Sew Down!

 A few pieces of upcycled material, waiting to be made into a-line skirts. 
Find them next week at Poor Jean!

Here in our 690 sq. foot home, my husband and I are drowning in fabric.  It has displaced the linens in the linen closet, pushed my clothes out of the clothes closet, overtaken  two bookshelves, a wicker trunk, and a leather armchair.  Therefore, as a sort of "fall cleaning", it is time to commence a Sew Down; that is, I'm going to try to sew every piece of new and upcycled material into a garment and post for sale on Poor Jean before the end of September.  All items will be ready to ship, in varying sizes.  Visit Poor Jean early next week for the first batch of Sew Down upcycled a-line skirts, sizes extra small, small, medium, and large!

Late Spring Colors: Yellow, White, and Blue

Canary yellow twill, soft blue denim, and crisp white cotton - these are some of the colors and fabrics that will soon be in the store, including a remnant with a charming vintage tulip pattern (found in a small antique mall in Mt. Vernon, WA). This week I am working on pleated skirts, and bringing the hemlines a little high as the weather gets warmer!
