Check out my new skirts

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been designing and making two new knit cotton skirts in the past week. They were done yesterday but I could not take the pictures because there was not enough natural light. It has been cloudy. But today I was lucky. The sun was shining. These two fun skirts are now available for sale on my Etsy shop.

I am making some more skirts. This time I am into linen fabrics. The new skirts will be the same style as this grey one I made a while ago.

Three new linen skirts

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today I listed three new linen skirts. They all have very lovely and bright hibiscus embroidery, are A-line skirts, and with a drawstring waist. Now available for sale for 65 dollars each.

Check out my Etsy shop for more pictures and information.

New ruffled scarves now available

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that my ruffled scarves are just gorgeous. They are long and versatile, decorative and feminine. I would like people to have more fun this spring and summer so I made more of this fun scarves with lively and fun fabrics!

These scarves are already avilable for sale on my Etsy shop for 35 dollars each.

My next listings will be linen skirts with embroidered hibiscus, similar to the one in this photo:

New clothes for spring

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did some photoshoot today for the first lot of my spring/summer 2010 clothes, which I made in the past six weeks or so. I will list them for sale in the coming days.

New Bags for Spring

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been sewing without listing anything for one month now. Today I listed three new bags.

The first one is a very pretty Our Gardens bag made of home decor weight linen. The one with green print is vintage fabric which I cut from old curtains I found at a market in the Hague.

The second bag is also Our Gardens bag. This one is with lovely spring green and spring print. It is so fresh and colorful.

And the third bag is a large Bean Bag decorated with applique items featuring mother and baby birds in a summer garden. So cute! It is unique and one of a kind.

I have made some clothes, too. Will list them in the coming days.
