PHASE ONE: Testers needed!

For the last few months, I've been working hard on this brand new ebook. Typing, picture taking, rewriting, editing.... Finally, it is now going into the "testing" phase. I'm not going to show you what it is yet.... but I will tell you it's a super cute dress for spring/summer. How do you become a tester for my FABULOUS ebook?

ETA: Pattern is for size 1/2 to 4T

It's as simple as leaving me a comment! Just tell me you want to be a tester! I will post the 2 "winners" tomorrow morning, randomly drawn of course. Tester will be given final version of the ebook as well once it is all finished.

All I ask is that the testers finish the dress within 1 week and give me feedback on grammar, clarity, and general flow of the ebook. Also, a picture of the finished dress :) So if you don't think you can do that, please don't put that your name.

BUT............................. STAY TUNE!!!!!! Once the ebook is finished and in my etsy shop, I will have a drawing involving some fabulous prizes!!!!

I want to SEW!

Samantha has watched me sew for more than 2 years now. She's my little helper, I use that term very loosely. After countless times of asking me to let her sew, I finally caved today. She was a natural! I, of course, set the speed to the slowest, showed her how to set the foot up and down, needle up and down, and start and stop. She just sewed the same square over and over again, she has even learned how to pivot! She told me that she wanted to learn how to serge next, I'm like "slow down, little girl!" But I'm so proud of her! She is learning to sew at 4 years old! Soon, She will be better at sewing than I am! After Sewing for 10 minutes, she told me, "Tomorrow, you can be my customer and I will sew for you. But you serge for me, because that is scary." My little girl, all grown up! Sniff.... Sniff.....

Look at her go! (yes, she is in her PJs)

Perfect Form ...

Perfect Concentration! (there is a little smirk there... hehe!)

Customer Spotlight: Georgia

Thank you so much to Georgia for emailing me these adorable pictures of her daughter, Althea, wearing her own Sweetheart Dress, from my ebook. I love seeing other seamstress' creations especially from my own patterns. Georgia did a great job and I hope that she will continue to sew because custom boutique sewing is addicting! Or is it the attention that is addicting? I can't tell anymore.
