Snails Pace

I have some skirts sewn now! I hope to pick up the sewing pace a bit. My daughter seems to want one of every fabric combination I make...this could take a while...

Pattern progress

The first pattern style is finished! The second pattern should be done by Thursday. Now I just need to find a source for oak tag. Barefoot Graphics in California, MD was helpful last time I went in, so I'll check with them. Recently they sold me a 15 foot length of wide white paper. So useful!

Finally!

I've done it! The Polka Dot Forest Blog has begun!

Right now I'm working up patterns for 2 girl's skirt styles, each with two variations. There is a lot of trial and error in this process. I should have the patterns done by the end of next week. Then it's on to a massive cutting and sewing frenzy! My first big sales opportunity is December 6, 2008, which gives me about 2 months to get organized. Like my friend said today, there is nothing like a deadline to get you moving!

At some point I will open an online store at etsy.com. This is where Polka Dot Forest products will be sold!
