Maxi Skirts at the Cache Valley Gardeners' Market

This past Saturday was our last week of selling Ladies and Girls maxi skirts at the Cache Valley Gardeners' Market.  This was our first season of selling our handmade items at the market and I had so much fun. I am going to miss shopping for fun fabrics to make the girl's skirts. Thank you to all who visited us and all who purchased our skirts and other handmade items.  We still have a few skirts on hand and are trying to decide if we will be doing any gift shows this holiday season.  I will update the blog with any events we decide to participate in.

Pillowcase Dresses

I have had so much fun this summer sewing pillowcase dresses for little girls.  For the Forth of July I made red, white and blue polka dot dresses.

The dress is modeled by the daughter of my photographer friend, Emyla. Emyla  is a vendor at the Cache Valley Gardeners' Market and the owner of Em'z Design'z & Photography.

I visit fabric shops frequently.  It is not unusual for me to see a fabric or fabrics and know instantly what I will make with them.  Such is the case with my Big Flowers and Polka Dots pillowcase dress.  I love these colors! Who knew mustard yellow was cute?

Now that August is almost half over and fabric stores are coming out with their fall and winter colors and fabrics I suppose it is time to put away this joyful obsession and move on to something inspired by the change of season.  Suggestions anyone?

Our Etsy shop, Sew & So Handmade Boutique (sewnsohandmade) is up and running for orders of the little girls maxi skirts.  Rachelle will be working to get the ladies skirts listed soon.  I received my first Etsy sale within 24 hours! I was so surprised! Thank you, Heather in Green Bay, Wisconsin for being the first to place an order through our Etsy shop.

Welcome to our new blog!

Hello and welcome to our new blog created to share what is new with Sew & So Handmade.  First, let me introduce myself.  My name is Susie.  I moved to beautiful Logan, Utah from Boise, Idaho a little over a year ago to be closer to my 6 grandchildren.  My daughter, Rachelle, and I sew ladies' and girls' maxi skirts and other items.  Currently we are selling our skirts at the Cache Valley Gardeners' Market Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. We also take custom orders and provide shipping for customers outside Logan, Utah, in addition to offering pick-up from our homes. 

Below are some pictures of a few of the girl's maxi skirts and pillowcase dresses I recently made for the market. 

We hope you will stop by our vendor booth Saturday mornings between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. through October at the Cache Valley Gardeners' Market.  Beginning this year the market has moved to Willow Park, near the horseshoe pits. See you there!
