Name My Shop and Win!

I've been busy, busy sewing up some new skirts and market bags! I am preparing to sell them at our local crafts and antique market and also on etsy. Problem is, I need a catchy name for both! Here's a sampling of the goods:

Small Market Bag

Apron Ruffle Skirt Front

Apron Ruffle Skirt Back

Apron Ruffle Skirt Detail

Yellow Apron & Bow Skirt Front

Apron & Bow Skirt Back

I need to get some more items photographed when it's not raining!

All of the items I will be selling will be made from vintage fabrics, mostly sheets and hankies. Therefore, I was thinking something along the lines of The Vintage Linen Closet... but "meh"... some thing better than that. Cute, Whimsical, Vintage, Handmade are all ideas I want to express in the name.

Here's where you come in! Would you like to win a skirt like one of these, but custom made for your child, grandchild, little friend, or heck, I can even make one for YOU to wear! You pick the style (ruffle apron or bow apron) and post your clever name for my shop here! I will make one of these skirts for you in your choice of colors and size if your name is chosen! (Allow two weeks.)

It get's better!!! I will also take ALL of the comments and randomly choose one winner to receive a vintage sheet market bag! You may post one comment for each of the following:

1. submit a name idea
2. become a follower
3. post a link to this contest on your blog
4. tweet about it
5. Face Book about it

Just provide a link to the mention in your comment!

Thanks for playing and good luck!

I *heart* Holly Hobbie

I have been on a sewing kick again! I lucked out and was able to combine my love for vintage sheets and linens, with my love of sewing and my love of all things Holly Hobbie!

That means I have a new item in my Etsy shoppe!

I have been working out the kinks and perfecting my ruffle skirt. I think I have made about 10 since I first posted about them. I made some changes to how I construct the skirt so that it will last a long long time and always look good. More on that in a different post.

I have a bunch of these fabrics left so that means I am happy to take custom orders!

By the way, that sweet little Holly Hobbie doll... I thrifted her over the summer. She is EXACTLY like the one I had as a little girl. I have never stopped loving all things Holly Hobbie. it just brings back so many memories.

So much, in fact, that when Sophie was one year old, I dressed her as Holly Hobbie for Halloween! This was before my sewing kick, so her costume was ordered from Amazon, not hand made.
Maybe I can convince her to go as Holly Hobbie again next year so I can go crazy making her an awesome costume? This year she insists on being Jessie from the movie Toy Story. Hmmm.... maybe I can go as Holly Hobbie this year! I still have time! LOL!
