Time to get ready for Halloween!

Hi guys!

July 31, I start sewing for Halloween. I went on the Joann site and ordered fabric right before my August vacation. The fabric came right before I left so I was so EXCITED to open the box and get to work once I was home.

I try to make at least one thing out of the fabrics that I have in my Halloween box.

My new fabrics!

Candy corn is always fun! This one came in purple!

Black and white skulls paired with a white Hooded Sweatshirt.

Halloween pumpkins paired with a hooded sweatshirt.

Monster Halloween skirt paired with a lace edged t-shirt.

Tossed skulls paired with a hooded sweatshirt with ears!

Find me on ETSY

This year, things slowed down so much that I was paying more for fees then I was selling. It is sad to say but I finally decided to shut down my store. -----------------...

Cabbage Patch Snacktime Kid Outfit- Special Order

One Saturday night, several weeks back, I received a request for a Snacktime Kid outfit. I had never heard of that particular doll so posted on the 'Cabbage Patch Kids Buy, Sell & Trade' Group. In the meantime, I googled it and found that it was a doll that had been recalled in 1997. Evidently, not everyone returned their dolls. This doll eats plastic food and goes through her into a backpack through a hole in her back. I was awake most of the night trying to figure out how to sew this. How will I make it when I don't have the doll? Do I make a slit in the back of the outfit or somehow sew an actual hole? The next day, my customer said she wanted a Robot Snowsuit. I figured this is the one she had seen on Amazon Handmade. The one I had made was for a boy doll. I found out that her little boy had her old 16" girl doll and carried it around so I think she wanted something more 'boyish'. I pulled out the fabric to make sure I had enough. I had ...
