Because small business.

You’ve no doubt heard the saying that “When you buy from a small business, an actual person does a happy dance.” It’s true! Every maker that I know celebrates every order they have the honor to produce and carefully package and ship out. Many say a little prayer that each item arrives safely and that the recipient will love it.

I’ve got nothing against big businesses, I totally appreciate the value and money savings that comes with economies-of-scale. And there are plenty of products that are made BETTER in a factory production line with dedicated equipment for each step. However the downside is a lack of uniqueness and creativity and passion.

Thats why, after so wind decades in mass manufacturing, I love having a little Etsy handmade shop…and I love FB showcases!

Because “novelty prints”.

A benefit of making-by-hand is that you can choose fun prints that just don’t get used in mass-production. You can read the post today in my Facebook group to find out why! (Www.Facebook.com/groups/7pinedesignstudio)

This novelty from @fabric_traditions is for the “Marvelous Machines” showcase tomorrow in the Salt of the Earth showcase. I was just lucky to have a small bit of it leftover from mask-making!

Because catching up on orders.

Some days are meant for lots of coffee and just cranking through.

Because smock-dresses.

While I love the look of Fifties-style fitted waists with poufy skirts…I also have a weak spot for late-Sixties and early Seventies-era smocks.

This silhouette crossed the pond from London’s Biba boutique and is such an easy comfortable style to wear! Lots of my early sewing projects in high school and college were in this trendy look. I’m so happy to see new PDFs for smock dresses!
