Sept 29th!

Well, my new computer has been shipped, and it should arrive this week. I am sooooooo relieved! Trying to run Sofie Bell Couture from the one-hour-per-person at the public library have been tough these past few weeks! Soon my beloved Internet.... soon ;-)

I am in full "sewing wars" mode right now, trying to get ready for 5th Ave Couture's big Christmas launch! I am creating 2 sister sets, and 2 dresses a tad more on the formal side. I am sewing everything from Euro bubble jumpers, to funky hats and leg warmers, to gorgeous dupioni silk wraps, collars and muffs. I am very proud of my designs and hope they do well. We have some really big talent amongst the guest roster, so I've really amped up my game to try and stand out!

I won't have a lot pics to download until the new computer arrives, but have put one of a recent Tweety Bird set I finished.

I will be back up in full swing very soon! Please stay tuned for christmas sneak peak pics.

The holiday juggernaut is coming!

It has really become so busy, so fast! The design group I belong to - 5th Avenue Couture, is hosting a holiday guest launch. We have almost 100 guest designers signed up to participate. I predict it will be a spectacular launch! I will post more details on this soon, so please don't forget to check back with me.



I've got most of the fabrics chosen and assigned for my winter/holiday collection. I'm shooting for six complete ensambles. Im a little freaked out about doing so many, but I'm gonna go for it. My fabrics range from goreous dupioni silks and designer velvets, to recycled vintage corduroys and flannels. I am so excited to see these garments come to life on my beauty Sofia.

I'm getting wwaaaaayyyy ahead of myself though... It's only the beginning of September, and I'm jumping to Christmas already! I have a darling set listed right now for Halloween. I listed it last week, got lots of watchers, but no buyers - where are you buyers...? Yoo hooooo? I am relisting it again this week. Here's a sneak peek -





To view the whole listing, search 5thAve on ebay and then find my pic in the list.

Thanks so much for coming to visit me! Peace, Timi Lisa
