Ninja and Mermaids - Sofie's favorite subjects right now. Watching Sofie sneaking around the house throwing pretend smoke bombs with her "real life" ninja master daddy gave me an idea for my fall/winter collection. Hee, trying to sketch ideas for a cute and feminine ninja appealing to little girls- now that's a challange!
As for back to school, I am almost finished with a Tic Tac Toe oufit I used straight from a 1955 pattern. It is not one of my original designs, but the charm and nostalgia of this darling set just begged to be brought to life. It sounds kind of silly, but usually when I am mulling over design ideas I go for fabrics first. The fabric has to "speak" to me, it usually "tells" me what it wants to be and then I'm off and running. Usually I don't go gah-gah over patterns, but I just could not resist "tic tac toe!" I will only be offering one set for sale in my eBay store this weekend.
Next week it's time to design Halloween! I love the holiday season it is sooooo fun and inspiration is all around!
