...and that brings me to the title Seasonal Mixup. When I sew for myself and family, I sew clothes for the season we're in. Well, that's not how it works when you're a crafter. I should be sewing spring/summer outfits in the winter and vice versa. I just can't seem to get "in the mood" to sew summer outfits. Sewing spring outfits when we have a blizzard outside does not make me warmer! I'd rather be sewing a wool coat or corduroy overalls. Now, that's the kind of material to keep you warm!
Lucky for me, I never seem to complete all the planned seasonal outfts before it's time to move to sewing for the upcoming seasons. And because of that, I've been sewing winter dresses and outfits since the arrival of the cold weather and snow. I know. I know. I'll have to start using those beautiful pastel fabrics before too long to be ready for spring shows but that's for another day. Perhaps for when the sun finally returns.
Two of the late winter outfits I finished are below.
With winter still here, they would make great Valentine Day gifts.
Maryellen stays warm working in her overalls. The overalls are made from a soft corduroy and have metal hooks just like on real overalls. The blouse is 100% cotton with working buttons for closure. The outfit sells for $25.00
Maryellen is already to attend the St. Valentine's Day ball on a wintry February evening! She is wearing a Ruby Red gown made of shiny satin with a shimmery organza skirt overlay. The neck bodice has glistening ruby and diamond rhinestones for an understated elegant look. The outfit comes with a soft fleece cape lined to match the gown and closes with a snap covered by a ruby rhinestone. The gown and cape sell for $30.00
Email me at uniquethreadsandyarns@gmail.com if you are interested or would like to special order. There's still time to place a Valentine order.
Wishing for warmer weather......
