One fun elements of market for Shop owners is to see the garments made up!
I went to the Heirloom Sewing Market in Birmingham over the weekend.
I have a booth where I sell my OFB patterns, buttons and jewlery to shops.
Thousands of Mother of Pearl Buttons.
Emma's Smocked Baby Dresses made from a cute print.
The Handmade Dress was my booth neighbor.
The entire family was there on Monday morning.
Right around the corner from me was The Ulster Linen Co.
I love their linen!
This little Baby dress was featured in Sew Beautiful magazine. It is from the pattern Best Embroidered Baby Clothes One.
Made, of course, from Ulster Linen!
Go to your local shops today
and see what pretty things they brought home from Market!!!

I'm not sure, but it seems like heirloom sewing is a Southern thing? Every time I see these posts about markets and articles about conventions on heirloom sewing, I am so jealous! I never see this sort of thing up here in the (extreme) Northeast. Someday (perhaps when I retire!), I want to make OFB garments and find (or indoctrinate) some kindred spirits so we can stitch together and have tea luncheons, and ooh and aah over each other's grandchildren!
