Fly A Kite!

Love this fabric!

I've had my eye on it for a while and cherished the feel of it when it came in the mail.

Even more so, I loved making it for a sweet little girl.

Appleville

I love this dress.

There are a couple reasons to love it, first being the adorable fabric. Second, it's going to a loyal customer who has ordered several dresses from me.

I sure hope her sweet girl loves twirling in Appleville.

Winner!

I've had a lot of fun with this giveaway!

I love the peasant dresses...and anything kind of hippy-like for my little 5T girl. The folks in my small town don't get some of the clothes that look like the fabrics don't match...but my little woman has a ton of fashion sense and she loves them!!!

One Janey Dress in the Fall Apples or fabric selection of your choice from my Etsy shop.

Fall Apron Knot Dress

Have I mentioned how much I love this fabric collection?  I love vintage look of the apple trees and apples. Beautiful browns, greens, reds on a setting of cream.

Even more, I love how they look on the Apron Knot Dress.

Just picture your sweet girl in the pumpkin patch, choosing her perfect pumpkin in this dress. This dress is asking to be worn to the apple orchard. Hayrides through the farm followed by hot apple cider.

Scoot on over to my Etsy shop and get yours now!

Fall Dresses

I am pleased to introduce you to Sweet Janey. She is the latest addition to my line. I love her simple lines. Part of her charm is the elastic in the neckline and sleeves. She's roomy enough to grow with your girl. She's a must for every little girl's wardrobe. 

 My plan is to continue adding styles to my shop over time. It's a bit slower going than I might like, mainly because this is something I do on the side. Ya know, during naps and at night after bedtime. I am a Mama & Wife first. 

Welcome to Mama's Mess!

I am a stay at home mom, who sews to raise money for our adoptions.

Sewing has always been part of my life. I remember creating clothes for my dolls at a young age.

Once I became a mom, I started making clothes and toys for my son. From there I began making dresses for my friend's girls. Once we realized that we needed extra money for our second adoption, sewing was the most logical way to raise the money.

Take a look around. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy creating it.
