We Can Do it!

I designed this fabric a while back, I used a vintage poster and made some adjustments, added my name (brand) in tiny font at the bottom and voila!

I love this poster, it's so powerful, fun and of course retro which is one of my favorite things ever.
I originally only used the fabric to make tanks, but then I decided to use it for drop waist dresses. I found a matching red polka dot fabric for the bottom and I think they turned out pretty cool.

I love personalized necklaces. I have a few with my boys' initials and a couple with my own. Now that we know our fourth baby will be a boy, we need to start thinking of names, once we pick a name, I'm ordering the first necklace below.
