Modern Prairie Sewing.. at Always in Stitches!!!!

When I found my book, Modern Prairie Sewing, sitting on the book shelf at Always in Stitches in Noblesville, I was so excited!!!

The gals at Always in Stitches were happy too, so we got together and set a date for me to have a book signing!

  signing...

 This gorgeous young lady is my cousin, Hannah.

She was super sweet and offered to test out the Everyday Sundress back when I was working on the pattern.

She wore her Everyday Sundress to the book signing and it looked

SO cute on her!!!

(Proof's in the puddin'... ^ )

I had such a great day!!! I had a lot of fun at my book signing and enjoyed talking to quite a few gals who were just like me... they love to sew and see where their imagination and fabric will take them!

I especially loved seeing my family (and a couple friends!) walk up.

Wow. I have the most amazing and supportive family ever.

And I love them to pieces. Each and every one.

Thanks so much, Always in Stitches, for having me!

You have a beautiful and inspirational store.

Flea Market Findings

 

We are big flea market shoppers.  Not only is it the joy of finding something worthless and making it use-able and fresh, it's spending the "hunt" with some of your favorite people. The immediate bond when we all decide to collect vintage lamps, old chairs, or wobbly tables - and all at the same time. We're crazy that way, but we wouldn't trade it! 

What are you looking for these days at flea markets?  And if you're not a big flea market finder, why not?  Tips or tricks on how to really get a bang for your buck?  Please let me know!

Big Love, Abi

favorite summer skirt

                                                                    Through an open door.

Some pieces of clothing take a few wears before you decide whether or not you like them. Or love them. Or hate them. This skirt was one that I picked up when my sisters and I went shopping with some great friends! (Love you, Lydia! Sophie! Clara!) The daisies looked so summery. "It's just perfect." I thought. And I was right.

What are some of your new favorite pieces for this summer season?
