This week we finished some sweatshirts for a local high school craft fair fundraiser.  It is for the music department, so if you are in town visit the Southridge High School on November 5 between 9 am-4pm.



We also have been making a couple of aprons. They were great fun to make.  Pattern came from an Instructables tutorial by compwalla. Great instructions and safe advice.



Sue liked her aprons so much that she asked us to stitch out some more, so we are working on those.  We are also trying to find our way through the ins and outs of starting a small business. We have faith that one day we will have it all worked out. (The rules will change then, but it won't be our fault. I don't think.)

 We stayed very busy through the pandemic with family projects. Life seemed to slow down and speed up at the same time.  We are the proud new owners of 16 needle embroidery machines and are having a blast creating designs and stitching them out.  We have been asked by several people to do some small jobs.  We really enjoy the work and working together, so we have decided to officially create ElleCie Designs LLC.  We stitched out a lot of lace for a prom dress. It took two hours to stitch out one.  We needed six. We have made patches for the Walla Walla Sheriff's  Office. They had a community event, so we stitched out super hero patches for them.  We also stitched out pink badges to support cancer awareness. We stitched out aprons for Sue's Turkey Drive. The picture was designed by Sue's Grand-daughter. We have made patches for the high school girls tennis team. We have made numerous bags, which we have been told have too many pockets, but we respe...

The future of ElleCie Designs or at least until next Thursday

We really appreciate all the love and support from all our family, friends, and those that liked our products so far.  We have received our first order for a custom bag and we are really excited about creating a one-of-a-kind bag for Nikki.  Thanks for your confidence in us. Thank you for your patience with us as we figure out how to share our creations.  Mom and I had a business meeting to discuss our plans for ElleCie Designs and what we want to do next.  After much discussion, and a big snow cone, we have decided that we are going to feature one of our products each week.  The featured item will be discounted at our Etsy Store, Elleciedesigns for that week.  On our blog we will post either a free pattern or share tips that are connected with the featured product. We also talked about some projects that we were interested in doing next, (it was a pretty big snow cone).  We design our own patterns and have a great time problem solving the tri...
