Handmade Seersucker Bowtie

I know my northern readers won't understand at all, but as the wife of a Presbyterian Minister, church clothes get lots of use at our house.  I bought a couple of yards of seersucker fabric to make a couple of rompers like these for the boys.  I know this is the last summer I'll be able to get away with dressing Deacon like this, so I have to seize the moment right?

I'll post pictures of the romper later on today hopefully once Deacon wakes up.

HOWEVER, Andy who is usually never the benefactor of my sewing projects got a very special southern style bowtie. Isn't it fun?

I'm seriously considering making a few of these to sell.  What do you think?

Ellie,

I check your blog every couple of days and love it. You are so inspiring, and I love your projects. If you are serious about the bowtie thing, I would love to get one for Tim. I have been searching for one for a long time at goodwill and consignment shops, but they never have too much. He has been wanting to try out a bow tie for awhile now. If you are selling, I might be interested in buying! Let me know!

I miss having you all here. I wanted to see you at the Red Bank, but Eli was not feeling so well. God bless you all!

Ellie,

You’ve got three orders already. Time to figure out your price!

And time to find some pink, peach, red, green and yellow seersucker fabric!

This could get lucrative!

Andy
