Fall Fabric Sneak Peak

Wow, time really does fly! It seems like just yesterday I was ordering bright colored fabrics in pinks and greens for spring and summer! As I gear up with inventory for my upcoming fall shows (another post to follow on that shortly!), here is a sneak peak at a few of the fabrics and colors that will be debuting in bags and aprons this fall from Love Elaine!



I'm very excited about the use of red as an accent color this season, especially with teals and blues! What colors are you excited about for this season?!

Perfect For A Picnic

Introducing the Placemat Roll-up! With pockets for your silverware, and a tie to keep it in place, these are perfect for a picnic! The finished size is 14x19. The placemats shown are made in Oz by Moda Fabrics.

The 12 Days Christmas By Love Elaine

Yes, I know its January and I am just posting my Holiday recap - but its better late than never right? (At least that has always been my motto!) So, without further ado - I give you the 12 Days of Christmas Love Elaine style :)

On the 25th of December, Christen finally was able to rest after sewing...

1 reversible place mat (with an IOU to my Mom that I will finish the rest sometime soon)
1 Christmas table runner to match a Christmas Tree Skirt ;)
2 pleated tote bags
3 international orders fulfilled
4 wine bags
7 half aprons PLUS 2 full aprons
9 birdie slings
11 Christmas Stockings
19 jewelry bags
Annnndddd, 25 Christmas Tree Skirts in all shapes and sizes, 22 of them custom!!!!!!

Thank you everyone who supported Love Elaine this Holiday season - my first! And my first on Etsy! I had no idea the level of response I would receive! Thanks to Mom & Grandma for helping and keeping me sane (and for understanding that your gifts are on back order!). I am coming out of my much needed break from sewing, so I'll be posting new items for sale in my Etsy shop soon, finishing past due orders (thank goodness I have understanding friends as customers!) and keeping everyone in the loop as I figure out what 2010 will have in store for Love Elaine!

Holiday Hostess Aprons

Whether you are hosting a huge gang or just plan on making a few pies during the holidays, (or if you just want something girlie to put on when you happen to step into the kitchen?!) we've got the perfect accessory to bring out your inner Betty Crocker! Because, baking is more fun when you're wearing a super cute apron!






You can more holiday aprons in my Etsy shop!

Not Your Grandma's Apron

No offense to your Grandma or her apron, but this girlie hostess apron is sure to flip her skirt! This apron is now listed in my Etsy shop! Be on the lookout for more girlie, vintage-inspired aprons just in time for your holiday entertaining!
