Winter Break

Here at Mini Mob we're stil in holiday mode.  Many of our dresses were sold and although the intention was to restock the shop winter break rolled up on us which meant the kids were at home.  Which led to less sewing and more kid entertaining.


So we are on a self-imposed break.  


Next week sewing resumes and the store restocked - im sure it'll be a slow process as I get my bearings back on track because the holiday can be quite the time to slow down, relax and get out of the hormal hustle and bustle of life.


Hope everyone had a super Christmas and All the Best in the New Year!

New Dress - The Flutter Sleeve

I haven't even posted this to the shop yet but decided to post a sneak peek here.  This gorgeous Flutter Sleeve dress is a size 4T and the fabric is bright, fun and very mod.  The bodice is a very minimal flower pattern while the skirted half is a multicolored chevron.  These days chevron and stripes are totally the new black.  


Enjoy!
Flutter Sleeve Dress Size 4T  Will be posted later this evening.

What are you waiting for?  Go visit the shop.

Organizing Love

Sewing within an chaotic mess is frustrating.  I hate having to dig around looking for elastic or bias tape.  On my other blog I posted about getting my notions organized, if you haven't read it I've added it below or you can click over to my personal blog and read from there. As I noted I bought all my bins from Storables here in Portland, I was surprised by the wide selection and fantastic prices!

Jumbo Collar - Custom Order

I finished a second custom order today.  This time for the Jumbo Collar dress.  I love this dress so much.  That jumbo sized, peter pan collar is simply adorable, especially when done up in contrasting fabric.

Christmas Shopping

Did you participate in the Black Friday fiasco?  I have never in my life gotten up at 12am, 1am, 2am; I just don't see the point.  I remember back in the day when Black Friday just started getting big the list of items any store had for sale was a big secret.  Slowly websites started popping up alluding what may be on sale for Black Friday.  These days the stores just put it all out there weeks in advance.  Consumers are able to compre the goods from each store and that sale frenzy starts building in each and every person.  

I'll admit i'll skim the sale papers and see what's out there.  But it may have to take an extraordinary event for me to actually hall my butt out to wait in line, in the middle of the night to get a flat panel tv for $25!  Like I said its not ever going to happen.    I did buy something on Black Friday, but I bought it online.  it was something that 2 of my kids asked for and that was it.
