Sew…It’s Sunday
Sunday, May 4, 2008
Shopping
Ooooh…look what I bought…Vintage Dress Form Vinyl Decals…but I’m getting mine in hot pink (like the ones pictured below). Figured they’d be perfect in my sewing room on my black metal fabric cabinets, right?
Here’s a smaller set of Vintage Dress Form Vinyl Decals from the same seller!
And while I was shopping on Etsy, I bought this and this, too!
Clothing Manufacturing
Remember last week when I was talking about dangerous drawstrings in children’s clothing? Well, it seems the CPSC finally took some action:
CPSC Fines 8 Firms $230,000 for Drawstring Safety Issues
Perhaps other children’s clothing manufacturers will take the drawstring safety issue more seriously…KWIM?
Sewing Blogs
Mary aka Confessions of a Craft Addict is enjoying The Magic Sewing Box she won from me a while back.
Lots going on over at Sew Mama Sew. They listed links to all the Sew Mama Sew Tutorial Winners. In addition, they have a new Sewing Forum!
Patty of Mod Kid Boutique will be debuting her new fabric line with Michael Miller in October! Way to go, Patty!
Kittee posted a tutorial for making Pink Popcorn Balls. YUMMY!
Kristy of Lower Your Presser Foot came up with a great idea for organizing her sewing patterns!
Well, hope everyone’s Sunday is a relaxing one! I think I’ll try to sneak off to Target and do some more shopping without my needy children. Did I mention they’ve been home for 4 days straight? Need I say more?

Hi Lisa, thanks for mentioning my blog - I love it when my posts are relevant to others and are not purely self indulgent! now I’m off to check out those delicious looking pink popcorn balls to indulge the child within

Oooh, I have always wanted to see Martha in person!! How awesome!
I thought I’d drop by to tell you I found an awesome use for the beautiful Michael Miller fabric you sent! It seemed so appropriate to use it to pass on the blessings.

Thank you so much!
The auction just went live: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320249542453
My kids were pooheads today, I thought I’d never get it listed!
There are some talented ladies making some gorgeous things there, the search term is “welovemud” .
(Yep, that was a shameless plug on your blog, but it’s for a good cause - LOL!)
