Spinners for MeMe

I am very privileged to have a wonderful friend who recently began her foray in the world of Etsy shops.  Jen is an amazing woman and mother who somehow finds time to continue to explore her love for design and all things sewing.

Jen's store, Spinners for MeME sells amazing hand crafted spinners (AKA dresses) in sizes 1-4.  I recently took on a collaboration with Jen.  It is a perfect union in my book, I get to make lace and Jen gets to sew and the outcome is a stunning handmade dress with handmade lace features.

The first creation of our collaboration is a dress called the Petticoat Spinner.  In Jen's words -
 It is a classic design, with a lightweight blue cotton over a silver grey cotton voile lining, the full lining drapes into a half circle skirt which peeks out below the outer dress. In our house dresses are known as Spinners, and each new design gets its own name, so this dress has been named the "Petticoat Spinner".





I have designed a handmade lace cloud which hovers over the dresses silver lining.  We are very proud to have had one sale so far and I hope this is the beginning of many more lace collaborations with Spinners for MeMe.

The bonus is this particular dress has been specially designed for the #makeforgood campaign, raising funds for Plan Internationals "Because I am A Girl" project, which supports women in developing countries access education, healthcare and with protection of human rights. 20% of the sale price will be donated to the campaign.
