Happy Birthday Bentley

Happy Birthday to my grandson Bentley!!!

Bentley is my oldest grandchild and my only grandson which makes him my most favorite grandson too :) Poor fella had to go to school today but I know he had a great time after school and really will end up with an entire week of birthday by the time the week is over. Last Sunday he had his brthday celebration with his Nana and Papa, today with Mrs. Lisa and then his family at home but we are not through yet... he will have another little birthday party here at Granny's on Sunday. Aaaahhhhh to be a child that is so loved!

I have been busy at work this week but have also had a bit of time on the evenings to get a bit of sewing in for the shop (if you haven't been there stop in http://www.grannyzann.etsy.com/). Below are a couple of pics of the new items posted today - very pretty vintage chenille outfits and I will have 3 additional ones to post later and all will be a bit different.

Pillowcase Dress and Capri pants size 2T

Jumper with Capri pants size 2T

I have the little boys fabrics all in and will start on those this weekend and I am so excited to finally be offering a boys line and eventually may add larger boys however; right now it will only go to 4T and my little great nephew Josiah has agreed to be my model. He is the cutest darn thing!! Adorable and will be 1 in a couple of months. I told his Grandma today that I would have to pay him royalty fees because he is so stinking cute and I know he will make my little boys line sell like hot cakes:)

Sewing Tip: For patterns that I use a lot (like the ones in my shop) I make master copies of the patterns by tracing on to interfacing (the kind with graph squares) and use these instead of the thin paper patterns that are made by the pattern companies. These last a really long time and a lot of the time you do not even need to pin these down to cut out your fabric since they sort of stick a bit on their own because of the texture. 

Good night all......
