I have been working non-stop like a mad woman since yesterday morning to get these photos up.  This is Part II if you missed the first Top Stitch post.

I just couldn’t leave them alone, the consequences of which are visible all throughout my house:  a huge pile of stuffed animals mixed with crayons on my living room floor, Scarlett in a onesie sitting on top of the kitchen table, and every single dish we own is either dirty on the counter or clean in the un-loaded dishwasher.

Yesterday morning Carrie, the owner of The Top Stitch, and I took three of the most beautiful young ladies around downtown Spokane to show-off some of the clothing and bags she’s created for display in her store.  Hannah, Alex, and Megan were such troopers in skirts and short-sleeved tops in the 40 degree weather!  I even had Megan hiking up a steep hill in her pumps and she had a smile on her face the whole time.  Thanks girls, you couldn’t have been cuter!

And a special thanks to Carrie and her husband Randy for their help and willingness to drive here and there and hold coats and cocoas!

I can’t even begin to explain how excited I am to be working on this project!

Carrie, the owner of my favorite local fabric shop is updating her website so we are working on capturing the essence of her shop in photos.

The Top Stitch is located in Spokane at Monroe and Garland and is full of the most hip and funky fabrics available.  They also carry Janome sewing machines and a huge variety of patterns and books that are sure to spark your creativity.  If you’re into sewing, The Top Stitch has it all.  I think every time I go in there I say, “Oh!  You carry (enter awesome fabric designer, embroidery book, or vintage-inspired notion here)??!!”  They really have such a fun variety!

The best news is that even if you have no clue what I’m talking about with all of this, Carrie offers classes and private lessons for every skill-level.

Check back next week for The Top Stitch Part II because Carrie and I will be heading out on the town with some lovely models to show off her fabric and patterns in action.

And be sure to check out The Top Stitch on Facebook and FLICKR. You may see a bit of me on the FLICKR site.  :)
