May your days be merry and bright!

We wish you the merriest of holidays!

And, just so you know, we will be closed from December 25th through January 1st. We'll be back in the office on the 2nd so be sure to check back for an exciting announcement for the month of January :)

I'd also like to debut our new MMF model, Wendy O Williams. She is wearing Chevy Chevron in Garland...

Growing up, we always had big dogs and we never dressed them up-- well, those days are over! I am obsessed with sewing dog outfits, especially for the holidays... Why shouldn't they be festive?! Be prepared for many dog themed blog posts in the near future!

I loved sewing with the Chevy Chevron so much that I decided to make Little Miss O a maxi skirt for her to wear with her jean jacket that she loves so much. She can probably wear it this weekend since it will be in the high 60's in NYC. I guess there won't be any dreaming of a white Christmas!

I didn't use a pattern to make the chevron skirt. I just measured O's waist to ankle and made a big rectangle. I gathered the top edge to O's waist measurement plus 2 inches and sewed it to a wide red ribbon. The gold sparkle sneakers are from Target and I found the white ruffle socks at Gap. Then we rocked out to some Pat Benatar- I know... Hit Me With Your Best Shot is not the most Christmas-y of songs :)

I found a tutorial over on Simple Simon and Co that would make a great maxi skirt. Just click here.

Looking for a last minute idea for your Christmas dinner table? Trenna Travis created a lovely look using the Chevy Chevron and our classic Ta Dot.

I haven't forgotten about you, classic Holiday prints! I made Miss O a dress using Scarlet Poinsettia that is worthy of Christmas day.

I used Butterick 3762 for the dress and the black patent leather shoes are from Target.
My sister-in-law made that fancy gold pine cone ornament that's attached to the gift- I found a tutorial here. 

Heidi Pridemore also designed a new quilt using Scarlet Poinsettia. The free pattern will be available on our website very soon!

 Merry Christmas, happy holidays and happy New Year!
