in our shop: the tablecloth dress




She was a curious girl, visiting a log cabin in the woods.  As she sat at the small wooden table eating the bear's breakfast potage, she stared transfixed at the beautiful woven linen tablecloth. 

And voila the result of her inspiration: a little linen dress with alluring blue stripes.  If all goes well getting the shop running, we will have a few for sale today.    We only have 12 of them available--sizes small (2-3) ****NOW SOLD OUT *** and medium (4-5).  Made of nubby oatmealy european 100% linen.  Bound with 100% cotton of the finest men's shirting material.  All handmade in our little cottage industry in the USA.  Each dress took three hours to make!  All hems and bindings were sewn by hand with the greatest attention to detail.  (Bravo Jordan--my brilliant seamstress niece!)   

Hopefully you'll be able to get one for your girl.  We think this dress will make her look beautiful.  And maybe even help her to eat her oatmeal!

I'm going to obsessively click on your shop button until it stops saying that it's under maintenance. The dress is darling and it has my little one's name written all over it.

I am really impressed with your stuff. (I'm wishing you made the dresses in grown-up sizes.) Your style reminds me a lot of the type of things I like to sew. It's always cool to find a fellow seamstress.
