“The End”

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the close of Princess Designs. I thought our loyal customers would like to know what has been going on behind the scenes. We became the new owners of PD during the summer of ‘08. Two months later, we were unexpectedly thrust into homeschooling our youngest son. I kept up with learning how to run a business and how to be a teacher until this past fall when we had to begin homeschooling all three of our children. Since the beginning of this year (2010), I have had to face the fact that I am not Superwoman. As much as I love PD, I am not doing it (or you) justice and I am also doing my children a disservice by not giving their education my full attention. I send out a great, big, heartfelt THANK YOU to all my wonderful customers. There were days that I didn’t think I would get through when one of you would call or email me and turn my day around. You are a special group of ladies and I cherish your friendship.

Thanks and Year End Inventory Sale

We would like to thank all of our customers for helping make 2009 a great year. We appreciate your patience while we learned to juggle Princess Designs with the new frontier of homeschooling our three children. It has been an educational transition (no pun intended). We hope to make 2010 our best year ever!

Christmas Cheer

One of my all time favorite patterns is Children’s Corner Lucy. Lucy is quick to sew and can be embellished in limitless ways. Think of Lucy as a blank canvas. I have created Lucy with pieced fabrics for a patchwork effect, used an overlay on the bodice area, machine embroidered, added a smocked insert and various other treatments.

These jumpers were made with Limelight Corduroy and Red Gingham. They were embellished with Christmas ornament designs from Embroidery Library and Red Gingham Covered Buttons.

 

Kits are available here:  Christmas Cheer!

Summer Vacation

We would like to thank you for being patient with us as we closed the store last week. My family took a vacation to the Smoky Mountains and had a wonderful time.

We saw deer, 

barns painted with quilt squares,

a rushing creek,

 

a church built in 1805,

 

and a bear on our front deck!

 

 

We had a week filled with food, family, and unforgettable memories.

And just so you know, Aaron and I behaved perfectly on vacation…..

I’m Really Excited!

We have just gotten in another shipment of Bonnie Blue Designs’ Iva Leigh and Bailey. Both of these sweet little patterns have been huge sellers since their debut. Both of these patterns would be so cute in a plaid with white collars for the first day of school.

We have also finally received Sew Cute Couture by Gail Doane and published by Country Bumpkin. What a beautiful book! There are 10 precious outfits/patterns including bishop dresses, square yoke dresses with a shaped yoke, wrap skirt, matching purses, and jackets, jackets, jackets! There is a complete construction section, a section devoted to how-to for smocking and embroidery stitches, and a detailed measurement chart. Pattern sizes range from 6 months to 12 years. This is a must have book for your collection!

Maja’s Heirlooms, Trisha, is also new to the shop. The blouse can be pleated or gathered and the skirt is actually a skort!

and the winner is……

We had a lot of fun this week with our Anniversary Treasure Hunt. We will be sending a little something to all who participated. Thanks everyone for playing!
