if loving custom projects is wrong...i don't want to be right!


i have had quite a few custom orders lately and i am absolutely loving it.  i feel as though they give me new challenges and insights in to my creative process.  from using fabrics that i normally wouldn't to adding new pieces and shapes to old patterns.  it's extremely humbling and rewarding to know that i can help make someone else's ideas a reality.  okay, enough with the sap...back to the sewing room!

svan fan...

okay, so i am a little slow on the uptake sometimes.  i recently needed a new high chair for my little guy and came across a great deal on a svan that i couldn't pass up.  after putting it together i discovered that the tray didn't fit.  a frustrating situation that led me to realize that i definitely chose the right chair.  after calling scandinavian child and explaining the situation, they immediately sent out the replacement parts that i needed.  perfection!  
the foot rest keeps him sitting in the correct position, the tray is easy to clean and store, and the front shield keeps him seated. the only downside to this seat versus a bulky plastic one is that you cannot recline the seat to give baby a bottle after his meal.  no big deal for me, but some might really feel they need that option.  
all in all, i love my new seat and my friends do too!  one of my friends recently used it for her son while at my house and can't wait to get one of her own!  for more information just click on the link below:
