new store opening! HeidiandFinn Studio




We are really excited to announce our new store opening HeidiandFinn Studio - ready to ship and custom made boutique for modern kids   http://www.heidiandfinnstudio.etsy.com/


here are a few samples of what we have to offer right now!
We are focused mainly on Ready to ship items - as we buy our fabric in VERY limited quanties and try to use vintage and upcycled textiles whenever possible, also this ensures the uniqueness of each item and really makes your little one extra special!
We have lots more to list - so check in often

If there is any interest in any of our OOAK items as a pattern - let us know, we would love to hear from you!
thanks
we hope you enjoy the new shop

Our Little Military shirt pattern is finally ready for testing! yay

We have all our testers now - thank you everyone
We Will need 1 pattern tester for each size range
12M
2T

3T/4T
5T/6T

What you have to do:

1. Have intermediate to advanced sewing experience (nothing against newbies and not that this is a hard pattern to sew, i just need people who have used a lot of patterns before and know what makes sense :)
2. Item to be finished in 1 Week or less of getting the pattern
3. Check pdf for spelling mistakes or pattern labeling mistakes, or any other mistakes (...there are probably a lot :) )
4. Provide a good Picture of the finished product, both of shirt on its own and in action on a little boy (Bonus **if it is a great picture and we use it on our website - you could get even more free patterns! yay)

....not too hard right?

what you need:

1 yard of lightweight to med. weight material for main shirt
1/4 yard of fusible interfacing
Various small scraps of fabric for the "military stripes" above pocket
5 or more matching buttons (depending on how many you use to close the front)
matching thread, sewing machine (obviously!)
optional - patches, embroidery work for embellishment for front or back

if you think you are up to being a tester - let me know by commenting below along with the size you would like to test and your contact info
i will email you the pdf file once all the testers have been chosen (you will recieve the pdf file with all the sizes although i will only need you to test the one size you are picked for)
I will be picking on a first come first serve basis again - so comment soon

thanks again everyone!
