Newly Designed Vintage Pillowcase Dress at Cameo Kids Boutique

Exclusively at Cameo Kids Boutique

Ruffled Vintage Pillowcase Dress

After taking a bit of a breather we are back on track with creating and adding new items to the boutique. We have a lot of catching up to do in the bloggy world too! We've been busy and lazy, and enjoying the lazy part after a very very busy 2010 lol. I realized Spring is poking her sunny head through, at least where we live anyway, and Easter is just around the corner, so I needed to get my fanny in gear because I have so many things on my list of creations, and my get at it list! I have a new style to offer for our vintage pillowcase dresses. It's actually a combination of two patterns, "The Original Pillowcase Pattern", and another pattern I have but did a little tweeking to that too. This is the first little gem I worked with to bring it to life.

Meredith, Our first Ruffled Vintage Pillowcase Dress!
She's just ADORABLE!!

The Beautiful Hand Crocheted Hemline!

This is Meredith. This is our ruffled pillowcase dress, the first and is sized for 4T to size 5, might even fit a little girl's size 6 depending on the child. It measures 23 1/2"L from shoulder to hem. The ruffle around the neckline and up over the shoulders is stretchy allowing for more comfort and on this dress it is made from a soft vintage feedsack cotton fabric. This just pulls over the head to wear. No more fussy ribbons to deal with, but I do like that style alot. I added a rescued piece of vintage cream colored lace with three little pink satin rosettes from an old dress, and added it to her neckline for embellishment. The lacey hemline of the dress is hand crocheted in white, and edged in a sweet pink. She turned out really sweet and is ready to ship if this is the one you like, and the size you need. She is a one of a kind and there won't be another like her.
You can find her here: Meredith.

Darling Handmade Holiday Aprons - Mimi's Needle and Thread

Sharing Another Handmade Crafter & A New Friend

It's that time of year again girls! We're off to the business of holiday baking and creating our menus for those wonderful family gatherings to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas! With that thought in mind for all you ladies big and small, I would like to introduce you to a lovely lady who creates the cutest and most festive aprons! Her name is Iris, and she has an online Etsy shop called Mimi's Needle and Thread.

Iris creates many other things too, like crocheted beverage cozies, crocheted or knitted hats for women and little girls, hand made accessories for babies, dolls, plus a whole lot more. She has been sewing for over 30 years, loves to do custom orders to give you something no one else has, and she is just the sweetest funniest lady. I just love her and I'm so glad to now call her my friend.

She recently had this apron listed and I loved it! (shown below). I love chickens and roosters and when I saw this, it just had to be mine. She also did one for my lil granddaughter Emma which I just gave her on her birthday. Now her mommy wants one, so Iris is making that up for her and we are going to start our baking together for the holidays come this week. Emma and I love our aprons! They are superbly made, and from 100% cotton, so we can just throw them in the washer and dryer, and get back to more days of having kitchen fun!

Here's my Emma in hers.

Cute Print Isn't It!?

Emma and I sporting our Funky Chick Aprons together.

I love Iris's combinations of fabric prints.

Well now I want to share her aprons especially her holiday ones. Iris creates aprons for moms, little girls, and even for your little one's dolly, and they can all be matching too!

When visiting her site, Look for her Dolly, Mommy, and Me sets.

Here are a few for you to view! (hehe I sound like a poet!)

If you like the design and style in one of the sets and just want one not the set,

...Just ask Iris! Or, if you like the fabric and want a different style...Just ask Iris!

She's easy peasy and willing to pleasy! (lol I'm on a roll!!!),

Geesh wondering what the HECK was in my milk today!

hehe be thankful I'm not stuttering! :)

Cute cute cute!, and so festive!

I Love Love LOVE this one! It's a bird thing! :) Awww look at those darling birdy faces!

I have a thing about Cristmas mail boxes too!

This one is silk and taffeta!

Well that is just some of the wonderful holiday aprons I have seen either in her Etsy shop or on her Facebook page. You should visit her there too to follow all her news and creations. If you find something you like that she has posted on Facebook....Just ask Iris about it!

Here are some other aprons that she has created. Some are on her site available now, and some of these were custom creations for her customers.

Now this is darn pretty!

This was a custom order.

This is one of her darling daughters Emily modeling an apron! She's a funny girl too!

Well there you have it! Aren't they all just fab!? Did you notice all the details she adds? Now you have an idea with all these aprons that the sky is not the limit in this lady's creations.

If you have an idea of what you want and don't see it....JUST ASK IRIS! :)
