A Change in Operation

I would like to preface this blog post by stating how much we LOVE our customers. I mean, LOVE. We are grateful beyond measure and appreciate not only your business, but being part of your lives. We have many repeat customers and begin to "know" you by the names embroidered on your custom shirts. I have never met Annabelle or Savannah, but I have made them so many shirts that I feel like they're old friends. It's nice.

Because of our fabulous customers we have become really busy. Busy to the point that our customers are waiting...and waiting...and waiting for their orders. Because we want our customers to receive their orders as quickly as possible, over the next few weeks and months we will begin to carry a MUCH wider variety of ready to ship items. Many of our monogrammed or custom items will still require a wait, but our goal is to keep the wait for custom shirts and monogramming to under 2 weeks. We also will be offering a wider variety of styles and prints.

Thank you again for your business and support. We appreciate you tremendously :)

Look Who We Have!!

(She really loved an impromteu photo session at 8:30 am!)

Anne is SUPER excited to welcome Katie as her assistant/master organizer/child care expert. Katie's duties around the studio include everything from cutting, organizing, assisting in design, and SHIPPING! Having Katie on staff to help with shipping will allow Anne to get orders out much more QUICKLY.

Katie also brings a fabulous eye for design and sells and designs Aggie game day dresses. Look for us to post and offer some of her amazingly cute ADULT game day dresses very soon.

We are happy to have her on board and look forward to her sharing her talents and enthusiasm with our customers!

Backstage Pass

We've given a glimpse into Anne's studio before, but here are some of her tips and storage uses!

My work table is an old dining room table. The desk, was made by my husband (he's so crafty). I use rubbermaid shelving under the table to store scrap fabric, smaller peices of fabric, and thread. The table holds my cutting area, serger, and sewing machine.

My room has amazing natural light and recently I had my husband hang a birdfeeder outside this window. The ironing board and my embroidery machine sit where I can look out the window while ironing or checking embroidery work.

The entryway to the studio has these alcoves where shelves used to be. The previous owner displayed her HUNDREDS of Precious Moments dolls on the glass shelving....Needless to say, I'm not a Precious Moments collector, so I removed the shelving and hung up tension curtain rods to hang finished clothes.

This is my fabric storage shelf. I bought comic book cardboard backing and wrapped the fabric arond the backing(actually my MOM did it!). It works great because it is acid free and cheap! The baskets hold *some* of my blank shirts and I can write the sizes in the basket on the chalkboard labels purchased on ETSY That's our little peak for the day!
