A long trip can be so inspirational! I just returned from three weeks in Paris and Venice.

I had to peek in every shop window to see the latest fashion trends and the new Fall colors. Everywhere I went little mental notes and sweeping design ideas filled my head and were etched on cafe napkins, the backs of ticket stubs and bits of scrap paper.

My LilyandEbony sewing studio is full of bright new fabrics with wonderful textures and prints. Vintage buttons and laces from Paris brocantes made their way home with me.

I have created some fabulous Winter Holiday Styles for your little ones, my best boutique customers. The first set is a pink flowing satin skirt and halter top with vintage lace inset.

AnnaBella Love Birds

I could not resist Tina Givens latest collection, AnnaBella. The little Love Birds and scrolls in these beautiful Fall colors made into such a lovely little dress for back to school. Layered with a peplum and trimmed in subtle ruffles, it will be her perfect first day of school dress. Dress and leggings available on Ebay... Designed and created by LilyandEbony. Fabrics available in several color ways at www.AllegroFabrics.com

Tea Time with Ava Rose

Tea Time with Ava Rose is an exciting combination of some of the most beautiful fabrics in a new collection by Tanya Whelan for Free Spirit. Tanya was inspired by the beauty, innocence and vibrancy of her little girl at age seven. The collection is vintage in feel but modern in it's clear and vibrant colors. This collection is for big girls and little girls alike.
LilyandEbony has created this very fun Tea Time set...A flirty Apron using a new pattern from the Apron Lady, a peasant top and trimmed capris.
Find everything you need to make this wonderful Apron at AllegoFabrics.

Central Park, New York!

WisteriaLane just launched it's newest collection inspired from Central Park, New York.
For my LilyandEbony set I used a new pattern from Oliver and S called Bubble Dress. I am carrying the pattern on my fabric website, AllegroFabrics. It is so easy to make! I used Michael Miller's Rubber Duckie fabric (also available in my store) and a cute orange polka dot. See it here.

What's New at AllegroFabrics?

It just arrived today! I have several bolts of Ava Rose already listed in my store. It is sooo beautiful. Tanya Whelan has done it again...romantic prints, stunning colors and a collection to inspire...it just could not stay wrapped in plastic for more than a short hour around here...so....
I cut out a very cute Tea Party Hostess set for Grace to model...with a new pattern that I am introducing over at AllegroFabrics next week. Stay tuned!

Back to School for the Girl who Loves Horses!
