Thanksgiving Outfits for my Twins

Its not often that I have time before a holiday to sew for my twin girls.  And if I do happen to have time I'm so over sewing that I usually do something quick for them.  This year though, I had these gorgeous out-of-print fabrics that I purchased specifically to make them Thanksgiving outfits.

Since we have multiple family dinners during Thanksgiving, and don't do anything big for Christmas {just Christmas dinner with the 6 of us}, I wanted to make them something extra special.

I also have a bazillion ideas running through my head for spring 2012 and so it was a great opportunity for me to try out some new things!

After I cut out the peasant dress with apron and ruffle pants, I had leftover fabric.  I HATE to have small amounts of fabric left, so I used what was left to make a cute peasant shirt. 

My girls adore their new clothes, and that's really what its all about!  <3

Charming Necessities on Celebrity Baby Scoop

Wooo hoo!  In case you missed it, or aren't a fan of Charming Necessities on Facebook - yesterday the Ma Cherie Peasant Dress was featured on the Celeb Baby Gear: Get the Look Series!  So neat!  Here's a screen shot - click the picture to follow the link to the actual article.  :)

Ready to Ship Upload tonight!

Ready to Ship sale will be held on the Charming Necessities Facebook Page.  See you there!

Direction

Some of you may have noticed that a lot of hair accessories that used to be available on Charming Necessities are now gone.

I wanted to update all my fans and customers on the direction Charming Necessities will be taking.  Its not a huge change - but one that is critical for CN to continue running smoothly.

I will be carrying a select amount of hair accessories from now on.  Mostly headbands made to match my collections plus a few other items that are good sellers.  There are many many places online to find basic flower headbands and hair bows, so I will continue to carry the more unique pieces and of course items to match the clothing I make.

As most of my fans on facebook know - I have four children.  I homeschool my 7 yo son - and this year I am also doing pre-school with my 4 yo son.  So during the day {when I used to use free time to make hair accessories} I am now doing school with my boys.  My nights are dedicated to sewing, and since I really have no extra time now, I needed to "de fluff" my site and focus on where I want CN to be going.

I sell much more clothing, and I think that other than the Mini Top Hats, most customers know CN for the dresses and sunsuits and so on.

I want to thank my customers for keeping me so busy!  I am so thankful that you all love Charming Necessities so much.  My current turn around time is 4 weeks for clothing, however I am happy to say that I am getting orders out about 5 days earlier than that right now. 

Lastly, I am going to *attempt* to hold a Ready to Ship event once a week.  I will try to allocate one day a week to sewing ready to ship items, since here has been such a great reception to previous ready to ship uploads!  But I say "attempt" because there will be weeks where my order load will be such that I won't be able to make ready to ship items, I will have to use that day to work on regular orders.  I will keep you up to date on my facebook page!

I will leave you with this - my sweet boys taking a trip to the post office with me.  :)
