Megan in her Eva Mei & Me Skirt

Thanks to Megan for allowing me to share this photo with you all of her wearing her very own Eva Mei & Me Skirt. It is a first, as I have never made a skirt before for an adult. I was so worried about how it would look. I have to say though that I think I worried for nothing as Megan looks absolutely gorgeous, and it makes me want to make more for the shop now. I just hope that the tops and other skirt she has ordered turns out nicely also. I have been away since last Friday and I experienced some awful wihdrawls from my sewing room. So because of that I just had to go out and purchase some fantastic vintage fabrics from a very groovy shop in Paddington, Brisbane called Retro Metro. I have taken some photos of them and will post hopefully later tonight, along with my recent op shop purchases of some antique teacups and plates etc (my new addiction). Stay tuned, there will be more posts coming.

Next Photo Shoot scheduled for Saturday

Well it's high time I got together with my friend and her camera and her daughter for another eva mei & me fashion shoot. It is scheduled for Saturday morning, and yes it will be rushed as my friend has to get home in time to entertain some guests coming for lunch.

I borrow my friend every so often to get some lovely shots for the shop, she loans me her daughter as a model AND she takes the shots with her trusty SLR. This time she is bringing a friends daughter as well who is only 18 months or so old and can model some of the smaller sizes for me. I have been lacking a live model for the younger age group so hopefully this will work well. I repay my friend by giving her clothing. This seems to work well.

I haven't had as much sewing time for the shop lately as I would have liked but have managed to get a couple of skirts together yesterday and hope to do some more tonight and tomorrow. So after the photo shoot on Saturday there should be some new listings in the shop. I have been busy working on a custom order for a ladies skirt (eek, I don't do ladies stuff !) and I have 3 owls to do for my said photographer friend.

Speaking of photos, where are all the photos of the clothes I have sold to you all over the last few months. I am checking my emails regularly but alas none have arrived yet (COME ON !!).

Anyway, I need to cook dinner, so I am signing off for now.

Happy sewing :)
