Rosie's Whimsy

Nell is a beautiful shade of rose. She has very shy tone on tone stripes and is soft on one side and silky on the other.

Nell is a wonderful choice for the office or church. She is dignified and sophisticated. Nell does have a split personality so she keeps this next one in the closet, too, for when she is feeling Bohemian.

Nell's gone a ruffling

Both skirts can be found in my etsy shop.

I’m off to cut out those Sateens, now  ~rosie~

Woo Hoo!

I just got my bolts of Cotton Sateen from Moda. I can’t wait to dig into them and make some skirt samples. I thought they would make lovely Holiday skirts.

Cotton Sateen from Moda

You can’t really tell from the swatch photos but it has a nice sheen without it being satiny shiny. I will be cutting and pre-washing tomorrow. Hopefully, I will have a sample or two in my shop in a few days.

You do know Holiday parties are just around the corner, right?  ~rosie~

I love to see real live pictures of my customers in my skirts!

Doesn’t she look wonderful? She has been a wonderful person to work with and has actually ordered 2 more skirts!

Karol has her own Etsy shop called Karolelli. She has some wonderful vintage rhinestone jewelry pieces which are stunning!

Thanks, Karol, for letting me share your picture rosie

I ordered some of the collection French Lace Batik for uncommon yardage and it has proved to be an awesome purchase.

I used these 2 Sage selections first ….

and made one of my very favorite skirts ever!

I took the extra time to run a row of embroidered stitching along the top of the border and at the hem. It really set of the lace batik of the border.

This is a long skirt because of the depth of the border. It can be made between the lengths of 24 and 29″. Perfect for someone who likes a bohemian look.

I have enough material to make 4 more. Guess who’s going to keep this one?

Mwaaaahahahaaaaaaa
