Boutique Bowznstuff Little House Vintage


A Retro TV launch is right up my alley! So many FAV retro TV shows...which one to chose!? Luckily my friend Kathy of pixie*dust*studios stepped in with the idea of Little House. Could not be more perfect. Boutique Custom Little House! Little Girls Clothing a la yesteryear! We have all the DVD's and watch them as a family on a regular basis - fools for Little House - that is US! You can see the set here, the tote that started it all here and the creme*de*la*gems here.

Bowznstuff Boutique Custom Patterns

Bowznstuff offers a range of Boutique Custom patterns and instructions to help you create your own Bowznstuff magic. Currently Bownstuff offers three boutique patterns for girls. The patterns are presented as ebooks and downloadable upon purchase. Each pattern contains either pattern pieces or measurements for sizes 12m-6. As opposed to traditional patterns, Bowznstuff patterns contained detailed illustrated instructions so they are appropriate for beginners through to accomplished seamstresses. Each pattern contains tips and hints for resizing and also for adapting the patterns for different looks. For example the triple ruffle skirt explains how to adapt the skirt to a one, two or three layered skirt and contains instruction for achieving totally different looks by using different finishes on each of the layers. The three Bowznstuff Boutique Custom girls patterns currently available are
  • Bowznstuff Triple Layered Twirl - a favorite with Bowznstuff customers and Bowznstuff pattern fans alike. This is such a great basic pattern as there are so many options from your basic twirl skirt to the full triple layer skirt.
  • Bowznstuff Petal Skirt - a signature Bowznstuff piece - this skirt is total Boutique! So many different options, so many possibilties for combining fabrics.
  • Bowznstuff Triple Ruffle Halter - a little girls dream dress - attractive halter style dress with one frothy frill across the front and three ruffles cascading down the back.
Bowznstuff is also pleased to present detailed instructions for making Boutique Hairbows. At last the secrets for making private collection hairbows are revealed. Hairbow mommies love these instructions as they are not only comprehensive but very reasonably priced. Bowznstuff Boutique Hairbows sell for between $20-70 so whether you are looking to make bows for your own Princess or for sale then these instructions are a great investment. Everything is covered from your basic boutique bow right through to inset loopies, the reverse flip and the mismatched bow. Instructions for Korkers are included as are details for attaching your bows to a variety of clips.
