Lantern Bloom By Laura Gunn

I am so glad that I have decided and was able to order this beautiful line by Laura Gunn for Michael Miller fabrics. Every bolt is truly a work of art. The designs are contemporary and the hues vibrant in orange, lime (citron), aqua, turquoise and green. I love that Laura Gunn was able to show that she is a painter by trade, by keeping the brush strokes in her textile designs alive.
You can find the Lantern Bloom here.

I have also ordered a few rolls of bias tape. I was almost out :)

Far Far Away News plus a "before and after"

Today I received more unicorns in purple, wild flowers in purple and wild flowers in green. I wish the total re ordered line would come all at once, but it just always trickles in when it is ready to ship. At least the colors match this time :) The rest should arrive the middle of July. I told my wholesaler I should call myself the "Heather Ross" store because I sold out so fast 2 times in a row. That made her chuckle. So if you have been lusting for some more Far Far Away in purple it is here.

I have been so busy trying to figure out, how to balance the business, the kids summer vacation, housework and "me" time (it is very important for my well being to have some down time, I don't know about you..) so unfortunately the blogging has lacked behind and the sewing has not been what it should be, as well as so many other projects that I had in my mind. Sometimes everything just seems half baked. I hope things will come back into full swing soon!

I have done "some" sewing though. I received LORE from Farbenmix. I SO wish we had this pattern available here in English. Once we will I will have it in the shop for sure. It's awesome!
Have a look. I used fabrics from the shop ( Busilis poplin, Happy Sunshine knit for Romy and Summer Karo in blue with pink and white polka dot knit, for Ella) so you can see them sewn up :)



And then something wonderful happened last night. Ella lost her first front, top tooth. The important one that will forever changer her smile into a brand new, more grown up one... sniff...
So here are the before and after pictures.

Modkids meets Euro fabric

Look at my TOP models!! Modeling with attitude, Ella in a KYOKO and Romy in FRIDA by Modkid. Awesome patterns!! Even the sewing beginner will have no problem what so ever sewing these Beauties!
I am also showcasing Polo Rose poplin. This is truly a lovely fabric. The print is so fresh and goes perfect with my fave Busilis.

Modkid has two new patterns coming very soon. Patty said they should be ready to ship in early July and I pre ordered them.



SOPHIE is a pant that can be sewn in three different variations. The picture on the KYOKO pattern actually features the pants so you know KYOKO and SOPHIE will look awesome together.



SYDNEY makes my fingers tickle and my imagination go wild. It is SUCH a super cute pattern!
Wouldn't the dress look great as a Christmas dress with a red velour hood and a white furry trim?

I really cannot wait for them to ship :)

And the WINNER is....

...... Two Pretty Little Skirts, DAWN :) Congrats!!

I hope you have as much fun sewing with the pattern as I did!
