Sewing & Shirring

Today I spent the evening sewing. I made a regular bandana dress but had to size it down for a 12 month old, a halloween themed bandana/pillowcase style dress for a 4 year old and then I had a plan to repurpose the Breast Cancer Bandana Dress with a new method called Shirring.

Shirring is sewing with elastic thread in the bobbin which causes the fabric to gather up. I've never done it but had seen several people posting tutorials for it. I don't think I did very good for the first time but I'm excited to try it again

I hadn't tried an actual pillowcase dress so I this is the first time I  put in armholes.  I think it looks so much cleaner than a regular bandana dress. Isn't this fabric adorable.

I also made my first fabric flower! I found this awesome blog that will show you 31 different types of flower to try!
Pink Paper Peppermints

Here is the breast cancer dress I did the shirring on. 

I'm finding so many fun things I want to sew! Can't wait to share them with you!

Breast Cancer Awareness

This is our Breast Cancer Awareness Reversible Bandana dress. Cancer is something I pray you never have to deal with but I think every single one of us know someone with it. It's close to my heart because My Grandma on my Dad's side passes away a couple years ago from a long fight with Cancer. My brother in law with in the past month is dealing with Color Cancer but he is recovering well.  

This post is dedicated to Breast Cancer though because my Grandma on my Moms side is now dealing with it. She'll be starting her Chemo in the next few weeks and it's going to be a long hard journey. 

My mother of Posh Pooch Designs Dog Clothes is trying to help my Grandma raise $300 dollars for gas money for all the trips she has to take back and forth for her treatments. We're half way there and I had to try to find a way to contribute. 

If you'd like to read more about the fundraiser visit my mother's business blog: 

Posh Pooch Designs Dog Clothes or Her Facebook Fan Page: 

This dress is pink light pink on one side and white on the other. With being able to wear it on either side! Two looks in one! 

The price is $20.00 Half the proceeds would go to my grandmother. 

if you'd like to order or have questions please email me : Calleighclips@att.net

The bandana dresses can fit 18m-4T as a dress and 5-7 years as a shirt

I can also add trim or ruffle to the bottom for an additional 3.00 if you want to have it as a dress for an older child. or shrink it down to fit newborn - 12M ( no extra charge on that.)

Shipping is $3.00

We also have a clip if $2.50 for one or  $4.50 for two. Our clip is a lined alligator clips with pink polka dot ribbon. the awareness ribbon is pink velvet ribbon topped with a pink rhinestone. 

Thanks so much. Even if you can't help prayers are always welcome. Her name is Ann McHenry- known to most as Antie Ann! 

Thank

Review- Sara Mills Photograpy

I recently discovered the world of crochet photography props for newborns and children! I'd been networking to find some photographers that would be willing to take some professional photos for Calleigh's Clips. I made acquaintance with Sara Mills of Sara Mill Photography and she will be photographing several items over the next few weeks. First up is our zebra with hot pink polka dot trim bandana dress and M2M bow.We'll have more great pics to feature soon.

All things Zebra

I'm on this Zebra print kick! I've been working on new things for The Gift Garden was looking for things more trendy. Zebra and Hot Pink are my top sellers.

First is our new Granny Square hats - I made them with Simply Soft yarn in Black & White with accents in Hot Pink and Lime Green. Don't you just love how the Color pops. These can be made in a variety of size from newborn to adult. 

Next is my newest Bandana dress in Zebra print with pink and black Polka dot trim. I love that Bandana Dresses fit 12m - up to 4 years as a dress and still fits 5-7 years olds as a shirt. Of course we can always add more fabric to the bottom to make them longer or cut them to be smaller.

Not only to they grow with your child but there light weight for summer and make a great swim suit coverup  and in the winter you can put a shirt underneath and add some leggings. It's great in all season. 

of course I had to make a bow to match !

Another favorite bandana dress is the hot pink zebra! It also comes in lime and orange. 

The second bow was inspired by a friend of mine. I'd accidentally bought brown zebra so I had to put it to good use. This is super cute if you love animal prints.

I have a several other animal print ribbons and I'll be working on new flower ribbon bows too! I can't wait to show you more!
