and we are back!

In August : "I am loosing the battle for time. I feel like every woman I know feels like this around this time of year and I'm not different. I had great plans for cutting and sewing like a mad woman and some how I've been driving kids all over the East Coast instead. I wanted to sew up some school clothes for my girls and youngest son. Our elementary school follows the "school uniform" dress code, navy or khaki bottoms with collared tops in white, blue or red. I did get started but I had hoped to do so much more."

Well we've made it through August and the first day of school! The kids are sporting their navy & khaki shorts from Whigs & Tories. (we will have these available on Etsy in the early spring & late summer)

We received our first feed back on Etsy

Whigs & Tories will have space at the Hannah's Closet Williamsburg Event in September and we need to get ready!

Just signed up with Square so we can accept credit cards at the event. WooHoo.

Thanks for reading!

Our first Custom Order - Cutie-Pa-Tootie Shorts with pockets

so a potential client found our Cutie-Pa-Tootie Shorts and requested them in Navy and Khaki *with pockets* and I said "sure, no problem."

As the originial pattern doesn't include pockets I'm kind of winging it. I found some help here:

http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2013/03/adding-hidden-side-pockets-to-anything-skirt-pants-shorts-etc.html and I wanted to give credit where credit is due as it is helping immensely

First attempt a little messy.

Trying again...

Much better!

they've been mailed to their new home. I hope the little girl who receives them is happy with them!
