yep! promised! and have been sew so busy! you can see the results at AnitaDeanSews.etsy.com or here!

I've been sewing.. Little Miss Prim has been at it again! Here are the first 6 dresses of the 2012 Collection!

Cupcake dress in size 4! I just love pink!

These two stunning RED DRESSES are the bomb! The richness of the red does not photograph well ... you'll have to take my word for it.. the color of the fabric is lush!

Tinkerbell Dresses in size 4 and 18/24 months!

I was finishing the detail on this in the dentist's office waiting room... a little girl seated near me was wide eyed & her mom took my card.. a birthday coming up soon!

Halloween Costumes!

About 20 years ago, two adorable little girls wanted to be a Princess & a Clown. They were the granddaughters of one of my bosses and I gladly obliged! All these years later, I pulled out the patterns and decided on the CLOWN!

I have to say it's been a hit! If you had time to read my early October post, you may recall that Princess Tickle Feather modelled the Pink Princess Clown outfit. She did such a fantastic job that I had several Clown Prince costume orders! they went to Louisiana, Texas, New York & California.... can't wait for the Halloween photos so you all can see how cute these little ones look!

These little treasures have been made using 20 year old Simplicity costume pattern #0664.

...hope everyone enjoys the rest of October & the beautiful fall weather! have a happy & safe Halloween!

I'm off to the cutting room floor to cut some fabric to get ready to sew! best wishes to all for a good evening & delightful fall weekend!

Rarely have I had the time to do Halloween costumes.. but my Princess Clown has inspired me! ... thinking Witches & Princess Tickle Feather.... maybe a Fairy thrown in for good measure! if you're patient... you may get a peak in a week or so!

as always.. I'm sewing & enjoying every minute! will have some new items to post in the next week... but in the meanwhile.. a few photos... a picture is worth.. how many words??? a thousand???

Pretty Pink "Grab & Go" Wrislet Purse to carry all her must haves in! ... especially that blackberry to keep up with class notes! just put everything you need in a pretty little clutch & you'll be ready in a minutes' notice!
