knick knacks & ric rac

i always figure out the colorways for different prints on the computer, and 98% of the time they come out exactly like i want them to when i actually print them. the first two hex sign skirt colorways came out just right… but i can’t decide which colorway of the star version i like. i printed the one with yellow first, [...]

summer weather makes me feel like rummaging through the vintage fabric stash and putting together some colorful combinations. here’s a peek at some ‘limited edition’ skirts i just finished up… the red flowering vine print fabric and the americana print barkcloth are both vintage sample yardage from sears, they still had the production tags on them. remember this awesome fabric i found a [...]

have you been watching the new ‘there’s no place like here’ series of videos on etsy? if you’re nosey like me and like to see inside other peoples’ homes, they’re fun to watch! guess whose house is featured today! i apologize for all of my nervous giggling and mumbling. (ps-i just posted a few more house pictures [...]

here’s a sneak peek at the applique detail on one of my new skirts.  i screen printed the folky flowers and used a cute green calico for the leaves. that plaid fabric really is as bright as it looks, i love it! coming soon…really, really soon!

how do you feel about winter white? i think i’m really starting to like it! i just finished up this winter white version of my matryoshka skirt. i used sparkly metallic bronze and pewter ink, along with icy aqua and lavender regular ink. i’m going to call it the ‘snow maiden matryoshka skirt’. it makes me think of russian [...]

  one of my new prints for fall/winter. coming soon! inspired by polish pottery, but i’ll bet you already guessed that! it’s printed on my very favorite fabric, natural unbleached cotton duck. i love everything about this fabric…the little specks in it, the weight and texture of it, and i love the smell of it fresh off [...]

here’s a sneak peek at one of the new skirt prints i finished up this week. i’m calling this one ‘fairytale forest’, for obvious reasons! there’s also a third colorway featuring red riding hood. it’s a wrap-around skirt with the deep dark woods print all the way around, and fairytale figures on the very end based on illustrations from [...]

another new print for fall/winter… inspired by woven ribbon trims and ric rac. i printed this one in three colorways. coming soon! next week if i can get my act together…

i just finished sewing up skirt samples of one of my new prints for fall/winter. i call this one my ‘favorite things’ print, well, because it features a few of my favorite things. like toadstools and edelweiss and kissing bunnies and…see for yourself! the red print is paired with black denim, and the green print [...]
