I am excited to announce that I have just opened an etsy account! I will be selling Cloaks there that I've made with the awesome fabrics I've been finding. etsy.com is a site that sells all products handmade. It's fantastic.

My Sewing Machine is Back

I went to the Brother service store and picked up my sewing machine today. It seems to be working great. They couldn't replicate my problem, but they sure did get it working again!

Happy, happy, happy. I will get crackin' again!

Sewing Machine Issues

This week, I have not been able to use my Brother sewing machine at all. I called for support but I received no help. I tried to take it back to the store from which it was purchased, but it is passed the time alotted to do so. I am now at the point where I am going to have to take it into an official Brother dealer to get it serviced or changed out.

Thank you for your patience, everyone. I am fervently trying to get this issue solved! I want the best for my clients!

Carnival/Pink Cloak

This Cloak turned out so fun, lively, and beautiful.

This is the Cloak folded up into the pocket.


The pink pocket was the same fabric as the other side of the Cloak.

Surf and Sand Floral/Brown Cloak

This is the latest Cloak I finished last week. It has the Surf and Sand Floral front with a solid brown reverse side. The pocket is made with a coordinating Surf and Sand fabric.

February Shipment of Fabrics

I love this shipment. The colors are so vibrant and fun.

This print is called Carnival. It has bright pink, orange, yellow, lime green, light blue, blue and light brown colors throughout. The "spiky flower" just left of center is a lime green color that rocks. The background is mocha.




Cherry blossoms are a flower I adore and this fabric is covered in them. White blossoms with a yellow-green centers and blue centers and pink blossoms with off-white centers. There are circles with beautiful designs about three inches across throughout. The background is black. It has an oriental flair that I love.

This is a beautiful combination of turquoise flowers and light blue small flowers and stems on a dark brown background. It has an elegant look.

Surf & Sand

Surf & Sand is designed by Michele D'Amore for Marcus Brothers. All of these fabrics coordinate and have matching colors, but my camera does not do it justice. These colors are cool and relaxing. I received this shipment of fabrics in January.

This is an aqua-blue fabric with brown, tan, cream, and light aqua-blue dots and black lines. This picture makes the fabric look more blue in color than it is.



This fabric has brown, tan-linen, light brown, light blue, aqua-blue, aqua-linen, and khaki stripes.

This fabric has tan flower medallions with aqua accents on cream background.

Bella Baby

Bella Baby is designed by Michele D'Amore for Marcus Brothers. I just got this shipment in January.

This is an adorable print with brown baby carriages, balloons and flowers with pink and off-white patchwork in the packground.

Miscellaneous Fabrics

These fabrics I currently have in stock. I have more that I will post later.

This is a dark denim with embroidered tan dandelions. This is not a heavy denim, but it is denim, so it will be thicker than your average cotton.

This is a cool fabric that I really like. I just made a Cloak in February and on the pocket I put on a dragon patch. It looked awesome.

For Now

I currently have a website that is still in the works, but have decided to go ahead and start this blog so as to share the fabrics I am using and communicate with my customers in a more effective way than just email.

My website will be at: nursingcloak.com

I will let you know when it is up and running.

Thank you for your interest!
