>Hope you’re all having a great weekend so far!
Here’s a very colorful and very inspiring catalog page from Fall/Winter 1939-1940. I would personally LOVE to outfit my wardrobe with exact copies of most things on this page. Aren’t they to die for cute? Love the applique on the green dress with matching contrast buttons. And that suspender skirt! Perfect for dancing!
Sorry things have been all quiet on the blog front. I’m settling down into my new store and have been working hard on getting it “just so”. A big thank you to everyone who has already put in orders and reviews on the site! I really love the new platform and I hope you do, too. Great news- as of this morning I now have multiple shipping choices via USPS! And don’t forget when you create an account on the site you can make a wish list that you can either keep private or get a special link to send to family and friends. It’s great if you have a birthday coming up. Or they can send you a gift certificate. Fun!
Another feature I’d love to add to the new shop is a customer gallery showing off what you have made- and maybe a short quip about it. If you’d like to participate please contact me and let me know- and in return you’ll get 10% off your next order plus I’ll add your name and blog link to the photo.
Oh yes- don’t forget the special discount code I posted a few entries ago!
Guess that’s all the news here! I’ve got myself under a pile of deadlines (eek!) but I’m crossing my fingers I’ll get some personal sewing time this weekend. I’ve got all sorts of ideas bouncing around the walls of my head and patterns I’m itching to start on.
Have a great weekend!

Such a fun look :)Just want to say that it's been neat to see your new store develop over the past week–it looks so professional and I love all the features (pattern reviews and now a gallery!). :)♥ Casey
