Wow--It's ALREADY early February! I just ordered fabric for my 4th natural pageant dress of the year and am staying busy with other orders! So many fun projects keeping me busy!

I am eagerly pinning down my fabrics for my spring inventory order! Be on the lookout!

Be sure to keep up with my new items on etsy and keep up with my projects on facebook!

These pictures I took of Nicholas in his new lace blouse I made him yesterday--so Southern, so handsome! I could just eat him up!

Yesterday I got to take pictures of an adorable little girl with such personality! Check out the photos and outfits you can order on my facebook page!!!!

This is a great project for a beginner learning to sew--or a GREAT seamstress wanting to make something cute quick! This is best fit for children, BUT if you want a cute simple skirt for yourself--go ahead and get sewin'!

2012 is HERE!

This year I am adding SO many things to my business! I have already begun pageant wear and tomorrow I will post my FIRST tutorial on www.marleyscloset.com !

I am hoping to add MORE pageant wear this year and MORE gifts! Also to make my website more interactive rather than just a viewing source!

As always, I plan to continue participating in auctions on Monday nights on Izzy B designs on Facebook--check out my items always priced WAY low! You could win MORE for LESS!

Here's to a great year of 2011 with great customers and high hopes for a great NEW year with new and returning customers!!!

Thanks for keeping me in business!

After I finish my current Christmas and custom orders I will begin making my Spring line for 2012! I will have many READY TO SHIP items--especially smocked bishop dresses and jonjons!

I am also hosting a giveaway! Help www.facebook.com/marleyscloset get to 800 fans--have some 'like' the page, then post your name and what number fan they are! Whoever sends the 800th fan wins a FREE smocked easter outfit up to 4t! This contest is going on until March 1! If I don't reach 800 fans I will not give away the prize!

I will also be adding MANY micro-checks to my fabric stock--making custom orders faster to ship out!

Pageant Dresses can still be custom ordered--may have some ready to ship starting in March!

If you are looking to have something custom ordered please go ahead and contact me NOW so I can put you on the books!

I am now taking Christmas orders through mid November! I will then begin taking Easter and spring orders!

I am going to be making LOTS of stock for Spring after the Christmas season! I will have LOTS of pre-made, ready to ship bishop dresses and jonjons--I will also take orders for them until fabric runs out! If you are interested in purchasing a discounted sample please contact me! Samples are made and photographed then sold at discount! You get a brand new item for LESS!

I will be hosting a few 'giveaways' in March--be on the lookout! You will be able to win these by participating in facebook contests and games hosted on www.facebook.com/marleyscloset

I will also begin posting sewing and crafting tutorials on www.marleyscloset.com ! If you have something you would like to know how to do please ask or post on facebook wall!
