Sweetsuds by Lauren

Last month I sold this vintage 1980's polka dotted, taupe fabric to a customer who designs custom children's clothing. 

After a few conversations, Lauren had informed me of her ever growing business, and that her customer likes her daughters clothes made out of vintage fabric which http://Freshandswanky.com has plenty of!

Lauren designed this adorable little girls skirt from the FreshandSwanky fabric she purchased. I had to share this with you because not only is she an awesome customer of mine, you may want her to design custom apparel for your children. You can email her at Sweetsudsbylauren@gmail
