Making our debut at the Lazy Daisy Williamsburg

Whigs & Tories is in the Lazy Daisy!
Upstairs, along the banister

So it is a big day! The clothing racks are finished and look fabulous! We borrowed a steamer to get all the inventory hanger ready, checked tags and inventory lists and did it again, and headed over to the Lazy Daisy this evening to get our items up and in the store. 

The current idea is two racks: one for the Signature Collection & the Classic Collection. What are those? The signature collection is "The Little Patriot." All are one of a kind pieces within a specific design. For example: 

The Classic Collection is a collection of items we hope to always have available at Whigs & Tories. Seersucker JonJons would be an example of pieces in the Classic Collection:

Classic Collection Seersucker JonJon

On the second rack is another collection of One of a Kind pieces. These are usually in traditional styles with a bit of added cheekiness. Examples of these pieces include:

Sassy Cat Top & Ruffle Diaper Cover

Overalls in Gray Dot print with Harvest Gold accents and Squirrel appliqué 

Coming is a third rack full of darling baby clothing. We also have plans to add a few crates and fill them with diaper covers and little odds and ends.

Trying out a Cold-Shoulder Pattern

I am a fan of Striped Swallow Designs Patterns as I have mentioned in previous posts. This week I have been trying out a cold-shoulder pattern that I purchased from Striped Swallow Designs. It is on trend, cute, and doesn't compromise my ideas about what my little girl, tween girl and teen girl should be wearing in public.

Sizing is always tricky, the size 12 fits both my 11 year old and my 17 year old. (The 17 yr old wears women's xs and s. She's long and lean.)

I've sewn in up in a knit:

the 3rd grader adores hers. She's worn it three days in a row...

today I'm trying it out in a woven fabric, dress length for my oldest. And then I think I'm ready to try some pieces for the shop.
