Here are a couple of shots of my sweet sister at ADPi Family weekend rocking her Caroline dress in style. Instead of the ruffled halter, though, she opted for a more simple halter style. I think you'll agree that she is looking presh.
I always think that every piece I make it my favorite, but this time, I think I'm serious. This Hannah dress and Belle skirt are for a friend of a friend who's heading off to Mexico for fun and adventures. I'm so thrilled that Hems & Hers will be along for the ride. We're going international... it's a fiesta!
Those of you who have been around the blogosphere certainly know Queen Bee Swain. One of my favorite bloggers (as a read and as a friend), I was ecstatic to make a lovely little Hannah dress for her. The Queen was kind enough to send me this picture and attached note about her Hems & Hers experience.
"This fetching dress arrived on my doorstep in early September and has proved to be a fantastic transitional piece as the temperatures take a nose-dive. It is so comfortable, easy to wear and attention-grabbing, I can't help but strut a bit more than normal when I sport the Hannah dress out and about. You know that you have a great piece when you've received compliments on it within minutes of sitting down at your desk- even men paid praise for this cheerful frock. I've had so much fun playing around with what is paired with it- because beggars cannot be choosers- the lady in my office that took this pic did not capture the whole ensemble, but I was wearing this with my favorite pair of riding boots to give it a further autumnal touch. Great pieced with or without a belt too!"
I am so excited about this skirt. I know I say that all the time, but this one may truly by my new favorite fall piece. It's no secret that I love both bright colors and houndstooth. The way those two come together on this fabric is just perfection. I can't wait to see Krissy sporting this around town as the temperatures get cooler and cooler.
Phew! Life has been crazy for these little sewers (the needle and thread variety - not the breeding ground for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). So what have we been whipping up? Pretty threads, of course. These are just a small sampling of what we've been putting together, so keep your eyes peeled for more shots coming soon.

This weekend I went with my dad and sister to Knoxville for the amazing Tennessee-Georgia game (45-19!!!). We were up early on Saturday to go to the Tennessee-Georgia game with our grandfather; HOWEVER, Saturday morning dawned damp, chilly and gray, which meant I wasn't able to wear the Susan skirt I made for the game - complete with buttons and ric rac trim. I adore this skirt - the fit, the flair, everything - but I doubt I'll be wearing it much, so I'm offering it up to my Hems & Hers readers (particularly Tennessee or Clemson fans, but I won't discriminate if you just love orange, like I do). This skirt will fit sizes 6-8 as a high-waisted skirt, and size 4 at the natural waist. The skirt is $50, and if you're interested, shoot me an email... I'll get it in the mail tomorrow!
Lest you think that Hems & Hers specializes solely in warm weather clothing, I chose to turn my newest Belle skirt into the perfect Southern weather transitional piece. By pairing this pretty gray piece with a turtleneck and gray ruffled booties this morning, I stayed perfectly in season and weather appropriate all day.
