remaining market inventory will be posted to the website AFTER that market!
You can find me at the Finders Market on May 2nd in Decatur, IL! 🙌🏽

I need to make one of these geese for my little one on the way!! 🥹 These would be so sweet with a name embroidered on a wing or as a baby shower gift- or both!! They’ll be available for custom ordering very soon! 🤎🪿

I cannot believe market day is TOMORROW!!! I feel like time has absolutely flown by! I’m working on last minute items and final touches today and will be ready for you to shop in person at the Midwest Market in Effingham!

Spring is here and every girl needs a pair of wings to flutter along with the butterflies! 🦋🌼

I’ve made a few sets of these for the market (along with fabric crowns & wands) but I’m thinking they need to become a permanent addition to the shop after the markets... What do you think? 🤭😍

This is, hands down, one of my favorite bonnets I’ve ever sewn. 😍😮‍💨

The Dresden Plate quilt became popular in the late 20’s through the 50’s and were most often sewn by hand to create the most stunning quilts. Today, they’re one of my favorite things to sew! Sewing them onto bonnets adds a beautiful vintage charm, in my opinion!

I’ve been spending so much time making dolls that I almost forgot how much I enjoy sewing bonnets! 🥹😍
So many one of a kind pieces will be available to shop in person NEXT WEEKEND at the Midwest Market in Effingham!! 🌼

Forgive me if I’m quiet on social media this week and next! I’m covered from head to toe in thread sewing as much as I can! 🪡
