This week the girls start cutting their (circle or pleated) skirts!


Currently, there are no Sip 'n Sews scheduled, but you can order private sewing lessons here:
https://www.anagrassia.com/collections/learn-to-sew/products/south-bend-sewing-lessons
June is full. Please order classes in advance for July and August.

If I can squeeze it in my schedule, I will have more sewing classes for 9-11 year olds Friday afternoons. (Pending Plans)

I can't work on new CUSTOM orders until July. If you need a product before mid-late July, please contact me before placing your order. I blocked off the month of June for another custom wedding gown :)

All ready-to-ship orders (fabric, sewing machines, and buttons) will ship out in 1-3 business days after your order is place online.

Thank you!

Ruby wool sold out again! I was able to restock it quickly. But I suggest you order for the fall and winter soon. The wool sells quickly and sometimes it takes weeks/months to restock the bolts of wool.

First Communion Season: https://www.anagrassia.com/blogs/news/handmade-first-holy-communion-dresses

It was a delightful First Holy Communion season. My daughter was by my side for most of the work and fittings. We really enjoyed everyone who came in for fittings, sewing classes, and alterations. Thank you!

May God bless and protect all the children who received the sacrament this spring.

Recommend watching this documentary. My grandmother shared the same stories.
https://www.pbs.org/show/baba-babee-skazala/

Baba Babee Skazala:
The story of Ukrainian children torn from their homes by N***s & Soviets in World War II.

Despite the heaviness of the documentary, my mom and I chuckled that the Ukrainians wore their vyshyvanka and best clothes when they fled.

Friday in the Anagrassia atelier....finishing a flower girl dress, reviewing fabric swatches for a custom wedding gown, and shipping out fabric and tunic orders.

I stumbled upon Miriam Rawson's Rag Bag Doll Collection when I was sourcing new fabrics for the shop. This collection is full of vintage inspired fabrics and rag doll fabric patterns.
Shop: https://www.anagrassia.com/search?q=rag+doll+collection

I am really excited to sell these fabrics in the shop. My daughter really enjoyed helping me stuff her new dolls. She will learn to cut and sew by making her new dolls clothes!

I highly recommend the Rag Bag Doll fabric as a summer activity for mothers and daughters. It would also make a great gift for Mother's Day or a child's birthday!

1 yard of Rag Bag Doll fabric includes the full panel of doll pieces and instructions.

The RUBY red wool is back in stock after flying off the shelves last year and being on backordered since it sold out.

Last year, this wool sold out in less than a week.
If you have been waiting for this red wool, I advise you to order before I sell out. It may take another 6 months to get more.

Shop RUBY red wool here: https://www.anagrassia.com/products/ruby-wool-fabric

It is 100% wool and a beautiful red color.
