Amy Butler new NIGELLA Fabrics are COMING!!!

***NEW FABRICS COMING!!*****

I am happy to say my new "Eeva Dress" has been a big hit. I started this collection in the designer fabrics from Joel Dewberry. He just hit the scene and his fabrics are incredible. Due to the overwhelming response I will be adding more fabrics for this new design - plus I will be doing some jackets for upcoming fall and winter.

Amy Butler has been a favorite fabric designer for years now. I have personally made a few quilts from her fabrics alone. Her stuff is modern and eclectic with a bit of traditional. I LOVE IT!!! She just released a new line called "nigella". It is absolutely stunning!! I will be adding to my "eeva dress" line with three more dresses from Amy Butler fabrics. Two dresses will feature her new "nigella" line and a third from her classic "belle" collection. Unfortunately some of these fabrics are on back order - so it is hard to say when these will be available in my shop. If you would like to be notified when the dresses are available for sale. Please subscribe to this blog (see the column to the right) to receive updates!

Joel Dewberry comments on Lemons and Lollis products!

So... I tried something I never did before and actually sent an email to the fabric designer with links to my creations. I honestly figured I wouldn't get a response - especially considering this guy just released the most beautiful line and I figured he would have emails coming out the wazoo!! To my surprise I got the sweetest email back from JOEL DEWBERRY and it was within 24 hours of me sending my email!! WOW... I was so excited I had to share it here. Here is what he said:

Corina,I was delighted to see your recent creations! To be honest, I came across your EEVAA dress on my own yesterday prior to your email. I try to make a habit of going online, a couple of times a week, to research what is happening with my fabric. What a happy surprise to begin seeing my fabric designs show up on such beautiful projects. It is very rewarding as a fabric designer to see other talented designers like yourself get excited and use my fabric. Thank you. I wish you the best of luck and hope your store is a success.

Toddler Dresses!!! YIPEE!

I have been "chomping' at the bit" (who says that anyways)... to make toddler dresses - partly because my little sweet pea can't wear my creations anymore - she is growing like a weed!!! Plus.. I wanted to create lines that wouldn't leave big sis out. My goal is to have a baby collection and a coordinating toddler girl collection. That way when the new baby is born - big sis can get a little surprise too!!!

When I came across Joel Dewberry's new collection - I knew this was it! I am so pleased with how this dress turned out. It's simple and classic design will make it timeless. It is extremely well constructed with surged seams that are completely encased in the dress - making it a great hand-me-down dress lasting lifetimes. It is reversible giving you two designer looks in one. Plus it is roomy enough you can layer it over a simple white t-shirt and jeans as the seasons begin to change giving your little girl that bohemian chic look! Finally, the cherry on top, I will use it as a cover-up. My daughters latest trick is dribbling her drink down her chin and onto whatever clothes she happens to be wearing. So... I'll keep one in my bag and when we are out shopping and we need a quick wardrobe change - I can throw it over her clothes and we are off!!!

I call it my eeva dress - named after my sweet pea - see more at lemonsandlollis.com

I have been contemplating expanding my collection to include toddler clothing - specifically little girl dresses and tops! When I came across this absolutely FABULOUS new fabric designer JOEL dewberry - I figured this would be my opportunity! To invest in whole bolts of fabric for my Mommy run shop is such a big investment for me! So... I have been waiting for something I just truly LOVE! That way if it doesn't sell - I know I will use it for myself and LOVE it!! I honestly don't think I'll have problems with this designer collection! I can't wait to get it in my hands - Ordered and hopefully here in two weeks - I apparently made it in the first shipment from the manufacturer - YEAH!!! So keep your eyes out and subscribe to a feed of my blog if you want to know when it hits the store!!

Cheers!
