From Birdsong Bows:

Birdsong Bows offers comprehensive patterns and tutorials for a variety of hair accessories, bows, and fabric flowers. But this year, I'm expanding into sewing patterns such as whimsical totes and bags that you and your little ones will love! I have a new Envelope Pillow pattern available this month that includes cutting templates so the pillow won't develop those little ears on the corners. My first bag pattern is a pretty ruffled tote that's perfect as a Barbie accessory case or a pretty organizer for your sewing room or nursery: http://www.etsy.com/listing/93376704/easter-basket-instructions-pdf-fabric.

From Shabby Fabrics......

The Shabby Fabrics story begins here. All along while growing up, I loved arts and crafts with every ounce of my being. When it came time to choose a career and go to college, I figured I couldn't make a living crafting so I pursued an aeronautical degree and became an airline pilot. I would take my hand sewing with me on trips and stitch to my heart's content while laying over at various hotels. The love of crafting never left me.

The events of September 11, 2001 changed the entire world and definitely my own personal world in a very big way. Soon thereafter the airlines began furloughing pilots. Both my husband (also a United pilot) and I found ourselves out of work with no health care, two children and a mortgage. These were indeed uncertain and scary times. All of the flying experience I had accumulated over the last 20+ years suddenly meant nothing. No one was hiring pilots. I knew I would have to reinvent myself and awaken a skill set that I never even knew I had. After much prayer and contemplation, I felt God urging me to do something I loved and knew a great deal about already. After all, we needed to find work right away! I applied for a business license and began selling a few fabrics on ebay.

Ten years later, we are selling fabrics from our own website worldwide and loving every moment. There is no question that God is behind the success of Shabby Fabrics. I have a wonderful staff that I enjoy working with each day. Besides buying products and deciding which projects will becomes kits, block of the month, etc, I also design a line of quilt patterns called Shabby Exclusives. Some of our designs have been featured recently in McCalls magazine. When I think to the future of our company, I remind myself to remain flexible and attentive to God's word and plan. After all, He's the author of this great book.
